How to Donate Eggs to Infertile Couples
A woman gives one of the greatest gifts a parent could ever know when she decides to donate eggs to infertile couples. With fertility clinics paying tens of thousands of dollars per egg retrieval, egg donation can be quite lucrative for donors as well. But before delving into the egg-donation process, it is important to understand how egg donation happens to help determine whether it is for you.
Calendar Method to Determine Fertile Days
Whether for religious reasons or a desire for a natural form of birth control, many couples use the rhythm method. If they are trying to avoid pregnancy, they will abstain from sexual intercourse during a woman’s fertile time. Before a couple can effectively use this method, however, they must understand the woman’s cycle in order to determine when she typically ovulates. This can be done with a calendar and some simple calculations.
What is Considered Infertile?

Infertility can be caused from a single factor, multiple issues in the man or woman or a combination of issues between both partners.

This is an ideal solution for anyone who must go through a treatment that can harm sperm production or ejaculation. Some sperm banks will even pay you for your specimen if you allow single women or infertile couples to use your sperm to conceive.
