At the appointment, we will work with you to determine whether this is a good option for you. The discussion will cover selecting an egg donor, an evaluation cycle, the real cycle, success rates, and costs. If you have a sister or friend willing to be a donor, this may be a great option. Advertising in a college newspaper has been a successful way to find a donor for many couples. There are organizations, psychologists, and social workers who will help you find a donor.
Some programs have their own egg donors.
The expense varies, depending on how you find the donor. The American Fertility Society suggests that donors be paid to compensate them for the risk and time involved. Generally, a donor should be no more than 35 years old. The donor should match as many of your desired characteristics as possible. She should not have any family history of birth defects or hereditary diseases.
