Why is Having a Normal BMI Important?

January 4, 2012 in egg donor blog by Kate

Why do all egg donors have to be in normal BMI?  Even if you are not is there a way for you to donate?

I think it’s reasonable for donors to be within the normal BMI range.  Like any other set of conditions for an unpredictable process:  Whatever data points can be standardized, or whatever risk can be avoided or mitigated, every attempt should be made to do so.  It would be like buying a dented can at the grocery store; everything inside is probably just fine,  but why risk what you can’t see if there is a clear way you can avoid the risk?
