Help build a family with a gift only you can give.
If you're interested in egg donation, RMA of Michigan offers a guided, patient-centered process with clear explanations and compassionate support at every step. Donors play a meaningful role in helping individuals and families grow.
A personal decision with a lasting impact
Egg donation gives people who are unable to conceive with their own eggs a path toward parenthood. For many intended parents using donor eggs — including individuals and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples across diverse family structures — a donor's contribution is what makes building a family possible.
At RMA of Michigan, our egg donor program is offered through EggCelle, our dedicated egg donor partner. The program is built around respect for your time, your privacy, and your well-being. We provide clear explanations of each phase, answer your questions openly, and make sure you feel informed and supported before, during, and after the process.
Donation is voluntary and personal. There's no obligation to continue at any point, and our team is here to help you understand what's involved so you can make a decision that's right for you.
General eligibility considerations
These are common factors reviewed during the screening process. Our team will walk you through the full evaluation and explain anything that needs clarification.
Age range
Donors are typically between 21 and 31 years of age. This range is associated with the screening criteria many programs follow.
General health
A non-smoking lifestyle and good overall health support eligibility. A complete medical evaluation is part of the screening.
Health history
A review of personal and family medical history helps the care team provide clear guidance throughout the process.
Cycle regularity
Regular menstrual cycles are one of several factors considered. The team will discuss what this means for your evaluation.
