How do I Become an Egg Donor in Utah?

You must satisfy many criteria to become an egg donor in Utah. Donating eggs is more involved and more invasive than sperm donation, and even after completing the Utah application and screening process, you may not be chosen. Here are some guidelines to help you decide whether donating your eggs in Utah is right for you.

Instructions

    • 1

      Identify whether you fit the general criteria to be an egg donor in Utah. Fertility clinics in Utah look for women in their twenties and in good physical and emotional health. Unlike many other states, Utah fertility clinics prefer women who are taller than 5'2", and request that donors have health insurance.

      Locate a fertility clinic in Utah that you can reach easily, as you will be there for multiple visits if you are selected as an egg donor. If you are selected by an individual or couple soon after completing your application, the process will still take months, as you will undergo fertility treatment before the procedure to harvest your eggs. There are clinics in Salt Lake City and Sandy, and near Provo, West Jordan, and Layton.

      Fill out a donor application form with the Utah clinic you have chosen. This application is a prescreen, meaning it will ask general questions to quickly identify whether you are a potentially viable egg donor. You will have to provide your contact information and physical characteristics such as height, weight, and eye color. You will answer questions about your lifestyle: whether you smoke or drink, if you have taken illicit drugs and how often, and whether you have donated eggs in the past.

      If the clinic approves your application, you will have to provide a complete medical history; Utah requires a complete family medical history, going back three generations. The clinic will also request a full physical exam and psychological assessment.
