What Is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is a process where a woman (known as an egg donor) provides her eggs to help another person or couple achieve pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology.
For many intended parents, donor eggs provide hope when they are unable to conceive using their own eggs. Egg donors play an incredibly meaningful role in helping individuals and couples grow their families.

We offer some of the highest egg donor compensation in the United States, with first-time egg donors receiving $15,000 and experienced egg donors receiving $18,000+. Compensation may vary based on experience, qualifications, and individual circumstances.

How Does Egg Donation Work?
NAFG 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 England, 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, the entire process, once you are matched, 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.
