Choosing an Egg Donor in Kansas
Choosing an egg donor is a deeply personal process, and FSC is proud to have helped many intended parents find the right match. Our Kansas program provides access to many different egg donors, each with a comprehensive profile that details their medical history, educational and/or vocational background, interests and hobbies, ethnicity, physical traits, values, and reasons for becoming a donor. With this information, intended parents can make an informed decision, with FSC coordinators on hand throughout the entire process to answer questions and provide any additional information.
Egg Donor Costs & Fees in Kansas
We understand the importance of having a clear understanding of anticipated costs when embarking on this unique journey. At FSC, we’re committed to providing detailed information on all financial commitments upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
For intended parents making use of our egg donation program, our all-inclusive agency fee is $10,000, which covers the egg donor’s legal consultations, psychological screenings, and medical insurance. All of these are essential to ensuring the health and well-being of both the donor and the baby.
As for egg donors themselves, they are compensated fairly for their unique mental and physical commitment, with pay starting at $8,000. Pay may be higher based on the donor’s specific qualities, and other expenses—such as travel and lodging if the donor is traveling to the clinic—may also come into play. These extra expenses can range widely, usually from about $1,000 to $9,000. Additional fees for optional services may also contribute to the overall cost. For example, some intended parents opt-in services such as AMH testing for $250 and genetic testing for $500, both of which can help provide more information on the donor’s overall health.
Egg donors in Kansas must complete rigorous screening to ensure a healthy and happy egg donation process for everyone involved. Some key aspects of the screening process include:
Medical Screening: In addition to medical screenings, egg donors will also undergo in-depth psychological evaluations to assess overall mental health, emotional stability, and readiness to undertake the unique journey of egg donation.
Psychological Screening: Evaluations to ensure mental well-being and readiness for the donation process, confirming the donor’s emotional stability and commitment.
ASRM and FDA Compliance Check: All the donors we work with are pre-qualified based on both American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.
Interviews: The experienced team at FSC will interview egg donors to better get to know them and their motivations for wanting to pursue egg donation.
Background Checks: Background checks will be conducted to confirm personal information and help ensure candidates are trustworthy, dependable, and ready to be egg donors.
Genetic Testing: Blood tests will be done to screen for any potential genetic disorders, providing intended parents with added assurance.
This comprehensive, multilayered screening process is crucial for maintaining a donor pool of healthy, stable individuals who are committed to helping others realize their dreams of parenthood.
Intended parents should consider various factors when selecting an egg donor. Medical history, educational and vocational background, interests and hobbies, and physical attributes may all be taken into account when reviewing potential donor profiles. For example, some intended parents try to choose a donor with similar physical characteristics to them. However, remaining flexible and open to working with various types of donors will give you more options and can create a less stressful experience.
From the initial stages of reviewing donor options to the time of egg retrieval, the egg donation process typically lasts three to six months, varying slightly from case to case. Other key steps along the way include medical appointments, psychological screenings, and legal processes. The caring, knowledgeable team at FSC will provide assistance at every stage of this unique journey.
People from many different backgrounds use donor eggs to help grow their families. Typically, intended parents choose to work with a donor when they cannot conceive on their own–whether due to older age, infertility, low-quality eggs, genetic disorders, or physical inability (such as with same-sex male couples). Egg recipients include heterosexual couples, same-sex and LGBTQ+ couples, single women, and single men (using a surrogate). At FSC, we’re committed to providing inclusive services for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and marital statuses.

Being between the ages of 21 and 29
U.S. citizen, with legal right to work in the U.S.
Good physical health, with a healthy BMI
No smoking or drug use
Good mental health, emotionally stable
Some college or trade/vocational certification

The egg donation process involves multiple steps, with safeguards built in at every stage to help facilitate a healthy, harmonious experience.
Initial Application: Anyone interested in becoming an egg donor can submit an application for review. Our team will review it carefully to determine if you may be a good fit for egg donation.
Consultation: If your application makes it to the next stage, you’ll attend a new donor consultation to learn more about the process and get clarification on any questions you may have.
Matching: If you continue on to the next phase, you’ll then be matched with intended parents. Intended parents may consider various factors when choosing a donor, such as similarities in ethnic background or physical features.
Medical and Psychological Screenings: Once you’ve matched with intended parents, you can begin medical and psychological screening processes, allowing you to gain more insight into your reproductive health and helping to ensure you’re both emotionally and physically ready to become an egg donor.
Legal Processes: If you continue forward after these screenings, you can begin working with an attorney, with whom you’ll review a donor contract drafted by the intended parents and their attorney. You’ll have the chance to review it in-depth, and all parties must be in agreement before signing.
Medical Processes: Once the contract is finalized and signed, the egg donor will undergo necessary blood tests and ultrasounds to prepare for egg retrieval, and will be taught how to administer self-injections.
Monitoring: Frequent check-ins with the fertility clinic will be required to ensure everything is going smoothly and that your body is responding well to the medications. During a certain timeframe, you’ll need to come in for appointments every other morning.
Egg Retrieval Procedure: Once your hormones have reached the needed level, you’ll undergo the egg retrieval procedure, during which you’ll be given a sedative and enter into a semi-conscious state. Most donors do not feel anything during the procedure and do not remember it afterward.
Recovery and Compensation: You should take some time to recover after the egg retrieval procedure, but most donors return to work, school, or usual activities the next day. You’ll be mailed your donor compensation after the procedure.
Dedicated professionals specializing in fertility, egg donation, and egg retrieval will be on hand throughout the entire process to ensure you feel comfortable and secure. At FSC, we take great care to make sure all egg donors working with us have the knowledge and resources they need to feel empowered and fulfilled.

Egg Donor FAQs
No, being an egg donor will not affect your fertility or deplete your egg supply. The process simply takes some of the eggs that would normally be discharged during your ovulation cycles.
No, you do not have any legal responsibilities to the child born using your donated eggs. The intended parents have full legal responsibility to the child. Any other expectations or requirements will be outlined in detail in the legally binding contract between you and the intended parents. In some cases, for example, the intended parents and the egg donor specify that the child can get in touch with the donor once the child reaches a certain age. Also be aware that the availability of home genetic testing may mean the child could find you in the future, even if contact with the child is not stipulated in the contract.
As with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Although some women feel no or minimal discomfort during the donation cycle, others may experience symptoms from the hormone medications, such as abdominal pain, bloating, breast tenderness, and mood changes. These side effects will usually subside after your next menstrual cycle. More severe symptoms and issues are rare, but your doctor will discuss everything with you in detail to ensure you understand all potential risks and feel confident embarking on this special experience.
