Egg Donation FAQs for Intended Parents

Why would IPs prefer to work with an egg donor agency, rather than posting “Egg Donor Wanted” ads and other notices?

By posting “Egg Donor Wanted” messaging, not only are you unable to conduct vital candidate screenings, but most likely, you won’t locate candidates with viable eggs. However, by collaborating with a professional egg donor agency, like Fertility Source Companies, you gain the security of knowing that any candidate of interest has passed thorough physical and mental screening processes, ensuring they are motivated and ready to complete the entire egg donor process.

What does the egg donor selection process entail?

While different IPs may have their own criteria, an egg donor’s selection is usually based on specific factors. These include the potential candidate’s medical/hereditary history, personality traits, and physical characteristics.

How much should I expect to pay when working with an egg donor?

Typically, you should plan on paying around $16,500, which includes the egg donor fees and agency costs. In addition, this amount does not cover other out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel fees and cycle medications.

The Egg Donation Process

There are multiple parts in the actual process of egg donation. Among them are the following:

  • You self-inject hormonal medication, typically once a day, for about 12 days, to stimulate the development of multiple eggs in a single ovulation cycle.
  • Blood and ultrasound tests are conducted to ensure the maturation of the eggs before their retrieval.
  • For the egg retrieval process, a thin needle guided by an ultrasound gently removes eggs from the ovarian follicles.
  • To ensure there is no pain during the egg retrieval process, you’ll be sedated, remaining semi-conscious for about 30 minutes.

Egg Donor FAQs

 Can I donate my eggs multiple times?

As per the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), throughout their lifetimes, egg donors may donate their eggs six times.

Am I allowed to continue working as I progress through the egg donation process? 

Yes, the majority of donors can continue working or attending school during most of the process steps. However, you will need to take one or two days off for the egg retrieval procedure.

Does the egg donation procedure have any risks or side effects?

With egg donation, like any type of medication or procedure, you may experience a few side effects. You’ll have to take hormone injections, which may result in breast tenderness, moodiness, abdominal cramps, and swelling, although serious risks are rare. Before you decide to donate your eggs, a healthcare provider will review the procedure’s risks with you.
