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 Germany where a woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive. The donor undergoes hormone stimulation to produce multiple mature eggs, which are then extracted and fertilized with the recipient's partner's sperm or donated sperm.
Germany has strict regulations for egg donation, ensuring anonymity for both donors and recipients. Donors are compensated for their time and expenses. The average waiting time is around 2-3 months.
