It’s not about the money.
95% of egg donors in South Africa say they donated because they wanted to help someone become a parent.
Most donors are employed, educated women, many of whom have donated blood or registered as organ donors.
They do it because they can.
Because they care.
Because they know what this gift can mean. 🌱
Yes, donors are compensated, but that is not the reason they do it.
If you are someone who wants to make a real impact, your egg could be the beginning of someone’s long-awaited future. ✨
This women’s month, we are spotlighting donors who give with heart.

A quiet act of generosity with a lifelong impact. 🌱
Egg donation gives hopeful parents a real chance at building a family, especially when using their own eggs isn’t possible.
But here’s something many people don’t know:
Donating your eggs doesn’t affect your own fertility.
Women are born with thousands of egg cells, but only 300 to 500 will ever mature in a lifetime (Rogel Cancer Center, 2025). The donation process only retrieves a few eggs, all of which your body naturally produced and would have discarded anyway. 🥚
It’s not about giving something up, it’s about giving someone else a way forward. ✨

Infertility is a scary word — but you’re not alone. 💙
June is World Infertility Awareness Month, and at EDSA, we’re opening up the conversation around female infertility and the incredible role that egg donation plays in helping families grow.
So, what is infertility?
Infertility is a reproductive condition where couples cannot conceive while actively trying for more than a year. It affects 1 in 6 people, and it doesn’t just affect women it impacts men and women equally, where 50% of infertility cases are as a result of male infertility and 50% of female infertility (World Health Organization; 2023).
Even with that balance, women often carry the emotional and social weight of infertility on their own.
What causes female infertility?
There isn’t a simple answer, as it varies for everyone. Some common causes include:
🧬Age, genetics, hormone imbalances, and lifestyle factors
💊Certain medications or health conditions
❓And sometimes, there is no clear answer at all
When should you seek infertility assistance?
If you have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, it’s worth speaking to a professional. Even for healthy couples aged 29-33, there is only a 20-25% chance of conceiving per month, this increases to 60% over 6 months (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024).
How is female infertility treated?
Here’s the hopeful part —around 85–90% can be treated with medication or simple procedures. Fewer than 3% of cases require IVF or more advanced support.
✨1 in 7 babies today are born through fertility treatments.
✨Around 44% of women with infertility seek medical help, and 65% go on to give birth.
✨Using donor eggs leads to the highest chances of pregnancy and live birth. Success rates for IVF with donor eggs typically range from 65% to 78%.
(The Journal of the American Medical Association, 2021)
Let’s stop whispering about infertility and start talking.
Egg donation is a powerful, generous act - and it brings real hope to families,
If you are navigating infertility or wondering about becoming a donor, EDSA is here to support you every step of the way.

❌ MYTH: “Donating eggs will deplete my egg supply and affect my fertility. 😥”
Don’t worry just yet! Let’s bust this egg donation myth together. Donating eggs will not deplete your fertility or egg supply — and here’s why 👇
✅ FACT: Women are born with thousands of egg cells, but only 300 to 500 will ever mature in a lifetime.
✅ FACT: Each month, around 15–20 follicles start developing, but usually only one egg is ovulated — the rest are naturally reabsorbed back into the body.
✅ FACT: During egg donation, you will be given medication to help more eggs mature at once — usually 10 to 20 — all of which your body naturally produced anyway. These are the eggs that will be used for donation. 🥚
So no, donating your eggs won’t affect your overall egg reserve or impact future fertility at all. Your body keeps doing its thing like the queen it is 👑💪
