Costs

The first question many women have when researching egg donation is what the compensation will be. The compensation depends on several different factors. For example, are you going to be a private egg donor, or are you going to go through an agency? As a private donor, you may not even request payment because you may be doing it for a friend or family member. While working with an agency, the agency will outline its compensation package and consideration. Still, egg donors receive compensation for their adherence to doctor’s protocols by the amount you request. Still, there’s an even greater opportunity for compensation, and that is the emotional and spiritual satisfaction you will receive by becoming the answer to a hopeful family’s prayers.

The egg donor does not have any financial risk or burden from the process. The expectant parents will pay for all necessary medical procedures, including travel if that’s necessary. Fortunately, many local clinics and hospitals can do the collection procedure, and travel may not be required.

It is not common for the donor to not have any involvement with the expectant parents unless the donor is involved in a private donation situation. When a donor goes through an agency, the entire process is anonymous. The agency will be responsible for conducting the screening procedure to ensure the donor meets all the requirements. Then the agency will anonymously provide the necessary information to the expectant parents to select the characteristics they are seeking. Once the eggs have been collected and donated, the egg donor has no further involvement. Typically, the process includes signing a legal waiver that stipulates all legal rights to the offspring are waived.

A major question many egg donors have is how the procedure will impact future fertility. There is no evidence that this process will have an impact on future fertility. During the process, you will experience an increase in fertility – that is, more eggs will be released. You may want to keep that in mind when considering your own family planning, especially since you cannot continue hormonal birth control once you are selected to be a donor. The process of collecting the eggs has begun.
