I\u2019m Xiao Fang, and before deciding to donate eggs,<\/a> I spent a lot of time researching online. I realized there weren\u2019t many detailed personal stories out there, and since this is quite a serious decision, I wanted to share my own experience for girls who are considering donating eggs in the U.S.<\/a>
That said, my intention isn\u2019t to encourage everyone to do it\u2014I simply hope my story can give you a clearer idea of what to expect. Before I made my decision, I not only read everything I could find online, but also talked to a few friends who had donated before. After carefully evaluating my own health condition and doing plenty of homework, I decided to go for it.
The biggest potential risk to be aware of is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), which can sometimes occur after taking fertility medications. I really recommend that anyone considering egg donation look it up and understand the symptoms beforehand. Being informed is the best way to make sure you go through the process safely and confidently.<\/p>\n\n

\"Egg<\/figure>\n\n

Why Did I Choose to Donate Eggs in the U.S.? What Was My Reason?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

For me, the reason was simple \u2014 I\u2019ve already had two children, and I don\u2019t plan to have more. I thought, if I can help someone else build their family while also earning money, why not? In the U.S., egg donors can receive up to $10,000 USD per cycle, which is definitely a big motivation.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking about donating in the U.S., I highly recommend \u201cU.S Global Egg Donation\u201d .<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

When I first started researching, I contacted many different agencies online, but in the end, I chose U.S Global Egg Donation because they were friendly, professional, and quick to respond. They helped me arrange all my tests at a nearby OB-GYN in Taiwan \u2014 no need to travel to Taipei.<\/p>\n\n

[Application Process]<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve donated before, your chances of being selected again are higher, since you\u2019ve already passed the basic health screening. The form asks about your medical history, family health background, and lifestyle details \u2014 they really want to ensure the donor\u2019s overall health. <\/p>\n\n

But the most important part? <\/a>Your photos and self-introduction video!
U.S Global Egg Donation clinics often let intended parents choose donors based on the photos and overall impression, so your first impression matters a lot. Choose bright, confident, natural photos that highlight your personality \u2014 a friendly smile, clean look, and a positive vibe.
For the video, wear light makeup and speak naturally about your personality, interests, and talents. These small details can make a big difference in whether you get matched.<\/p>\n\n

[Medical Screening Steps]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

1. Ultrasound Examination<\/p>\n\n

The first step is a pelvic ultrasound, usually done on the third day of your period, to count your follicles. You can do this at your local OB-GYN or fertility center. If you have 10 or more follicles and everything looks normal, the doctor will give you a simple report.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

This step is very important because the U.S. center requires a doctor\u2019s statement confirming your follicle count and normal ovulation. After that, they\u2019ll do blood tests for progesterone, hormones, and AMH levels. <\/p>\n\n

2. DNA Genetic Test<\/p>\n\n

Once you pass the first step, U.S Global Egg Donation will mail you a saliva test kit. You\u2019ll spit into the tube, seal it, and send it to the U.S. lab for testing. The results show if you carry any recessive genetic conditions, and they usually take about two weeks.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

3. Chromosome Screening<\/p>\n\n

After that, you\u2019ll do a chromosome karyotype analysis, which checks whether there are any abnormalities in your 23 chromosome pairs. Don\u2019t worry \u2014 most people pass this easily.<\/p>\n\n

4. Inherited Disease Check & Medical Coordination<\/p>\n\n

Once all your test results are clear, U.S Global Egg Donation <\/a>sends the reports to their partner fertility hospital in the U.S. The clinic then reviews your menstrual cycle and helps plan the best timing for your trip and treatment.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

During this waiting period,<\/a> I even had a video consultation with the American doctor and nurse. They explained everything in detail. The doctor noticed my estrogen levels were slightly high, so he adjusted my medication dosage to reduce the risk of side effects.<\/p>\n\n

Soon after, the clinic gave me a treatment calendar showing when to start and stop birth control pills, when to fly to the U.S., how to take each medication, and the exact day of the retrieval.<\/p>\n\n

After finishing all the egg donation tests and screenings, I got ready to depart for the United States!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

After finishing all the tests, it was time to go! U.S Global Egg Donation<\/a> booked my direct flight and helped me prepare for customs questions, basic English answers, and even a mock interview via LINE and video call \u2014 super reassuring!
I took birth control pills for about a month to rest my ovaries and regulate my cycle. When it was almost time to leave, I packed for a two-week stay with clothes and snacks.<\/p>\n\n

At U.S. customs, the process went smoothly. The officers just asked, \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s the purpose of your visit?\u201d
U.S Global Egg Donation had already prepared a simple travel itinerary for me to show them.
During those 14 days, I was able to explore, eat, and travel \u2014 I even went to Disneyland! I just went back to the clinic whenever they scheduled a checkup. And if you don\u2019t know how to use Uber, the staff can help arrange transportation.<\/p>\n\n

[After Arriving in the U.S.]<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

When I first landed, LuanLove\u2019s staff picked me up at the airport and brought me to the accommodation. The next day, I had my first blood test and ultrasound, and the nurse taught me how to administer my injection shots properly.
Christine from U.S Global Egg Donation was amazing \u2014 she even took me to local Asian supermarkets, SeaWorld, Disneyland, and Hollywood Boulevard! It honestly felt like I had a personal guide.<\/p>\n\n

Over the next few days, I followed the schedule closely, taking ovulation and trigger shots, and I would send short videos to the clinic to make sure I was doing it correctly. The day before surgery, I had to fast (no food or water). At the hospital, I changed into a gown, received anesthesia, and fell asleep almost instantly. When I woke up, it was over!
The doctor told me they had retrieved 27 eggs, which was a great result for my age.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I did feel some bloating the next day, but it subsided after about 3\u20134 days. The doctor reminded me to avoid starchy, salty, and sugary foods to reduce water retention. If I felt any discomfort, I could contact them on WeChat, and they responded quickly every time. <\/p>\n\n

A few days later, as I was preparing to fly home, I received my $7,000 USD compensation directly in my Taiwan bank account. Honestly, this experience was unforgettable. I got to visit the U.S., earn money, and most importantly, help someone else create a family. It felt deeply meaningful \u2014 and yes, I jokingly called myself a \u201clittle rich mama\u201d afterward. <\/p>\n\n
