Egg Donation Costs
There are two types of egg donor programs: fresh egg programs and frozen egg programs. Each program operates differently and each has its own benefits and drawbacks. Which program will be the best choice for you will depend on your individual situation. Our staff is available to offer guidance but you must discuss the pros and cons with your doctor based on your medical profile and timing needs.
FROZEN EGG PROGRAM
Until recently, the only egg donor programs have been “fresh cycle” programs in which the recipients contract directly with an egg donor arranged through an agency or IVF clinic. In those programs, the recipients are responsible for all the costs and risks involved in the stimulation/retrieval cycle. Recent advances in egg freezing technology now allow for eggs to be frozen and offered for donation.
The frozen egg program is offered by American Egg Bank, LLC, a Texas limited liability company.
10 FROZEN EGG PACKAGE | $12,000+ |

Price will vary depending on donor selected.
The AEB 10 egg package fee includes all the costs of obtaining the frozen eggs, such as donor recruitment and the donor’s fee, psychological assessment, criminal background check, genetic screening, and psychological counseling costs. Unlike a “fresh cycle” retrieval, the frozen egg package fee also includes all the medical and legal costs incurred in connection with the donation.
Recipients will pay their IVF doctor separately for the cost of fertilizing the eggs, storage of their frozen embryos, and the later frozen embryo transfer to the recipient mother or a surrogate.
FRESH CYCLE PROGRAM
In a fresh cycle egg donation program, the donor completes a stimulation/retrieval cycle specifically for the intended parents with their IVF doctor and they will receive all the eggs retrieved in that cycle. THESE AMOUNTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARGES BY YOUR DOCTOR FOR THE EGG RETRIEVAL OR YOUR IVF TREATMENT.
Our fresh cycle donors are offered through Egg Donor Specialists, a division of Surrogacy Specialists of America, Inc.
