Egg Donation in New York

In New York state, the New York Court of Appeals has ruled that an egg donor is not the legal mother of a child. It has also ruled in favor of the mother – who carried a donor egg to term and subsequently assumed parental rights – in the event of a divorce custody battle case. While there is no formal egg donor statue in New York, legal precedent supports the intended parents’ rights as legal parents of a child resulting from a donor egg; and an intended mother’s legal parental rights to a child resulting from the in vitro fertilization of an embryo made from a donor egg and her husband’s sperm.

The lack of laws addressing assisted and artificial reproduction in New York means participants are encouraged to work with fertility attorneys who can execute contracts to delineate and protect donor and parental rights.

Egg donation is typically not a painful experience, and the side effects are generally mild. Egg retrieval happens while the donor is under sedation, minimizing discomfort during this medical procedure. After harvesting occurs, some donors may experience bleeding, bloating or soreness - though these symptoms are short-term and generally minimal.

Egg donation success rates are the highest of any fertility treatment, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: with 55.6% of transfers of fresh donor eggs resulting in live births across the United States – and often as high as 75% at top clinics.

The expected cost for an egg donor cycle in New York ranges from $14,150 to a high of $27,650. This includes the agency fee, donor psychological evaluation, donor attorney consultation, donor insurance, escrow management fee, donor compensation, and estimated donor expenses. The cost of IVF is an additional amount that is charged by your fertility physician’s office.

The compensation for egg donors in New York ranges from $8,000 to $10,000. First-time egg donors begin at $8,000 and repeat donors can earn $10,000, depending on the number of donations completed.
