To be an egg donor, you should be between 21 and 34 years old, have a healthy body mass index (BMI), and avoid using drugs and tobacco. You must also be free from sexually transmitted diseases for the past 12 months, according to ASRM and FDA guidelines.

Egg donor compensation varies based on your state and the agency you are matched with. Typically, egg donors can expect compensation ranging from $7,000 to $10,000 for their first egg donation.

We’re excited to share that many of our donors have gone on to have children after their donation cycles! There are no studies that show you're unable to have kids after egg donation.

We are only able to work with agencies in the U.S. We hope to expand outside of the U.S. soon and until then would love to stay connected. We value everyone and love having you as a part of our growing community!

You will not need to provide your insurance throughout the donation process. All medical costs will be covered by the agency and insurance will be provided for you.

Definitely not! You won't be responsible for travel expenses. All travel-related costs are covered by the agency or the family you are matched with and are only required if the agency is not local to you.

No, compensation is received each time you donate your eggs, and the quantity of eggs retrieved does not affect your compensation.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For interested egg donors, it’s good to keep in mind that pictures offer subtle messages. A good picture will entice aspiring parents to spend more time on your profile, to understand more about you. Share current photos that capture you performing your favorite activity, accomplishing milestones such as a graduation, or some with family. Keep in mind these are meant for aspiring parents on their family-building journey so keep them clean, clear, happy, and fun!

How many times will I need to travel? Depending on the agency you match with, the time off required for the medical screening appointment may vary. Typically, you can expect to allocate one to two days for this initial appointment, if necessary. Following this, you'll need to set aside 7-8 days for travel to the clinic location. During this period, you'll stay in a nearby hotel for several days of monitoring, egg retrieval, and then a day of rest. Note, this is only if the clinic is not local to you.

No, you will be selflessly helping a family by being their egg donor. This means they will use the eggs you donate and work with their fertility specialist to create a lovely little embryo. This embryo will then be carried by the mother or a surrogate who will deliver the child they create.

Congrats on your delivery, we hope it was a wonderful experience! You can start your journey as an egg donor six months post-delivery. If you are breastfeeding you can begin your journey six months after you have finished breastfeeding. Though this means you cannot begin right away you can still apply today. Please disclose in your application or let someone on our care team know you will need time to complete your delivery or breastfeeding journey.

The recovery from egg donation varies from person to person, but generally, it involves a short rest period. After the egg retrieval procedure, some donors have shared feedback that they’ve experienced light discomfort, bloating, or mild pelvic pain which typically subsided within a few days to a week.

Wow, thank you so much for your interest in donating again! We truly appreciate your willingness to help others and we’re glad to know you had a great experience. Egg donation is limited to six stimulation cycles per individual. This limitation is in place to ensure compliance with American Society for Reproductive Medicine regulations and the safety and well-being of all donor candidates.
