Keep in mind that ads for egg donors donât always include all of the necessary information, like who will cover your medical expenses or what happens if you need to go through several egg-retrieval cycles. If you want to become an egg donor, most agencies, clinics and programs offer between $5,000 and $10,000 per egg. The younger the woman, the more likely a successful pregnancy will result from her egg, according to the New York State Department of Health.
Donors restrict sexual activity for six weeks. They are given a course of hormone therapy, and they finally undergo outpatient surgery, during which eggs are harvested. For that, they are paid as much as $5,000 or more in large cities, no matter whether the egg leads to a pregnancy or not. Egg donors are also valued, even cherished. Almeling says agencies often encourage couples to send thank-you cards, small gifts or even cash bonuses to egg donors.
