I'm looking for American Society for Reproductive Medicine guidelines; can a donor at an agency donate more than 6 times? Is it federally regulated, or enforced, or just a guideline?

Ive heard it's said they are not allowed to donate more than 6 times in the USA in their lifetime.

I am going thru an issue in which I was almost going to pay a donor $31,500 USD for her donor fee and she was 33, I would have been the recipient of her EIGHTH donation, 7 of which she was with the same agency who was really pushing her as the best. I believe this to be very unethical!

Thank you!

Hi Sophia,

This is a Canadian website and while we have a few members who are US based you'll find the content predominately Canadian. I'd suggest you reach out directly to ASRM for accurate information.

It was long, awful & hard. We got very lucky and didn't run out of both emotional and financial resources. We saw some of the most beautiful of people in our lowest moments. Baby Girl arrived Apr 10/2018

I am a Canadian donor myself and am apart of many online support groups of donors only and this question comes up a lot due to having many Americans in the group. The 6 max guideline has recently been removed (in the last 2-4 yrs) and now a donor is allowed to donate as many times as they see fit. Some agencies wont allow a donor to donate after x amount of times but, many do not care. You can search the ASRM's website I know I went and looked for the change myself and found it awhile ago since I am researching donating in the US.
