Why Become an Egg Donor in Colorado
The act of donating eggs is a generous act of kindness that can be very rewarding. Helping a person or a couple struggling to have a baby is the obvious reason that most people decide to donate their eggs, but there are many other benefits. Not only are egg donors generously compensated for donating their eggs, but they also receive free screening tests, such as health and fertility evaluations, legal protection, and compensation for personal expenses, such as travel costs. In addition, during the egg donation process, some donors may discover that freezing their eggs is beneficial for future pregnancy plans.
Egg Donor Requirements in Colorado
Fertility Source Companies maintains very high standards when it comes to egg donor requirements. Each donor is screened to ensure they have a healthy reproductive capability, that there are no genetically inherited diseases in their family history, and that they are physically and mentally healthy.
Our donors are evaluated to ensure they don’t smoke or take drugs and they must have a schedule that is open and flexible to accommodate the appointments necessary for the egg donation process. Age makes a difference when it comes to healthy reproduction, our donors must be between the ages of 21 to 29 and have a healthy weight. Learn more about egg donor requirements.
The Egg Donation Process in Colorado
During the egg donation process, hormonal medications are given to induce multiple egg development in a single ovulation cycle. Next, ultrasound images are taken to guide the fertility specialist as the eggs are retrieved – via a gentle suction process – from the ovarian follicle. The donor is sedated before the procedure begins to ensure there is no pain involved. Transferring the eggs to the recipient is performed in a separate procedure (i.e., in-vitro fertilization) after the egg is fertilized in the lab.
Egg Donor Pay & Compensation in Colorado
Fertility Source Companies ensures that our egg donors are fully compensated for their time, dedication, flexibility, and expenses in the remarkable role of giving the gift of a family to those who are struggling to conceive. The base compensation for first-time egg donors is $8,000. After donating, repeat egg donors typically see an increase of $500 - $1,000.

The first step to earning money from egg donation is to apply to a reputable egg donation agency program. Egg donor agencies ensure that egg donors are fairly compensated for their time, effort, and dedication. The process involves thorough medical evaluations, psychological screening, and legal agreements. Compensation typically starts at $8,000 for first-time egg donors, with repeat egg donors earning an additional $500-$1,000 for each retrieval cycle, depending on various factors.
The compensation for egg donors in Colorado ranges from $8,000 to $9,000. First-time egg donors begin at $8,000 and repeat donors can earn $9,000, depending on the number of donations completed.
In FSC’s Colorado egg donor program, you must be between 21 to 29 years old to donate your eggs. Additionally, you should be in good health, be a non-smoker, and have a healthy body mass index (BMI). Meeting these criteria ensures the safety and effectiveness of the donation process.
Potential candidates can be disqualified from becoming egg donors for smoking, using drugs, and having certain health issues (e.g., genetic disorders, fertility problems, etc.). They may also be disqualified if they use certain types of birth control, such as Depo-Provera shot, hormonal IUD, or implant birth control. The inability to commit to the time required to donate one’s eggs is another disqualifying factor.
There will be some out-of-pocket expenses but they are reimbursed at the completion of the donation process. You will be provided information on what expenses are reimbursed to you before starting the donation. They can include mileage, airport parking, birth control prescriptions, etc.
No, you are not required to have medical insurance to be an egg donor. The prospective parents pay for all medical appointments, medications, procedures, travel accommodations, etc.
You can share with our team your preferences about the intended parent(s) you would like to be matched with, such as an LGBTQ+ couple or a U.S.-based couple. You’ll learn a few key details about the intended parent(s) and if you both choose to meet virtually or in person, your case manager will help facilitate the call or meeting. More and more, intended parents are interested in getting to know their donors however it is not a requirement for our donors to do so.
Some agencies run a background check on intended parents while others do not. There are checks and balances throughout the process to ensure the intended parents are providing a safe and stable home for their child. To align with the standards set by the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (SEEDS), Fertility Source Companies does conduct background checks on all of our intended parents, egg donors, and gestational carriers.
Some states where egg donors are in high demand, such as California, may pay slightly more. However, in general, egg donor compensation typically doesn’t vary that much from state to state.

How Egg Donors Are Screened in Colorado
At Fertility Source Companies, we require potential egg donors to undergo multiple forms of stringent screenings and background checks. Before being added to our database, potential egg donors must undergo:
A lifestyle evaluation
A criminal background check
A personality profile
An overview of the donor's commitment level
A FDA compliance check
A recent pap smear result
Once matched, egg donors have to undergo several other screenings, all of which are completed at the intended parent’s fertility clinic. These include:
A complete physical exam
A blood test to screen for drug use or specific health disorders

The expected cost for an egg donor cycle in Colorado ranges from $14,150 to a high of $27,650.

The cost of IVF is an additional amount that is charged by your fertility physician’s office.
Egg donor laws in Colorado are positive for egg donation, and for intended parents. When a woman consents to reproduction using a donated egg and in vitro fertilization (IVF), the law recognizes her as the natural mother. If her husband consents, he is recognized by the law as the natural father. The egg donor does not retain any parental rights under Colorado artificial reproduction laws.
We understand that each journey to parenthood is unique. We work closely with all types of recipient couples and individuals, including those using an egg donor, a surrogate, and/or a sperm donor. Our team prioritizes supporting you, your partner (if applicable), your egg donor, and/or your surrogate through the extensive medical testing process at the fertility clinic.
All egg donors are screened ahead of time for a wide range of conditions and health issues that could potentially impact the potential for a successful pregnancy. As intended parents, all you have to worry about when finding an egg donor is whatever personal criteria you have in mind, such as personality traits, educational background, or physical characteristics.
Yes, there is a chance of having twins with donor eggs when more than one donor egg is transferred during IVF.
Choosing the best egg donor agency in Colorado is a very important decision. At Fertility Source Companies, we work to make this choice easy by providing exceptional customer service to both our egg donors and our parents-to-be. We match potential parents with qualified donors according to our underlying mission to help both heterosexual and LGBT families grow.
The Donor Source division is pleased to provide all necessary support during the egg donation process, as we bring together egg donors and intended parents. Our team will answer all your questions and guide you through each step of this complicated, yet potentially rewarding, experience.
It is possible to work with a donor who is not near you or your clinic. In most cases, the donor will travel to your doctor twice – once for her initial medical screening and again for egg retrieval. She will be assigned to a fertility doctor near her whom she will see for routine appointments. Your doctor will still have control of the cycle.
Some donors may be open to communicating with the parent. If she is open to this, we would arrange a call with someone from our staff present. During the cycle, your dedicated case manager can pass along any messages to your donor if needed.
