To view an estimated cost sheet please click here. Once you select an egg donor, a customized cost sheet will be created for you.
No, the compensation offered to the donors in our program is not negotiable. First time donors in our program received $8,000 in compensation and all returning donors receive $10,000. Our donors are compensated more than the $5,000 recommended by ASRM because they are all required to come in for a video interview which will be provided to the intended parents when a pregnancy is reported. No other agency requires this of their donors. Per ASRM/SART guidelines, no donor will be compensated more than $10,000.
You can select a donor directly from our site by clicking the "Select this Donor" button on the donor's online profile. This is the best method to confirm your selection as it will be received by our staff right away. You can also email or call in and speak with our Client Development Coordinator to confirm your selection.
Once you select a donor from our site we will call the donor to confirm her availability and ask her if she has any blackout dates during which she cannot go in for in person appointments. After we speak with the donor, you will be sent the proper paperwork necessary to confirm the match. The paperwork and trust account funding will then be due within 3 business days.
When a donor does not live in the area where your IVF doctor is located, she will need outside monitoring. Outside monitoring usually consists of ultrasounds and lab work which the donor can have done near her home. In the estimated cost sheet, we collect for monitoring so that payment can be set up for the donor's future appointments.
The donors in our program are considered anonymous. If you are interested in meeting one of our donors please contact our Client Development Coordinator. We will then contact the donor and ask her if she is open to meeting the intended parents who select her. If the parents and donor decide to meet in person, that meeting will be facilitated by a member of the Growing Generations staff. The donor is compensated $250 for meeting the intended parents.
The donors in our program are considered anonymous. If the donor agrees to meet the offspring that result from her donation, that meeting will later be facilitated by the intended parents' attorney who drafted their egg donation contract.
If you are interested in viewing more photos of our donors please contact our Client Development Coordinator directly.
The status of our donors appears directly on their online profile. All of the donors on our site are available. If a donor appears "On Hold" it means she has been selected and we are awaiting confirmation of her selection. Once we have confirmation of her selection, her status will change to "In Cycle" and she will be removed from the site.
Yes, information regarding a previous donor's cycle is available on the donor's online profile. To review this information visit the "Health/Reproductive History" section of her online profile.
Yes, some of our donors are willing to travel. Every donor is asked this question when entering our program and you can see their answer to this question on the first page of their online profile. If the donor you select needs to travel to your clinic, we will call her to confirm the future travel arrangements upon selection.
If a donor does not live in the area where the intended parents IVF doctor is located she will have to travel to the IVF clinic at least twice. The first time will be for her initial medical screening appointment. The second time she will travel she will be on injectable medications and her trip will last 7-10 days. She will need to be in the area where the IVF clinic is located so the doctor can monitor her progress on the medications leading up to the egg retrieval. She will need airfare, hotel accommodations, and meal reimbursement while she is traveling for the donation. The donor will also need a travel companion for the egg retrieval. The doctor's office will not release her from their office without a companion after the egg retrieval.
