Question 1

What's the average cost of using an egg donor?

Accepted Answer

Total costs typically range from $25,000 to $50,000, depending on the donor's background, location, and experience. This estimate includes the donor's compensation, legal fees, psychological evaluation, insurance, and agency coordination. It does not include any fees charged by your IVF clinic—such as medical screening, medications, monitoring, or the egg retrieval procedure. Your clinic will provide a separate estimate for those medical services.

Question 2

Why does donor compensation vary so significantly?

Accepted Answer

Donor fees depend on a variety of factors—educational background, ethnicity, prior donation success, and geographic location. Highly sought-after profiles often command higher compensation.

Question 3

What exactly is included in your agency fee?

Accepted Answer

Our fee covers full-cycle coordination: donor matching, screenings, scheduling, and ongoing support. It ensures seamless communication among all parties from start to finish.

Question 4

Can I receive a personalized cost estimate before choosing a donor?

Accepted Answer

We can share a sample fee schedule and general estimates. A precise quote depends on your chosen donor, her location, and whether travel arrangements are needed.

Question 5

How is payment handled throughout the donation process?

Accepted Answer

After you've selected your egg donor, an initial payment—typically a few thousand dollars—is required to reserve her and begin medical and psychological screening. This initial payment does not include our agency fee. Once the donor successfully passes all required evaluations, we will guide you in setting up a licensed escrow account to fund the remainder of the cycle. At that point, our agency fee and all additional costs—such as donor compensation, legal fees, and insurance—will be deposited into the trust account and disbursed accordingly.

Question 6

When do we close the escrow or trust account after the cycle ends?

Accepted Answer

Typically, the account is closed once all final invoices are paid and the donation cycle is complete. We'll guide you through the closing process to ensure every payment is accounted for.

Question 7

When do we pay the agency fee?

Accepted Answer

At Ivy Surrogacy, our agency fee is only due after your chosen egg donor has successfully passed both medical and psychological screening. This policy allows you to move forward with confidence, knowing that your financial commitment begins only once the donor is fully eligible to proceed. Prior to that, you'll only be asked to submit a small initial payment to cover early-stage expenses such as donor travel and screening coordination.
