If you are considering donating your eggs to help someone else achieve their dream of having a child, thank you. Women who donate eggs provide the gift of possibility to families who are unable to conceive on their own.
Best. Decision. Ever.
Many people who desperately want to build a family cannot conceive a child with their own eggs due to a wide variety of fertility problems. Whether these issues are the result of cancer, age, poor egg quality, genetic disease, unknown or other causes, these individuals depend upon donor eggs to realize their dream of family. Egg donation creates a life-changing opportunity to help people become parents.

How it Works: Egg Donation
Application & Consultation If you are between 21 and 30 years of age, you may be a candidate for egg donation. Once you complete the online application, we will schedule an appointment to evaluate your overall and reproductive health, genetic history, and psychological stability (all testing is provided at no charge to you).
Preparation If you are found to be an ideal egg donor candidate and you want to proceed with the donation, you will begin preparation for ovarian stimulation. Our dedicated nurses will teach you how to perform medication injections and we will provide all necessary fertility medications.
Stimulation & Retrieval Egg production will be stimulated with daily fertility medications. Over the course of approximately two weeks, you will visit NYU Langone Fertility Center where we will monitor the growth of your eggs using an ultrasound. After you receive a final medication prep, your eggs will be retrieved under anesthesia. After your eggs are retrieved, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to ensure you're comfortable, happy, and healthy.
Where It Happens When and if you decide to donate your eggs, the entire egg donation process will take place at our state-of-the-art fertility center located at 660 First Avenue, New York, NY.
Egg Donor Compensation
Successful egg donors are awarded $10,000 in compensation for their time and effort throughout the donation process. Following each egg donation cycle, egg donors will receive a 1099 tax form from the Fertility Center in order to report this $10,000 income to the Internal Revenue Service.
Egg Donation Retrieval
The stimulation process spans about 14-days and includes bloodwork and ultrasounds to monitor your ovaries and hormone levels. When ready for removal, you will be given sedation while the eggs are retrieved during a 10-20 minute surgical procedure.
