Egg Donor Compensation

  • Between 21 and 31 years old (you can donate up to age 34)

The Egg Donor Journey: What to Expect

Step 1 | Complete Our Online Application

The first step is to fill out a short online application that takes about 3-5 minutes to complete. If approved, you’ll be prompted to fill out a more extensive questionnaire about your medical history, family medical history, personality, hobbies, and interests. This part of the application also includes submitting photographs. This is your opportunity to share what makes you unique with us and prospective intended parents.

Step 2 | Phone Interview and Medical Screening Process

Upon completion of the online application, a member of our team will contact you directly to conduct an initial phone interview so we can get to know you a little better. All qualified candidates are then scheduled to initiate the medical screening process, which includes a physical exam, bloodwork, ovarian reserve assessment, vaginal ultrasound, genetic testing, screening for infectious diseases, and psychological evaluation. Candidates who pass all screenings are added to the egg donor database.

Step 3 | Ovarian Stimulation

Once you become an approved egg donor in our program, our team will schedule you for ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. Ovarian stimulation takes approximately two weeks and involves administering self-injected fertility medications to trigger your ovaries into producing multiple eggs. During this time, you’ll visit our office regularly so that we can monitor your ovaries and egg development.

Step 4 | The Egg Retrieval Procedure

Once your eggs are ready, we will schedule your egg retrieval procedure. Performed under light sedation as an outpatient procedure, egg retrieval is minimally invasive and only takes about 20 minutes to complete.
