U.S. Egg Donation Guide — Everything You Need to Know
Why do so many girls consider donating eggs in the United States?
Simply put, it’s a meaningful way to help couples struggling with infertility, while also receiving a high compensation package to boost your savings.
However, because the reward is substantial, many unlicensed or unprofessional agencies have appeared — some run by individuals with past donation experience but no medical training.
These agencies lack proper medical partners or logistics support, which can bring unnecessary risk.
So if you’re considering donating eggs abroad, make sure you choose a legally registered and reputable agency that provides full medical and logistical assistance — like Global Egg Donor which partners with licensed fertility centers in the U.S., Thailand, and Taiwan.Egg donation agencyWe’ve also compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions during our consultations and common online questions about egg donation in the US, such as the donation process, eligibility requirements, and nutritional subsidies.
Common Questions About U.S. Egg Donation (Q&A)
- Ｑ1. Who Can Donate Eggs?
Most healthy women can donate eggs if they meet three main sets of requirements: physical appearance, health requirement and psychological requirements
1. Physical appearance requirements
Height: 160 cm or above
BMI: 18.5–24
No bad habits (no smoking, drinking, drugs, or staying up late)
College education or higher
✨ Because intended parents in the U.S. can view donor photos, height, education, and facial features are often deciding factors.
2. Health requirements
Age 19–31
No genetic or infectious diseases
Must complete medical screening (including hormone, genetic, and infectious disease tests)
3. Psychological requirements
Mentally healthy, not taking antidepressant medications
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, you can always get a free consultation from a verified agency like Global Egg Donor.
- Q2. How Much Compensation Do U.S. Egg Donors Receive?
Compensation typically ranges from USD 8,000 to 20,000, depending on donor background and program type:
Egg bank donations: around USD 8,000–9,000
Parent-matched donations: start at USD 10,000 and can reach USD 20,000
Factors that increase compensation include prior donation experience, education level, height, and physical appearance.
- Q3. How Many Times Can You Donate?
Regulations differ between Taiwan and the U.S.:
Taiwan: Only once per lifetime, as stated in the Assisted Reproduction Act
(Each donor’s eggs may be used for only one couple and must stop after a successful pregnancy.)
U.S.: Up to 6 donations per lifetime are permitted.Article 10 of the Reproductive Technology Law stipulates that assisted reproductive institutions shall not provide reproductive cells donated by the same donor to more than two recipient couples simultaneously, and shall cease providing such cells to one recipient couple after they have successfully conceived. The purpose is to avoid ethical issues and reduce the probability of genetic diseases.
- Q4. Are There Any Hidden Costs?
While donors receive compensation, there are upfront expenses — such as airfare and medical tests — that are reimbursed after donation.
Other minor “hidden costs” may include supplements or nutrition to maintain egg quality before retrieval.
💡 Always clarify with the agency before signing any contract whether these costs are covered or need to be paid upfront.
