Making Extra Income
Young women in their 20s strapped for money now have an option to make a load of cash in a short amount of time. Egg donation has quickly become a way for college-aged women who are financially strapped to earn an extra income without getting a traditional second job. Egg donation has young women undergo treatment to produce eggs to donate to an infertile couple hoping to conceive. This type of treatment can pay well, ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 per donation.
An ideal egg donor is aged twenty-one, but younger than thirty years old. Egg donors should be in good health and have a healthy family medical history. Egg donors are more desireable and can earn more if they have successfully donated before, have higher education (such as a bachelor’s or master’s degree), are attractive, have high IQ scores or SAT scores, and have skills in music or sports. In particular demand are donors with ethnic backgrounds, such as Asian, Inidan, or Jewish descent.
Couples typically choose a donor that has characteristics similar to their own. After being chosen by a couple, egg donors can complete a donation cycle in about 2 to four months, depending on the infertility clinic. After successful retrieval of the eggs, donors rest for one or two days and are completely back to normal in about two weeks.
