Why did you become an egg donor?
Shelby shares her reasons for donating her eggs.
“The decision came quite naturally to me. I was working at a clinic at the time and witnessing intended parents experiencing pregnancy because they had access to donor egg IVF treatment.
For me, a donation was a way to give back to a community that I cared deeply about and worked closely with.”

How does egg donation day feel?
Procedures aside, egg donation day is an incredible milestone for you as a donor.
“This is an awesome day for egg donors. You wake up from that procedure and oftentimes the physician will tell you how many eggs were retrieved.
It provides you a sense of fulfillment knowing that you put this much effort into a cycle and this is how many eggs your recipient will get to try to build their family.”
How can egg donation help you achieve your goals?
Shelby knows the benefits of egg donation firsthand.
“The main thing is the sense of fulfillment, and being able to give to your community and help someone achieve their dreams of parenthood – that feeling never goes away. I still think about my recipients every single day.
There’s also a monetary benefit. Whether you want to pay off college, settle into a home or travel the world, it’s a really good way to start all of those bucket list items.”
