Why Become an Egg Donor?
Before we answer and tell you about all of the benefits of becoming an Egg Donor, it is important to understand who the people that you would be helping are and why they need your eggs. We call the people that need your help “Intended Parents” because the intent is that they will be the parents. Our agency works with all types of Intendent Parents: heterosexual and same sex couples, single individuals or any person struggling with the hurdle of infertility.


Why Intended Parents Might Need Your Help
- They are a single male or male gay couple that wishes to be a parent or parents
- They do not have ovaries due to a medical condition or they were born without them
- They do not have functioning ovaries and require eggs from another person
- Their eggs are past the age of a healthy conception
- Their egg quality is poor due to medications or other medical complications
- They are unable to conceive on their own for unknown reasons
- They do not wish to pass on certain genetics
Benefits of Becoming an Egg Donor
Most of our Egg Donors tell us that the experience of donating eggs is a life-changing experience. Egg Donors quickly understand the impact and the role that they play. It is a selfless act with results that sometimes are hard for them to describe, and that's why they come back for repeat cycles.
Most have such a great experience they even refer a friend to our program.
When you get matched with your Intended Parents (IP), Egg Donors will first, go through a physical, genetic and psychological screening. This is a great opportunity to learn about your own reproductive health and any hereditary genetic traits that you might be a carrier of (don’t worry everyone can be a carrier of something).
FYI, donating your eggs will not have a negative impact on your own future fertility.
During the legal phase you are assigned your own Attorney (paid for by the Intended Parents) to represent you.
They will help you understand your responsibilities and rights outlined in the contract.
Your lawyer will also ensure that the contract states that the Intended Parents are also being held accountable for their responsibilities, including medical and financial obligations -- so you can donate your eggs without any fear of future custody or financial issues.
Once you’re matched, it just takes a few short months for you to complete your egg donation cycle and receive your Egg Donor compensation.
Depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, you can start your application right now, and when you are selected, we work to accommodate your availability.

Qualities Egg Donors Share
Well, we are so glad that you asked! The obvious reason people think women donate their eggs is for compensation. No one is knocking that. The financial earnings aren’t the only reason, though. Interestingly, there are actually some beautiful qualities that the women who donate their eggs share. Here are a few of them:
Kindness
Before someone becomes an Egg Donor, they’ve usually heard some buzz about it – maybe they have a friend that did it, saw an ad, or even had someone in their lives that went through infertility.
Most Egg Donors have told us that a big part of why they became an Egg Donor was their empathy for people needing help to make their families.
Honor
There are all sorts of people that might need the help of an Egg Donor:
- People that have struggled with fertility issues, sometimes for years.
- Women that are born without ovaries or have had cancer that affected their reproductive capabilities.
- Families who don’t have a female in the picture, such as gay or single men.
In fact, for many people, the life-giving process that you are considering could be their only chance to have a child.
In our book, we’d say that’s incredibly honorable!
Empowerment
One great thing about this process is that it educates women about their own bodies. Here are some of the ways:
- There are various tests the fertility doctor will do after you’re matched with your Intended Parents to make sure of your full qualifications. At the same time, you’ll discover more about your health and reproductivity.
- You will learn about your genetics through a counselor and sometimes blood work.
- You will discover your future potential to have kids if you want them.
- After going through this process, you may even decide you want to preserve your fertility and freeze your eggs, since the process is easy, doesn’t hurt, and isn’t scary at all.

Egg Donor Timeline
It is hard to believe, but women are born with about 400,000 eggs. Unlike what you were told in health class in high school, each month not 1, but up to 40+ eggs can be “candidates” to be combined with sperm for a pregnancy.
During a medicated egg donation cycle, anywhere from 10 – 20 eggs (or sometimes more), will be viable for retrieval and fertilization.
Most egg donations take 8 – 12 weeks from the time you are selected until your eggs are retrieved.
Here is what you can expect to happen on your Egg Donor Journey:
First Step: Complimentary Call
First, you set up a call with one of our Egg Donor Coordinators so we can explain the process, answer any questions and provide us with some general information to make sure you are a good candidate.
This is also a great time to discuss your compensation fee. Or you can sign up and start your application now.
Fill Out A Profile
Next, you will fill out a profile so we (and eventually the Intended Parent/s – people who need an Egg Donor) can get to know you better. You can expect to answer some of the following on your profile: height, weight, natural hair and eye color, talents, family health history, education, favorite things.
Send lots of photos and we will figure out which ones will be the best for your final profile. Plus, you can include a short video introduction for Intended Parent/s, aka IPs, introducing yourself. Say “hi” and wish them luck.
TrueMatch™
Once your profile is completed you are ready to be matched.
We will actively reach out to great Intended Parent/s that are looking for someone just like you. Or, you may also be matched if someone sees your profile on our secure online Egg Donor database and just falls in love. It happens all the time.
Meet Your Intended Parents
Intended Parent/s occasionally want to meet with an Egg Donor candidate. We are happy to host this meeting and will set up a mutually convenient time for a video chat if you are open to this. We will also be on the call to help break the ice.
Meet Your Case Manager
Once you are matched, you will have a Case Manager. He or she is an expert in supporting Egg Donors and guiding you through the entire process. They will be your point person and make sure your needs are met.
Your Medical Evaluation
Next, we will assist you in scheduling a medical evaluation with the Intended Parent/s’ fertility doctor (aka the Reproductive Endocrinologist aka RE). This will include cultures, blood work, and ultrasound – it is very similar to your typical gynecological exam. You may need to fly to the Intended Parent/s’ medical clinic, or in some cases, it may be done close to your home – as determined by the doctor.
All medical expenses and travel expenses will be paid for by the Intended Parent/s.
Genetic & Psychological Counselors
You will meet with a genetic counselor to evaluate any family history that could be a concern.
You will also have a short session with a psychologist who will help you understand the aspects of your donation from a professional perspective. The therapist will be someone who regularly talks with Egg Donors and is knowledgeable about the process.
Your Intended Parent/s will pay for both professional services.
Your Lawyer
Once cleared by the doctor, geneticist, and psychologist, you are referred to a lawyer specializing in third-party reproductive law.
This lawyer specifically represents you and will review the contract between you and your Intended Parent/s. Once everyone signs the contract, you’ll be ready to start the medications.
You attorney fees are paid for by the Intended Parent/s.
Medication
In order to retrieve your eggs, you will be prescribed medications. In most cases, if you are not already on birth control pills, you will start them, so it is easier for the doctor to determine when to start the egg stimulating medications.
Ultrasounds
To ensure that your body responds to the medications as anticipated, you will have a series of monitoring appointments (typically 4), consisting of ultrasounds and blood work.
The first ultrasound is usually about 5 days after the injectable medications start. Most times, you will be asked to return 2- 3 days later.
Continue Medications
The goal of the medication is for as many follicles (that contain eggs) to grow at a steady pace. Typically, you stay on medication for approximately 12 days. This is not an indicator of success, it is just how your own body responds to the medication. It may sound intimidating to inject yourself with medications but most Egg Donors soon get over their hesitation.
Sometimes a partner or friend can assist or if it is really too hard for you we can arrange for someone nearby to do it – possibly you will go to your local monitoring clinic.
Doctor Evaluation
When the follicles (little sacs that hold the eggs) are close to the size the doctor is looking for, you will fly or drive (depending upon your location) to the Intended Parent/s’ clinic.
Most times you will come approximately 2 – 3 days before the retrieval so the doctor can examine you personally. They will then determine when the egg retrieval will take place.
You will be able to bring a travel companion for the egg retrieval, and all of your travel expenses will be paid for by the Intended Parent/s.
Trigger Shot
You are instructed by the clinic to give yourself one last shot at an exact time the night before the egg retrieval. This is a different medication than what you have taken before and it will trigger your eggs to release the next day. You must do the shot precisely when instructed or the retrieval will not be successful.
Most people set an alarm on their smartphone so they are sure not to miss it.
Egg Retrieval
Most times, there will be between 10 – 20+ mature eggs, and the retrieval process will take approximately a half-hour. You can expect a light sedation since the eggs are taken out through the vaginal canal with a long needle. There will be no incisions or scarring, but possibly some light spotting.
The clinic will release the results of your egg donation and we will let you know how many eggs were retrieved.
Resting
After the retrieval, you and your travel companion will return to your hotel, where you’ll rest overnight or even the next day (most women just stay overnight) and return home.
Receive Your Compensation
As soon as the egg retrieval is confirmed by the clinic, your Case Manager will send your compensation fee. Now is the time to go on that dream vacation, pay down your loan, or whatever you are hoping to do to celebrate this great gift.
Lots of women are so surprised how easy and fulfilling (and profitable) this process is and donate their eggs multiple times

Types Of Egg Donor Appointments
Once you join The Fertility Agency family and you get matched with our amazing Intended Parent/s, here are some things you can anticipate regarding your medical appointments:

Besides seeing the Intended Parent/s’ fertility doctor, you can expect to see a doctor close to where you live that is chosen by us or the clinic. You will most likely have a total of four to seven visits.
Your first medical evaluation will likely be scheduled on the third day of your period. So, please do keep track of when you last had it and mark it in your calendar. If you are on the pill, or have an IUD, please let us know. You do not need to stop the pill or remove your IUD unless instructed.
During this visit, you will be asked about your medical history and have your blood drawn. It will then be tested for STDs, infections and other genetic disorders. You will be given a pap smear, have a transvaginal ultrasound, as well as have your urine tested.
Transvaginal ultrasounds will be performed throughout your journey. This consists of inserting a slim wand into the vagina to produce an image on a screen. From this image, the doctor will count and monitor the growth of your follicles (which contain the eggs). This procedure is painless.
It will be necessary to test your blood at almost all doctor visits to monitor hormone levels. Blood draws don't tend to be done at a separate appointment and are usually done at the same appointment as the transvaginal ultrasounds.
Medications
Here at The Fertility Agency, we will hold your hand through every step of the medication process! It’s probably not as complicated as you think. Below is a list of medications to give you a general idea of what to expect. The fertility clinic will provide more details once you are matched.
Birth Control Pills – To start your egg donation cycle, you can expect to take birth control pills for about 10+ days.
Lupron – Following 10+ days of birth control pills you start Lupron injections via a short-needled syringe. Lupron is a medication that will slow down your egg growth.
Follicle Stimulating Hormones (FSH) – You’ll be required to inject via a short-needled syringe a fertility hormone that will stimulate the growth of the follicles that contain your eggs.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) – This is a medication that is taken 36 hours (or as directed by the doctor) before the egg retrieval. It signals to your body the release of your eggs. This shot will be similar to your other shots.
It may surprise you that in a short time these injections become simple and easy to do. While most women stick themselves in the belly or in the thigh, some prefer a partner or friend to do it for them. We can also arrange for you to go to a local clinic to have it done.
The Fertility Agency's Pledge To You
While you are providing the gift of healthy eggs to another person or couple, we believe it is The Fertility Agency’s responsibility to :
- Nurture, care and protect you.
- Be 100% transparent with what you can expect along this journey.
- Compensate you at a rate equal to or higher than the top Egg Donor agencies.
- Ensure your emotional and physical needs are our top priority, as is your compensation.

FAQs
Even though you were taught in biology class that each month one egg is released, it’s actually more complex than that. Each woman starts her life with a finite number of eggs – usually about 300,000 – 400,000. Each month anywhere from 10 – 40+ start to grow, but only one usually matures and is ovulated – the other 9 – 39 are absorbed back into your body, never to be used again. When you are given fertility medications it allows all 9 – 40+ or so eggs to mature and be harvested and potentially fertilized…although not all may be mature enough to do so. So, you are not using up any more eggs than you would if you were to ovulate naturally.
There are many reasons we have a stellar international reputation among Egg Donors, but if you are asking us, it’s because our heart is in it. But there are a lot of other reasons. Here are a few:
- We Can Relate - Everyone on our staff has been touched by infertility, either by helping others or needing help.
- We Care - Bottom line is, we really care about the entire experience for you - not just how many eggs are retrieved.
- We Are There To Guide Your Journey - We are with you for your entire journey – from our first conversation until you are back home after your egg donation.
- We Encourage You - We will ensure that you feel great about what you did -- with some compensation to show for it, too!
- We Have Experience - Last but not least, Egg Donor agencies come and go, but we’ve been in business helping to create families since 2004. We are here to stay.
Contact with your Intended Parents all depends on everyone's comfort level. On your questionnaire you can specify if you are open to communication. Here are the most common communication options:
Anonymous:
Some Egg Donors and Intended Parents prefer to be anonymous. This means you will have a limited amount of information about each other.
Semi-anonymous:
This is an option where you may meet via a video chat that we arrange and host. You get to talk to your Intended Parent/s, share about yourself and ask any questions you may have. You do not exchange any additional contact information to remain in touch. No full names need to be revealed
Open to Future Communication:
In this scenario, you are not committing to any ongoing communication. But at some point, when the child is older, they may want some sort of contact and/or have questions. In this case, during the legal phase, arrangements would be made for you to reach out to each other – usually through a third party.
Open Communication:
This is where you receive each other’s full names and contact information. You can directly reach out to each other at any time.
If you aren’t sure what you’d like to do, don’t worry, lots of Egg Donors aren’t sure. We can assist you with all of this and go over all of the options with you.
In most cases an Egg Donation can move rather quickly – it can be as short as 8 to 12 weeks from when you are selected until the eggs are retrieved. In some cases, it is 3-4 months depending upon where you are in your menstrual cycle once you are matched. During that time, you will have a medical evaluation done by the fertility doctor, sign contracts (you will have your own attorney that represents you paid for by the Intended Parent/s), and start medications, be monitored by a fertility clinic nearby your home and then come for the egg retrieval. Like we said, pretty quick.
No, it will not. Here's why...Even though you were taught in biology class that each month one egg is released down the fallopian tube, it’s actually a bit more complex than that. What really happens is that each woman:
- Starts her life with a finite number of eggs - usually about 300,000 – 400,000.
- Once she reaches puberty, each month anywhere from 10 – 40 eggs start to grow in sacs (aka follicles) in her ovaries. Only one matures and ovulates – the other 9 – 39 are absorbed back into her body, never to be used again.
Now, when you do an IVF cycle to retrieve eggs:
- You are given fertility medications that allow all 10 – 40 or so eggs to mature and not ovulate.
- They will be harvested and potentially fertilized.
So, when you donate your eggs:
- You are not using up any more eggs than you would if you were to ovulate naturally.
- Instead of the eggs being absorbed back into your body, they will now be used to help someone to create their very wanted family.
What an amazing gift to give for something you weren’t going to use or need anyway!
Yes! Your compensation is 100% yours and nothing will be taken from your fee by the agency or any other participating party. Additionally, when you do your Egg Donor cycle you will also receive travel expenses (ground and airfare, when needed), lodging, per diem, legal fees, etc.
We work with the best fertility clinics in the country - many located on both coasts. In most cases, you are able to complete the majority of your egg donation cycle at a local monitoring clinic near where you live. You will only have to travel two times:
- For your initial screening
- For the egg retrieval
A travel companion is required for the egg retrieval trip, so you will not have to travel alone. All of the expenses for both of you will be taken care of.
Your egg retrieval will be painless. You will receive a light sedation for the retrieval. There are no incisions and you will not have any scarring – the eggs are retrieved by a thin device passed through your vaginal wall. Most women go home (or to the hotel) to take a nap after the retrieval, wake for dinner and feel fine the next day. You will most likely feel ready to travel within a day or two after the retrieval. Some Egg Donors report feeling bloated for a week after the retrieval– water and protein are great for helping with the bloating.
In almost all case the answer is yes! Most Egg Donors are surprised at the warm feeling it gives them to be such a pivotal player in helping a very wanted child come into the world and are quick to offer to do it again.
The ASRM (American Society of Reproductive Medicine) suggests that a woman not donate more than 6 times. This has not proven to impair your own family building when the time comes.
In all honesty, there are many factors that go into what Intended Parents are hoping to find in an Egg Donor including:
- Certain looks
- Level of education
- Good genetics in hereditary diseases
- Health
- Ethnicity
- Height
- Talents - i.e.: sports, art, music, academic achievement, etc
A first impression can often be the most important factor and in this case it is your photographs.
When selecting photographs:
- Please submit ones where you feel you look your best.
- Show off the qualities you are most proud of – including sports or academic achievements (i.e., a graduation picture).
- Include family photos and childhood shots.
The more photos you give for us to choose from, the better. So please, send as many as you have.
Each Intended Parent has their own set of preferences when searching for an Egg Donor. Of course, if they like what they see, they will continue on to review your entire profile.
While we feel all eggs are created equal, some qualities can be in higher demand. Some things that do tend to command a higher fee are those Egg Donors with:
- Certain ethnicities (i.e., full Chinese).
- Education from more well-known and prestigious schools.
- Specific talents or particular looks.
Of course, like anyone that does a job well and gains experience, you will receive a bump in fee each time you make a donation. If other agencies offer higher compensation for those qualities - we will match those fees. Just let us know.
Once you are matched we will check with the Intended Parent/s’ fertility clinic and follow their directions. If you are required to remove it and there are any costs incurred for the removal and replacement of the IUD, you will be reimbursed for all related expenses. About 50% of clinics require the IUD to be removed.
Yes, you can donate your eggs if you are on birth control. Most of our donors are already on some form of birth control, and it should not impact your egg donation. In fact, birth control pills are often given to the Egg Donor by the fertility clinic for the cycle. You can also still be an egg donor if your tubes are tied.
Everyone is recommended to have their own medical insurance, but in case you don’t have it, when you are matched we will purchase special insurance dedicated to Egg Donors prior to starting your cycle. This insurance will cover you during your Egg Donor cycle and offers coverage for up to 3 months.
You will not be out one penny for your journey. All of your expenses (travel, medication, legal fees, etc.) will be paid for through The Fertility Agency by your Intended Parent/s.
Remember, 100% of your compensation will be paid to you.
Although we do not issue a 1099 tax form, your compensation is taxable and we always suggest you reach out to a tax advisor for advice on filing this income.
Here is how it works:
- Someone that needs help having a family and cannot produce their own eggs (maybe they are a man, maybe they had cancer, there are many reasons).
- They contact us, receive a password and sign onto our secure database to view profiles.
- They usually isolate certain characteristics that they want (like hair and eye color, etc.) to narrow down the choices.
- They tend to find a few profiles that appeal to them and they will think about it and discuss it with each other and friends and then select someone.
- Another way it can happen through our TrueMatch™ program. This is a matching technique unique to our agency where we help the Intended Parent/s narrow down their Egg Donor choices and help them find someone just like you. During this matching process we will check in with you to find out your availability and willingness to travel.

We will check in with you during this matching process to find out your availability and willingness to travel.
After you are matched and start the egg donation process, you will have ample time to be able to notify work and get days off in advance, if needed. Fortunately, the majority of the process -- like paperwork, screenings, contracts, and most of the medical calendar -- can be done while still being able to go to work.
You can start and pause your application at any time. If you aren’t sure if you’re ready to start or what the time commitment is, we suggest you speak to one of our Egg Donor Coordinators. They can answer your questions, discuss the timeline and walk you through the medical portion of an Egg Donor journey.
We often work with Egg Donors who are experienced, and who have worked or are working with other agencies. As long as you are open with us and tell us if you are currently matched or have recently cycled, then we are more than happy to work with you between cycles.
It is not uncommon for our Egg Donors to not know all of their family history or some of their personal information off the top of their head. Our Egg Donor Coordinators are here to work with you, review of your application and assist in gathering as much information with you as possible. This is also a great opportunity for you to learn more about your family history and background.
The quicker you complete an application and get a profile set up in our database, the faster you will potentially get matched to cycle. The time it takes to get matched depends on who is searching for your particular qualities and characteristics -- but our TrueMatch™ Specialist will work hard to send your profile out to all of the Intended Parent/s that are looking for someone just like you.
We have been helping people have babies through egg donation and surrogacy since 2004. Our staff would be more than happy to help you navigate our website to find testimonials from our very own experienced Egg Donors, and you can speak with one of our Egg Donor Coordinators to talk you through any of your concerns. We can introduce you to previous Egg Donors, as well as you can speak with the fertility clinics that we work.
While many people are familiar with the concept of Egg Donation (and might even know someone who has been an Egg Donor or needed one), for a lot of people this is still an unfamiliar concept. You have no responsibility to share this information with anyone that you know, It is good to remember:
- It is safe.
- It is beneficial to you.
- It is beneficial to others.
But if you don’t want to tell others, no judgement here. We will respect your wishes and your information is always protected – we will never share it unless you give us permission to do so.
If you would like to know the outcome of your donation - let us know when filling out your application. This is agreed upon between you and your Intended Parent/s during the contract process.
