Oocyte donation is a technique in full expansion in the field of human reproduction. The main problem with this technique is the shortage of oocytes. In our programme, prospective donors are selected from anonymous, well-informed university students over 18 years of age, who give their informed consent in writing. Before being accepted as donors, the candidates' personal and family medical histories were taken and they were given a gynaecological examination, genital ultrasonography, and analysed for syphilis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis B and C, coagulation factor VIII, fetal haemoglobin and karyotype. The donors received economic compensation of about 750 euros. Over the last 6 years, 554 medical histories have been taken. Fifty-eight candidates (10.5%) were rejected because of previous family or personal pathologies. Only 243 out of 496 (49%) continued the study. Sixteen candidates (7%) were rejected as a result of gynaecological problems and ultrasonographic results; and 12 (4.9%) as a result of their blood test results; 215 donors were accepted (38.8% of the original population). Other options for recruiting oocyte donors are commented on and we argue that the methodology described here is the most suitable one.
