​Understanding Costs of Selecting an Egg Donor

​

Donor eggs (oocytes) can play an important role in family building. Some intended parents choose this option due to medical or age-related reasons, while others, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, may do so as part of their journey. In some cases, donor eggs are combined with gestational surrogacy, while in others, intended parents may carry the pregnancy themselves.

We know it’s important for Intended Parents to consider all costs when planning their Egg Donation Journey. Variables in cost for an egg donation journey include:

Egg Donor Compensation (whether the egg donor is a first time donor or proven donor), and location of the donor. For instance, in California, egg donors are high in demand, therefore their compensation is often slightly higher than egg donors from other states.

Legal costs and other egg donation service costs may also vary from state to state. This range does not include In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) costs, which are paid directly to the IVF clinic.
