  1. EGG DONATION FAQS PROCESS & COMPENSATION

  2. PROCESS

  3. It’s natural to have questions. Below we have outlined a few of our more frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions not addressed here, we invite you to contact us at 858-847-5939 or email family@physicianssurogacy.com and we’re happy to answer them.

  4. What happens after I submit my application? We’ll review your COMPLETED application within 1-3 business days and let you know if you meet the initial criteria. If you do, we’ll schedule your brief egg donor phone interview. During your interview, we’ll discuss how the egg donation process works and answer any questions you may have.

  5. Do I have to give myself injections? Yes. If you have a friend or family member that is willing to give the injections to you, that is also an option.

  6. How long do I have to take injections? It depends on the doctor’s protocol. Each person is a little different. Typically, it’s 10-12 days.

  7. How long does the process take? Once you are matched, it can take 3 to 4 months before your egg retrieval (depending on several variables).

  8. What is the process/what happens next? We will place you in our active database so that potential Intended Parents can view your public profile. Once they have selected you, you will be contacted with details about when the anticipated cycle will begin. We will guide you through each step of the process.

  9. How many eggs will they take? Everyone is different. Some retrievals will result in 2 eggs, some will results in 20 or more. It depends on your body and how your body reacts to the medications.

  10. Will I have to travel? You will travel to our location in San Diego, CA. All costs will be paid upfront by us. All travel arrangements (flights, hotels, etc.) will be booked by us. You will only have to travel 2 times. Once for the medical screening (1 day trip) and a second time for the actual egg retrieval (4-7 days). You will be required to bring a support person (family member, close friend, or partner) to accompany you for the egg retrieval. All the appointments in between will be done at a center local to you. If you are an international donor, you will only have to travel once, the duration of your trip will last 18-21 days to complete your donation cycle.

  11. What does the week following retrieval look like? You may experience some cramping, bloating, or soreness/tenderness. We can prescribe pain medication as necessary, but we encourage rest and relaxation! We are also able to provide a physician’s note for school/work so you are afforded sufficient time to focus on recovery. Your coordinators on the Egg Donation and IVF Team will be maintain communication to provide medical care as needed. Reminder – recovery looks different for everybody, but regardless, you won’t be on your own!

  12. COMPENSATION

  13. How much do egg donors get paid? The average starting compensation for egg donors is $7,000. However, compensation differs based on a number of factors, including the donor’s education, her donation history, ethnic diversity and other factors. In particular, Chinese, Japanese and Caucasian donors are in high demand.

  14. How do I get paid? You will get paid from an escrow account that the Intended Parents establish. You will get a start-of-medications fee (typically $750) then the remaining amount after the retrieval is completed. For example, if your compensation is $7,000, you will receive $750 after you begin injectable medications and the remaining amount, $6,250, after the retrieval is completed. Typically compensation is delivered via check.

  15. Is there anything that I have to pay for? Everything is paid for in advance by the Intended Parents so there is nothing you will pay for out of pocket. However, if you are asked to pay out of pocket for something, you will be promptly reimbursed.

  16. If you have questions about the process or your application, we would love to help! Please contact us at family@physicianssurrogacy.com  or call 858-847-5939.
