Our experienced team of caring professionals helps singles or couples in Chicago, Rockford, Belleville, Dekalb, and other Illinois cities.

Finding an Egg Donor in Illinois

Finding an egg donor in Illinois is simpler than you may have anticipated when you work with Fertility Source Companies. Find out how we match donors with IPs and what to look for when finding a donor that’s right for you.

Choosing an Egg Donor in Illinois

Fertility Source Companies has one of the largest egg donor databases in the country. IPs start their family planning journey by searching our database to find suitable candidates. Our database is filtered based on physical characteristics, health, personality traits, geographic location, and other factors. We help you create a list of priorities that are most important to you and your partner, guiding you through each step of selecting an egg donor.

Egg Donor Costs & Fees in Illinois

The cost of egg donation varies depending on the geographic location of egg donation centers and other factors (e.g., the specific services you choose). There's an initial agency fee of $8,500. The donor must also be compensated; the donor fee is approximately $8,000, but this fee may vary from one donor to another. Additional egg donor fees can range from between $1,000 and $9,000, depending on other expenses such as travel and out-of-pocket costs. Furthermore, a retainer for legal consultation is required and is paid directly to the attorney. Optional genetic testing represents an additional egg donor fee.

How Egg Donors Are Screened in Illinois

Thoroughly screening each of our donors is one way we ensure that only qualified individuals get entered into our egg donor database. We do an initial screening assessment to ensure donors meet each of our requirements; including a personality profile and lifestyle assessment. In addition, several detailed screenings are conducted, including:

  • A psychological evaluation
  • An analysis of the level of donor commitment 
  • A thorough health evaluation (including a fertility test)
  • A blood test (to detect any unknown physical, sexually transmitted, or genetic disorders, and to determine if drugs have been used)
  • A criminal background check

The Egg Donation Process in Illinois

During the egg donation process, you will self-inject hormonal medication to stimulate the development of multiple eggs in one ovulation cycle. Next, an ultrasound probe (i.e., a device that uses soundwaves to create images) is used to aspirate the eggs from the ovaries for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). During the process, you will be sedated to ensure there is no pain.

Egg Donor Pay & Compensation in Illinois

Fertility Source Companies ensures that you are fully compensated for your time, dedication, and out-of-pocket expenses during your invaluable role in giving others the possibility of becoming parents. In general, first-time egg donors are paid between $5,500 and $8,000 based on their location. Repeat egg donor pay is typically an additional $500-$1,000.
