What is an Egg Donor?
An Egg Donor is a young woman (usually in her 20s to mid-30s) who provides her eggs to another woman (an egg recipient) who is not able to get pregnant using her own eggs. The egg recipient uses donor eggs to conceive through an assisted reproductive procedure called in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Some infertile women turn to a family member or friend to donate her eggs. Other times infertile women seek out an egg donor (usually anonymous) who is compensated for her time and effort.
How much will I be compensated?
After being accepted as a donor and completing a donation cycle, you will be compensated $3,500.00.
Plus....if you refer a friend who completes a donation cycle at ARMS, we will give you a $200 bonus!
Not only will you be financially compensated, but you'll have the fulfillment of knowing that you're helping a couple realize their dream of having a baby. It may be one of the most important things you will do in your life!
What's involved?
To become an egg donor you will go through a series of medical and psychological evaluations to make sure you are healthy both physically and emotionally. Your screening begins with completing this form. If it looks like you may be an egg donor candidate, you will be contacted by a specialist at a fertility center near you who will get more information from you and schedule an in-person consultation if it still looks like you may be a candidate.
If you are approved to be an egg donor, you'll begin taking fertility medications and injections to stimulate multiple egg production. Once your eggs are mature, they will be removed at the fertility center through a minimally invasive medical procedure. From beginning to end, the egg donation process can take a few months.
