Step 1
The first step in becoming an egg donor is simple and quick to complete.
Simply contact our Egg Donor Fairy God Mother, Linda, on 066 22 55 003 or linda@capefertility.co.za or fill in your contact details here. Your information is 100% confidential and will under no circumstances be made available to anybody else.

Step 2
To ascertain your suitability as an egg donor, we will ask you to complete a confidential medical questionnaire. If your medical questionnaire confirms your suitability to donate eggs, Linda will assist you with Step 3.
Step 3
Step 3 is completing an Egg Donor Profile, which is anonymous and confidential. Your privacy and anonymity are guaranteed with us.
Your donor profile seen by potential recipients only show details about your physical characteristics, medical background, education and hobbies, as well as childhood photos – never names, personal details or adult photos – so your donation remains anonymous.
Step 4
Your profile is added to Cape Fertility’s world-class and secure database of egg donors from which moms-to-be can select their match: some look at physical characteristics that match their own and others look for similar lifestyle choices and interests. Cape Fertility facilitates more egg donor matches than any other clinic in South Africa. We have many local and international recipients every month who require an egg donor.
Step 5
We will arrange for you to attend a 2-hour appointment, during which you will meet one of our fertility specialists and our psychologist. We will explain the full egg donation procedure to you and you will be able to ask any questions and to discuss any concerns you have.
During your appointment, you will also have a detailed medical examination, including routine investigations and a psychological assessment.
