When a woman undergoes a portion of the IVF procedure in order to have some of her eggs retrieved, she can subsequently donate those eggs to help someone else with their treatment, research, or training. Women frequently donate their eggs to someone they know, like family members who might not be able to use their own eggs. Others give because it makes them happy to be able to assist a stranger in becoming a mother to a much-needed child. Some IVF patients opt to become egg sharers, donating some of their eggs to another patient in exchange for free or heavily subsidised IVF.

Egg donation is a fertility treatment in Austria where a woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive. The donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and her eggs are then collected for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Donors are usually compensated around €3,000-€5,000 per cycle. Strict regulations ensure anonymity and ethical standards.
