EGG DONOR PAY & COMPENSATION
BEING AN EGG DONOR IS REWARDING IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Egg donors make family possible for people who want to be parents. Here’s how Growing Generations egg donors are compensated and what expenses are covered during the egg donation process.
EGG DONOR COMPENSATION
Becoming an egg donor is doubly rewarding; you help intended parents build their family and receive financial compensation. Egg donors are not paid for selling their eggs; they receive compensation for their compassion, selflessness, and willingness to tolerate some physical discomfort. They are reimbursed for all expenses associated with the egg donation process such as medical bills, legal fees, and travel expenses. The goal is to cover your expenses and leave you with money to improve your own life as you wish.

HOW ARE EGG DONORS PAID?
Egg donor payments are broken into two disbursements. The first payment made to an egg donor is $750 and is paid upon the start of injectable medications. The balance of an egg donor’s compensation is paid after the completion of the egg retrieval procedure regardless of the number of eggs retrieved. Your egg donation compensation will be in the form of direct deposits or mailed checks. From reimbursements to your final compensation, our finance team will make sure you receive any payments or reimbursements in a timely manner.
WHAT OTHER EXPENSES ARE COVERED?
Egg donors are eligible for many benefits and expenses related to the egg donation cycle, including:
LEGAL FEES
As an egg donor, you will enter into a legal agreement with your intended parents prior to starting injectable cycle medications. You will be provided with an independent attorney. Your attorney will walk you through your contract with your intended parents to ensure you have a full understanding of the legal process as it relates to your egg donation cycle.

EGG DONOR INSURANCE
While complications are rare, we don’t take chances. You will be provided with an egg donation cycle insurance policy. This insurance policy will be used to cover medical expenses for any complication that arises as a result of the egg donation process.

AIR FAIR
If you do not live in the immediate area of your IVF clinic, you may be required to fly to the city where the clinic is located. You will be provided with one coach airfare ticket for your medical screening appointment and two coach airfare tickets for yourself and an authorized companion at the time of the egg retrieval.

GROUND TRAVEL
If you use your own vehicle to drive to any medical appointments related to your egg donation you will be reimbursed for a per mile rate to cover fuel. If you do not have a car or are flown to another city you will be provided with reasonable ground transportation for required travel, including transfer to and from the airport as well as to and from doctors’ appointments and procedures. When available, you will be given access to Growing Generations’ Uber account to make ground transportation a breeze.

While traveling for egg retrieval, you and your authorized travel companion will share hotel accommodations.

COMPANION
We want you to feel supported and comfortable. You will choose a companion to accompany you from the egg retrieval back home or back to the hotel. You will not be released from the IVF clinic after your egg retrieval if you are alone. If you must fly for the egg retrieval procedure, your companion’s meals and airfare will be paid for. You and your companion will share a hotel room and ground transportation whenever possible.

DISCLAIMER
Egg donation involves a screening process. Not all potential egg donors are selected. Not all selected egg donors receive the monetary amounts or compensation advertised. As with any medical procedure, there may be risks associated with human egg donation. Before an egg donor agrees to begin the egg donation process, and signs a legally binding contract, she is required to receive specific information on the known risks of egg donation. Consultation with your doctor prior to entering into a donor contract is advised.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I DONATE MY EGGS?
You can donate your eggs up to six times. After the egg retrieval is complete, one of our admissions specialists will request the medical records from your egg donation cycle. An IVF physician will review your medical records and make a recommendation as to whether you are able to return to the program to complete additional egg donation cycles.
