Can you be an egg donor if you've have a vaginal hysterectomy?
I have both of my ovaries still.... but want to help those that need it the most :)
Answers:
Yes depending upon your age and the rationale of hysterectomy (removal of uterus). If you are below 40 and the cause of hysterectomy is not cancer, you may be a possible candidate for egg donation.
Hysterectomy is a procedure in which the uterus is surgically removed NOT ovaries or fallopian tubes (some one may be confused).
Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes is call bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).
Hysterectomy may be done by abdominal way (complicated and old style – possibility to removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes. No possibility of egg production and donation) OR by vaginal way (easy and modern technique – no/least possibility to removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes. Possibility of egg production and donation).

It only just depends. By the sounds of it you have had a partial hysterectomy and not a complete one, since you still have both of your ovaries. So that finances that you can possibly still have eggs in your follicles. It will depend on your age. Women are start out with the total number of eggs that they are going to enjoy, so the older you become, the less eggs you will have vanished.
I would suggest speaking with a doctor who specializes in IVF therapy. They would most feasible want to order up some blood work on you before they could let you know the likelihood of you being a candidate for egg donation. Such tests would be a FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) stratum as well as a other hormone levels.
It will also depend very much on your medical history, your line history, the condition of your eggs as well as your current overall health. Source(s): Phd Toxicology
