Access to Donor Database

Why Choose Egg Donation?

If a couple cannot be helped through procedures such as in vitro fertilization, they may want to consider using donor eggs.
Donor eggs -- and sometimes donor embryos -- allow an infertile woman to carry a child and give birth.
You might be a candidate for donor eggs if you have any of these conditions:

Premature ovarian failure, a condition in which menopause has started much earlier than usual, typically before age 40

Diminished ovarian reserve, meaning that the eggs that you have are of low quality;
this is often caused by age, because fertility drops off steeply after 40.

Genetically transmitted diseases that could be passed on to your child

A previous history of failure with IVF, especially when your doctor thinks that the quality of your eggs may be the problem

Working with an Egg Donor

The use of donor eggs is becoming more common, especially among women over 40. In 2010, about 11% of all assisted reproduction techniques used donor eggs. And the technique enjoys the highest success rate of all fertility procedures. In addition, women using fresh embryos (not frozen), have a higher chance of getting pregnant in each cycle.

The process starts by contacting NWED for the assistance in finding an Egg Donor. Pictures along with the Donor's application are accessible on-line through our special access area. You may view donor's pictures and profile free of charge. If we do not currently have the specific ethnicity or donor you are looking for, just let our office know what criteria you are looking for (eye, hair, height, ethnicity, etc.) and we would be more than happy advertise for you (anonymously) free on your behalf for obligation to use our agency.

Most of our Donors are willing to travel to your area for the retrieval unless otherwise stated on our website. The Intended Parent will then make their selection on which Donor they would like to work with and notify NWED.

NWED will contact the Donor chosen, making sure the time frame works for her and that she wishes to proceed with the cycle. Once the Donor confirms her availability we will send your Physician the Donor’s profile and past cycle medical records, if she is a repeat donor, for your Physician's approval. Upon Physician's approval and both parties agreeing to proceed forward, the "Ovum Donation Services Agreement With Intended Parents" contract will be sent out first to the Donor and then to the Intended Parents.

Intended Parents have 7 days to return the signed contracts, along with fees due, to NWED. The Donor will begin her Egg Donor process first by going to the appointed Psychologist for her psychological evaluation, as well as taking the MMPI test.

Why Choose Surrogacy?

You may consider a surrogate for several reasons:

Medical problems with your uterus

You had a hysterectomy that removed your uterus

Conditions that make pregnancy impossible or risky for you, such as severe heart disease

You tried but couldn't get pregnant with a variety of assisted-reproduction techniques, such as IVF.

You are not be able to adopt a child, perhaps because of their age and marital status

You are a single man, or a gay couple, who wishes to start a family and raise a child

Working with a Surrogate

Surrogacy is a process by which a woman agrees to become pregnant by embryo transfer for another individual or couple, commonly referred to as the intended parents. Surrogacy, particularly gestational surrogacy, is a form of IVF whereby the embryo is transferred to a woman other than the egg donor. The process of using a gestational surrogate to help build your family typically involves two-steps.

Development of the embryos by IVF (in vitro fertilization).
>Replacement of the embryos in the gestational carrier.

At Nation Wide Egg Donation & Surrogacy, we specialize in providing customized advice, support and consultation to help intended parents find a gestational surrogate. We help you find and/or screen a surrogate mother and provide legal consultation referrals to specialized reproductive health lawyers and act as liaison for you and your surrogate for the full term of her pregnancy.

Egg Donor Cycle Fees

Ovum Donor's Compensation: Variable
Since we cannot "price set" a donors compensation we can only "suggest" to donors to charge between $8,000-$15,000 for participation. If a Donor's compensation is above your price point we will ask your selected donor if she is willing to negotiate her compensation to a lower amount at your request.

NWED Agency Fee: $7,000 ($8000 starting 03/01/2026)
Our goal is to see you through the egg donation process from beginning to transfer! Our agency fee includes (non-medical) pre-screening, case management, Donor required medical appointments, test results follow up, Donor/Companion travel arrangements and Legal Contracts for the Donor and Recipient Couple. We coordinate virtually every aspect of the Egg Donation cycle with your Fertility Center and Donor from start to finish to ensure a successful, streamlined process.

NWED Split Cycle Fee: $4500 per Couple (not available at all Fertility Centers)
A split/ shared cycle is where two Couple shares the Eggs retrieved from a single egg donation and the expense. In a shared cycle the Donor must have donated previously and have had results that were good enough to be approved for sharing. We coordinate the required medical appointments, test results follow up, Donor/Companion travel arrangements and two Legal Contracts for the Donor and Two Recipient Couples Contracts. Our Split Cycle Agency Fee is a flat fee and we work hand in hand with your Donor and Fertility Center to coordinate a successful, streamlined Egg Donation Process.

Donor Hold Fee (Optional): $500
We understand that selecting your donor is a huge decision to make and encourage our couples to not feel rushed or pressured into selecting their donor. We offer a $500 hold fee charge that is non-refundable which allows our couples a 7 day hold on the donor of their choice. We will then put the $500 hold fee toward the agency fee. The $500 is per "donor hold" and is not transferable to another donor or couple.

Donor Complication Insurance: $400
Covers the Donor if any complications were to occur up to $150,000.

Psychological Evaluation & MMPI Test: $500
A one hour Psychological Evaluation with an appointed Psychologist and administration of Donor's MMPI test.

Egg Donor Expense Fund: $1000
An expense fund is developed to pay for the Donor's expenses related to participation in the program. This includes but is not limited to $.73 per mile traveled to and from appointments, hotel fees (if applicable), childcare, bridge tolls, and loss of wages from work due to participating in her donor cycle. Any funds remaining in expense account after Donor's cycle is finished, and expense account is closed out, will be refunded to Recipient Couple.

Outside Monitoring (local medical appointments): $1,500
If Donor is not local to your area she will most likely require 2-3 local monitoring appointments near where she lives. These will typically consist of ultrasounds and blood work. Each appointment will be approximately $500 depending on what test your physician is ordering for your Donor as well as how many times she is required to go in before she travels to the Intended Parent Fertility Center location for the egg retrieval.

Legal Contract Review (if required by your Fertility Center): $500
Some fertility centers require an independent reproductive attorney to examine the binding agreements required for assisted reproduction. This ensures that all parties understand their legal rights and obligations.

Travel Account: Variable
If Donor needs to travel to Intended Parent's state for retrieval (approximate cost of $5,000 based on 8-9 days of travel, distance, date and destination). This account includes expenses for Donor's daily food allowance ($75/day), Companion's food allowance ($200 total), hotel accommodations, round trip airfare, and rental car or Uber/Lyft transportation.

Approximate Total: $23,900
