Those who choose to become egg donors in Portland, Eugene, Salem, Hillsboro, or elsewhere in Oregon have a chance to help a couple or individual have the family that they dream of. Aside from the satisfaction of knowing you’ve given the most precious gift to a family that would otherwise be unable to have a baby, egg donors receive many additional benefits.
Egg Donor Pay & Compensation in Oregon
Base Pay for First-Time Egg Donors is $8,000+
At Fertility Source Companies, our egg donors are generously compensated for their dedication, time, and any expenses incurred as they give the gift of a baby to those struggling to have a family. First-time egg donors receive a base payment that varies according to various factors, such as location. The average compensation starts at $8,000. There is an increase of an extra $500 to $1,000 for repeat donors.
The egg donation process involves many steps, including:
Application and screening: Complete an application and medical screening to confirm eligibility and learn more about the process.
Cycle preparation and monitoring: Hormonal medications are given via self-injections during an ovulation cycle to induce multiple egg development.
Egg retrieval procedure: A fertility specialist uses ultrasound imaging to guide a small aspirating needle to the ovaries and perform a gentle suction process to remove eggs from the ovarian follicle.
According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), egg donors may donate their eggs six times in their lifetime.
Yes, most donors can continue working or attending school during most of the steps involved in the process, but will need to take a day or two off for the egg retrieval procedure.
As with any type of medication or procedure, there is always the possibility of experiencing some side effects from the hormone injections, such as breast tenderness, moodiness, abdominal cramps, and swelling. Serious risks are rare; a healthcare provider will review the risks with you before you decide to donate your eggs.

Egg Donor Screening Process
At Fertility Source Companies, each of our potential new donors undergoes several types of screening exams and background checks, including:
A complete physical exam
A lifestyle assessment
A mental health screening
A criminal background check
Genetic testing (to ensure there are no detected disorders that could be passed to the baby)
A personality profile
An evaluation of the donor’s commitment level (to ensure completion of the egg donation process from beginning to end)
A blood test to screen for drug use or certain health disorders
Egg donation laws in Oregon are generally favorable for both donors and intended parents. Under state law, when a child is conceived through assisted reproduction, the intended parent or parents are recognized as the legal parents. The egg donor does not retain any parental rights or responsibilities related to the child. Because Oregon does not have an extensive statutory framework specific to egg donation, the process is typically supported by clear legal agreements that outline expectations, compensation, and roles for all parties involved.
Common Questions About Finding an Egg Donor
Running an “Egg Donor Wanted” ad will risk matching with a donor that does not pass screening at the fertility clinic. When you use a professional egg donor agency, such as Fertility Source Companies, you can rest assured that every candidate you consider has been thoroughly physically and mentally screened to ensure they are ready and able to complete the egg donor process.
Intended parents often select an egg donor based on the donor candidate’s medical/hereditary history, personality traits, and physical characteristics.
The egg donor fees and costs are around $19,000, plus other out-of-pocket costs, like travel fees, cycle medications, and other expenses.
