The Egg Donor Process
What to Expect as an Egg Donor in New York
Takes3 is not a medical clinic; medical testing and procedures are carried out at accredited fertility centers. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve built strong relationships with some of the top fertility and IVF clinics across New York, ensuring every egg donor receives exceptional care and support throughout the process.
The egg donor process begins with an online application and initial screening to determine if you meet eligibility criteria. If you’re selected for our egg donor program in NYC, the entire process takes about three months from start to finish and includes thorough medical, genetic, and psychological screenings.
After passing screenings, you will start the egg donation cycle, often beginning with birth control pills and then Lupron to temporarily suppress your cycle. Then, you will begin the stimulating hormone medication, which lasts 12-14 days. During this time, you will have quick early morning monitoring appointments to track your progress.
The exact egg retrieval date is confirmed two days before the procedure. The retrieval itself takes about twenty minutes. You’ll arrive approximately an hour beforehand and can go home about an hour afterward. You’ll receive light sedation, and while the procedure isn’t painful, you’ll be instructed to rest for 24 hours afterward.
Throughout the entire egg donor process, you will receive support and guidance from our team to ensure your safety, comfort, and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Becoming an Egg Donor
How much do egg donors make in NYC and New York?
Takes3 offers $15,000 for first-time egg donors, payable immediately after the retrieval of donor eggs. The compensation is paid in one lump sum. For repeat egg donors, the compensation is $18,000.
How long is the egg donor process?
From matching with recipients to egg retrieval, the egg donation journey typically takes about three months, but can vary depending on certain factors.
Will I meet the egg donor recipients?
Most of our matches are mutually anonymous; egg donors don’t meet their recipients and the recipients do not meet the egg donors (although they see photos and have information about them). Takes3 finds out from both the recipient and egg donor what kind of relationship is desired, and we make arrangements accordingly.
Am I eligible to be an egg donor if I am using birth control?
Yes. You may be instructed to go off hormone-type birth control (such as the pill, Mirena IUD) when you are matched. But until then, it is fine to be on birth control. If you use the Depo shot, you will need to go off it a few months in advance.
Does it cost anything to be an egg donor in New York?
No! All your medical, insurance, and travel (if required) costs are paid for in advance.
