Clinical Trials and Egg Donation

Become an Egg Donor

When you become an egg donor, you give a couple the opportunity to experience pregnancy, childbirth and most importantly, the chance to build a family. To be considered as an egg donor:

  • You must be a healthy female.
  • You must have normal ovarian function and not indication of impaired fertility.
  • You must be between the ages of 21 and 30.

If you are interested in becoming an egg donor, a confidential inquiry can be made by calling (215) 615-4218 or log on to our online donor form.


Do you have PCOS and want to have a baby?

You may be eligible to participate in a research study.

The National Institutes of Health is sponsoring a large research trial at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to determine which of three treatment options is most likely to result in pregnancy for women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

You May Be Eligible To Participate If You:

  • Are between 18 and 40 years old and seeking pregnancy.
  • Have periods more than 45 days apart, or fewer than eight periods a year.
  • Have a Body Mass Index between 27 and 40.

Participation includes physical exams, study related medications, lifestyle intervention and dietary counseling. Interested candidates can contact Karen Lecks, CRNP, at 215-349-5201. Penn has numerous active clinical trial programs.
