How much does the Average Egg donor get compensated?

Question

I am contimplating on becoming either a surrogate or an egg donor. I want to give a couple/individual the opportunity to have a child, but my husband keeps asking what the average compensation is. Please let me know if you know what the compensation is. Thanks

Answer 1

Average for egg donation is 5,000-10,000 but with many programs if you don't produce enough eggs or if you have to be dropped from the cycle then compensation is much less.
As for surrogacy, about 15,000-20,000 is the going rate but you need to check with your states laws. Some states only allow for a certain amount of compensation.

To find out more just call your local Infertility Clinic or Reproductive Endo's office and ask the nurse about their egg donation and surrogacy program.

Answer 2

In PA you would get $5,000 per egg. And all testing screening and medical care involved will also be free of charge to you. The screening for both egg donation and surrogate is quite extensive and depending on the results of your testing you may not even qualify in which case you don't get any compensation. Things like family medical history or if you have a mild blood clotting disorder or a history of smoking or carry a recessive trait that could be passed down and cause the child to have a disease I'm a carrier for sickle cell but don't have the disease.

Preparing to Donate
You will be advised about the fertility medication injections that you will administer at home for a series of up to 21 days. The entire process encompasses between one to three months of planning, followed by about three weeks of cycling time. During the actual treatment phase you will be seen in the GRS office for morning monitoring, including about 4-7 mornings of blood work and vaginal sonograms to gauge your egg production.

Collecting the Donated Eggs
The egg retrieval, also called TVA or egg pickup, is generally done in the morning and you will be sedated using medication administered through an IV. With the ultrasound as guidance, the ovary follicles (hopefully containing eggs) are retrieved. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, including a short recovery period in the office, we recommend that you spend the rest of the day quietly at home. Women are given detailed discharge instructions and encouraged to begin oral contraceptives. Most women feel fine the next day, and normal periods generally return in about 2 weeks.

Compensation
The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) does not allow participants to be 'paid' for their eggs, though it is clearly recognized that a donor should be compensated for their time and commitment to the program. Georgia Reproductive Specialists offers $6000 for donors who complete the cycle to the point of egg retrieval.
