Firstly, we at Aspire San Antonio want to commend you for your generous spirit and interest in egg donation. Becoming an egg donor is a hugely rewarding experience that helps many aspiring parents achieve their family-building goals, while also giving egg donors the means to achieve their own through compensation.

The first step towards becoming an egg donor with Aspire San Antonio is to review the requirements and fill out an online application. We will review your application and schedule a phone interview to get a better sense of who you are. Once qualified candidates have completed the application and interview, we will schedule you to begin the screening process, which involves bloodwork, vaginal ultrasound, genetic testing, infectious disease screening, a physical exam, and psychological evaluation.

With about 50% of infertility cases being at least partially attributed to male infertility, the needs of male fertility patients have become increasingly visible in recent years. Just like with women, many factors can cause infertility in men, some of which include structural abnormalities of the reproductive system, sperm production disorders, varicoceles, ejaculatory dysfunctions, and immunologic disorders. At Aspire San Antonio, we work closely with urologists who specialize in male fertility to help diagnose and treat any issues. In some cases, fertility treatments such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI, may be recommended.
