For many Indian egg donors, the first cycle is an introduction to the process. After completing it successfully, donors often choose to donate again. Repeat donation is common and allows donors to maximize their impact, grow their compensation, and use their experience to feel more confident throughout the journey.
This blog explains what repeat donation involves, how often donors can safely participate, and the emotional and financial rewards that come with experience.
Why Repeat Donation is Common
- Comfort with the process: Once donors understand injections, monitoring, and retrieval, they often feel more at ease repeating it.
- High demand: Indian donors are in short supply, so agencies frequently ask experienced donors to return.
- Compensation growth: Repeat cycles often offer higher pay.
How Many Times Can You Donate?
- Most medical guidelines allow up to 6 donations in a lifetime.
- Each cycle must be spaced out (usually 3 months between retrievals) to protect donor health.
- Fertility clinics track donations carefully to ensure safety.
Benefits of Being a Repeat Donor
Higher Compensation :
- Many agencies increase pay with each cycle.
- Experienced Indian donors may earn $10,000–$15,000 or more per cycle.
Confidence & Familiarity :
- Donors know what to expect — fewer nerves, smoother coordination.
Greater Impact:
- Repeat donors help multiple families, sometimes creating connections across states or countries.
Emotional Rewards
Donors often feel pride knowing they have helped several families. Some describe it as a life mission or an ongoing act of generosity.
Case Study – Anjali’s Repeat Journey
Anjali, a 28-year-old Indian donor, completed four donation cycles over five years. She described her journey as ‘life-changing,’ noting that her compensation allowed her to pay for graduate school while also giving families the gift of children.
Risks & Safety of Repeat Donation
- Clinics monitor egg reserves to ensure donors don’t over-stimulate their ovaries.
- Donors must pass medical and psychological evaluations each time.
- Risks remain low, but Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a concern, especially for repeat donors.
