What is the cost of donor eggs?

If a woman decided at some point that she needed to use donor egg because her ovaries have been compromised because of previous treatments and she would like to be pregnant and to have a child, then the cost for that is considerably higher. You’re basically paying for another woman to go through IVF for you, so to go through in vitro fertilization. So, it’s the cost of the procedures. It’s the cost of the medications. So, it could be upwards of $10,000.

Those costs can be reduced if the person that is donating the eggs to you is known to you. If you are using somebody who is maybe a family member, maybe a sister’s gonna donate her eggs, then maybe you’re only paying for the procedures and the pharmaceuticals that the patient needs to take. If it’s somebody else that you’re basically hiring to get their eggs and it’s generally younger women, maybe in their early 20’s, those are able to those are maybe a college student, for example, has decided that she wants to do this, those people who are donating their eggs then are paid, and that rate varies depending upon which fertility center they’re working with.
