Egg Donation FAQs for Intended Parents

For what reasons should IPs work with an egg donor agency, instead of distributing “Egg Donor Wanted” ads?

While some intended parents may opt to put out an “Egg Donor Wanted” ad on social media, this approach won’t allow them to properly screen candidates, specifically those with viable eggs. However, by working with an established egg donor agency, such as Fertility Source Companies, you’ll know that all candidates have passed comprehensive physical and mental screening tests. They’ll also have demonstrated their ability to effectively complete the egg donor process.

How do IPs go about choosing egg donors?

While intended parents (IPs) may have varying needs, typically, the egg donor selection process is based on certain factors. Among these are a potential candidate’s medical/hereditary history, physical characteristics, and personality traits.

How much does working with an egg donor cost?

In most cases, you should expect to pay a total of about $16,500 for egg donor fees and costs. This amount does not cover additional out-of-pocket expenses, such as donor travel fees and the cycle medications necessary for in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The Egg Donation Process

The egg donation process involves several steps. Among these are:

  • Taking hormonal medication, self-injected once a day, to stimulate the development of multiple eggs in one ovulation cycle
  • Blood is taken and ultrasound tests are performed to ensure the eggs’ maturation before being retrieved
  • With the egg retrieval process, an outpatient procedure, both an ultrasound probe and thin needle are administered, to gently remove eggs from the ovarian follicles
  • During egg retrieval, you’ll be sedated to prevent any pain, remaining semi-conscious for about 30 minutes.

Egg Donor FAQs

How many egg donation processes can I complete?

Egg donors are permitted to donate their eggs a total of six times throughout their entire lifetime. This limit was established by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

During the egg donation process, am I allowed to continue working?

Yes, egg donors can and typically do continue working or attending school throughout most of the donation process steps. You should know that for the egg retrieval procedure, you’ll have to take one or two days off.

Are any risks or side effects likely with the egg donation procedure?

As with any type of medication or procedure, egg donation may result in a few side effects. The process requires you to self-administer hormone injections, and while serious risks are rare, you may have swelling, moodiness, breast tenderness, and abdominal cramps. Prior to donating your eggs, you can expect to discuss any risks with a healthcare provider.
