Currently, Gift ov life partners with esteemed fertility clinics in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, and Port Elizabeth. This means that if you’re chosen to donate, you may need to travel to one of these locations.
The process for traveling donors begins with indicating your willingness to donate in different cities. Gift ov life will then contact you if a recipient requires a donor in another location. If chosen, you’ll undergo screening appointments in the host city. Travel expenses for these appointments are covered. If screenings can occur near your hometown, you’ll avoid the need for a day trip.
Approximately two months later, you’ll return to the host city for five to ten days for the donation procedure. Gift ov life manages all travel arrangements and provides a daily allowance to cover expenses during your stay.
In South Africa, egg donation operates on an altruistic basis due to legal restrictions. Donors receive compensation for their time and effort but cannot be paid for their donation. Extensive medical and psychological screening is mandatory for all donors, ensuring their well-being and the health of potential offspring. These costs are covered by the clinic.
Recognizing the physical and emotional demands of the process, Gift ov life nurtures and offers comprehensive support to donors throughout their journey. Maintaining self-care practices is encouraged to ensure well-being before and after donation.
Becoming an egg donor is a profound act of generosity, offering hope to individuals and couples facing infertility. Gift ov life is dedicated to facilitating this journey, providing guidance from application to retrieval. If you have questions or concerns, our experienced team is always available to assist you.
Egg donation is a remarkable choice, and we’re privileged to be part of your experience. If you require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Let’s nurture the hopes of those in need together
