Egg donation is a medical commitment, not just an application.
Review compensation, eligibility, cycle timing, legal support, and covered expenses before sharing personal details.
Compensation
Separate the donor range from covered expenses.
First-time public ranges are typically $8,000 to $10,000 per cycle. Medical screening, legal review, travel, and cycle-related insurance should be explained separately.

Screening
Eligibility protects donors and recipient families.

Cycle fit
The medical schedule needs to fit real life.
