Finding an Egg Donor in Washington
Fertility Source Companies is one of the largest egg donation agencies in the country. We have a revolving open application process for potential donors, in addition to our large pool of qualified egg donors who have already been screened and are currently available. As a result, our egg donor database is constantly updated with new donors so there’s never a shortage to choose from.
Choosing an Egg Donor in Washington
Choosing the right egg donor is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. Running an “Egg Donor Wanted” ad simply doesn’t deliver. Identifying key qualities (e.g., physical or personality traits) and prioritizing those at the top of your list is essential. Our egg donor database can be filtered according to various factors, such as the egg donor’s personality, physical characteristics, geographical location, and other search parameters.
Egg Donor Costs & Fees in Washington
Our egg donor service fees in Washington vary depending on several factors, including your geographic location, egg donor expenses, and optional services (e.g., genetic testing). Egg donor fees can also vary depending on specific, high-in-demand characteristics, but the average cost is around $8,000; the agency fee is $8,500. Other costs include donor travel and other out-of-pocket expenditures, legal retainers, and other fees. Learn more details about egg donor costs and fees.
How Egg Donors Are Screened in Washington
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
A mental health screening (The Donor Source facilities upon match)
Intended parents (IPs) are given access to our database of pre-screened egg donors. After making a list of the top characteristics/priorities you are looking for in an egg donor, you can search our database to find potential donors.
There are many reasons for an egg donor; often, a person is unable to produce healthy eggs due to age or certain health conditions (e.g., premature ovarian failure). Other scenarios involving those who opt for egg donation include single fathers, LGBTQ+ couples, and those with genetic abnormalities who don’t want to risk passing a genetic disorder to their offspring.
Having twins, triplets, or other multiples with donor eggs is possible if more than one egg is transferred during IVF.
Becoming an egg donor in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Bellevue, or elsewhere in Washington is an opportunity to help a couple or individual who is struggling to have a baby. The egg donation process is described as being a very rewarding experience. In addition to the personal satisfaction of knowing you’ve given the most precious gift to a family, otherwise unable to conceive, there are many other benefits for egg donors.

The Egg Donation Process
To stimulate ovarian production, an egg donor self-injects hormones over the course of approximately three weeks. During this process, a fertility specialist will closely monitor you and perform blood and ultrasound tests to confirm the maturity level of your eggs. Next, the egg retrieval procedure is performed to remove the eggs from the ovaries. During this outpatient procedure, patients are sedated. Most donors are able to return to a normal work schedule the day after the procedure.
Egg Donor Pay & Compensation in Washington

Egg Donor FAQs
The egg donor is sedated during the egg retrieval process, so there is usually no pain associated with the procedure. Some donors complain of slight cramping and bloating after the egg retrieval procedure, but this usually subsides within a week.
Yes, because there is a slight swelling of the ovaries after the egg retrieval process, you should avoid high-impact activities for several weeks after the procedure. Be sure to follow the fertility specialist’s aftercare instructions.
