Egg Donor Costs & Fees in Pennsylvania
Navigating the financial commitments involved in egg donation is a significant part of the journey for intended parents. At Fertility Source Companies, we are dedicated to providing clear and thorough information to help you understand these costs.
Our all-inclusive agency fee of $10,000 covers essential services such as the donor's legal consultations, psychological assessments, and insurance for any potential complications. This fee ensures that all critical aspects of the process are managed with precision and care.
Egg donors are compensated starting at $8,000, with potential increases based on the donor’s specific attributes and requests from intended parents. There are also variable costs related to the donor, which can range from $1,000 to $9,000. These costs often include travel and lodging expenses if the donor must travel to the fertility clinic.
To further enhance your confidence in the process, we offer optional services like AMH testing for $250 and a genetic testing hold fee of $500. These additional tests provide extra assurance about the donor's readiness and health.
Egg donors in Pennsylvania undergo a rigorous screening process to ensure they meet our high standards. This includes:
Medical Screening: Comprehensive physical exams and blood tests to assess overall health, ensuring donors are in optimal condition to donate eggs.
Psychological Screening: Evaluations to ensure mental well-being and readiness for the donation process, confirming the donor’s emotional stability and commitment.
Interviews and Background Checks: Thorough interviews and background checks to verify personal history and dedication, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the donor.
Genetic Testing: Blood tests to screen for genetic disorders and other potential issues, providing an added layer of assurance for intended parents.
FDA Compliance Check: Ensuring all donors meet the strict guidelines set forth by the FDA for egg donation.
Personality Profiles: Detailed personality assessments to help intended parents gain a deeper understanding of the donor’s characteristics and traits.
This meticulous screening process ensures that only the healthiest and most committed individuals become egg donors, providing the best possible outcomes for intended parents.
When selecting an egg donor, IPs should consider factors such as the donor's physical characteristics, medical history, educational background, and personal interests to find a match that aligns with their values and preferences. However, having a flexible mindset is also important, as you may find yourself drawn to a donor who does not match your preferences entirely, but is the perfect fit for your family.
The egg donation process typically takes between three to six months, from selecting a donor to completing the egg retrieval procedure. This timeline includes the initial consultation, donor selection, medical screening, and the actual egg retrieval. Each step is carefully coordinated to ensure the best outcomes for all parties involved.
No, the egg donor will not have any parental rights to the child. Before the donation process begins, the donor must sign legal agreements that clearly state they are relinquishing any parental rights or responsibilities. These contracts ensure that the intended parents are the legal parents of any child born through the egg donation process. A reproductive attorney typically drafts and reviews these agreements to protect the legal interests of both the donor and the intended parents, making sure that the donor has no legal claim to the child now or in the future.

Initial Application: The process begins with an online application where you provide basic information about yourself and your health history. This helps us determine your initial eligibility.
Consultation: If your application is accepted, you will have an initial consultation to discuss your interest in becoming a donor, review the process in detail, and answer any questions you may have.
Matching with Intended Parents: Once you pass the screenings, you will be matched with IPs. This matching process considers both your preferences and those of the intended parents to ensure a good fit.
Screening: Comprehensive medical and psychological screenings follow the consultation. Medical screenings include physical exams and blood tests to assess your overall health and reproductive potential. Psychological screenings include evaluations to ensure mental well-being and readiness for the donation process.
Legal Contracts: Before proceeding, you will be required to sign legal contracts outlining your responsibilities and protecting your rights as a donor.
Ovarian Stimulation: You will undergo a series of hormonal injections to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. During this period, you will have regular monitoring appointments to track your progress.
Monitoring: Frequent visits to the fertility clinic for blood tests and ultrasounds ensure that your body is responding well to the medications and that the timing for egg retrieval is optimal.
Egg Retrieval Procedure: The retrieval procedure is performed under sedation to ensure your comfort. A physician will use a thin needle to extract the eggs from your ovaries. The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and you will be able to go home the same day.
Recovery: After the retrieval, you will have a short recovery period. Most donors return to their normal activities within a few days. The fertility clinic will provide you with detailed post-procedure care instructions and we will support you during your recovery.
Follow-Up: You will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your health and well-being after the donation process. Any concerns or questions you have during this time will be addressed by the fertility clinic.

Egg Donor FAQs
No, being an egg donor will not impact your future fertility. The process involves retrieving eggs that your body would naturally discard during your menstrual cycle.
No, as an egg donor, you do not have any legal responsibilities to a child born using your eggs. All legal rights and responsibilities belong to the IPs. Legal agreements are put in place to ensure that donors have no parental obligations.
In most cases, egg donation is anonymous, and the recipients will not meet you. However, there are some circumstances where donors and recipients may agree to meet, depending on mutual consent and agency policies. Anonymity is maintained to protect the privacy and interests of both parties. However, it is important to be aware that with the advent of home genetic testing kits, there is a possibility that a child born from your donation could track you down in the future. Although this is rare, it's something to consider when deciding to become a donor.
