Donor Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Compensation?
Beverly Hills Egg Donation, Arizona donors receive $10,000 for their first donation. For subsequent cycles, donors receive $12,000. Special fees may be offered to egg donors who meet extraordinary standards.
Q: Who Can Be an Egg Donor?
We look for nonsmoking women ages 20-29 with no major genetic/hereditary illnesses. Our donors are currently attending or have graduated from college, lead a healthy lifestyle, and are genuinely committed to the egg donation process.
Q: If I am accepted into the Beverly Hills Egg Donation, Arizona program, how long will it take for me to be matched with a recipient?
Because choosing an egg donor is an extremely personal and emotional decision, the time it takes for a donor to be matched with the right family varies. It can happen immediately, or it may take a month or longer.
Q: Will the Recipients Know Who I Am?
Many recipients — also called intended parents — hope to give their donor-conceived child the option of meeting the donor when s/he reaches the age of 18, so being open to that is generally preferred. Some recipients request a brief Zoom with their prospective donor (without exchanging last names or contact information), while others ask to see a short video of the donor to get a sense of her personality and mannerisms. We strongly encourage (but do not require) our donors to participate in these calls and make these videos to facilitate the matching process.
In some cases, both recipient and donor want to have an “open donation” and exchange names and contact information, while in other situations, all parties agree on an anonymous cycle. We are happy to speak with you about your options and what feels right for you.
Q: Once I’m Matched, How Long Will the Cycle Take?
From the day you accept the match until the eggs are retrieved, cycles generally take 3-4 months. If you have donated eggs before, the cycle may be completed more quickly.
Q: Will I Have to Travel for My Donation?
If you decide to accept a match with a recipient whose clinic is out of your local area, you will be required to travel. All of your travel expenses will be taken care of. Some of your appointments can usually be done at a doctor's office near you. You will likely need to be near the clinic where the retrieval is taking place for a week to 10 days. If you accept a travel match, Beverly Hills Egg Donation, Arizona will make your arrangements, and you will be allowed to bring a companion with you at no cost to you.
Q: How Do I Apply to be a Beverly Hills Egg Donation, Arizona Donor?
