In 2025, the demand for egg donors in the United States continues to rise as more individuals and couples rely on assisted reproduction and surrogacy to build their families. With the increasing use of IVF treatments, delayed parenthood, and growing acceptance of donor programs, fertility clinics are facing a noticeable shortage of qualified egg donors nationwide.
Recent data highlights the strength of this trend. The U.S. donor-egg IVF services market is projected to reach approximately USD 416–420 million in 2025, according to Nova One Advisor and Grand View Research. Across North America, the egg donation market is valued at around USD 0.66 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a 10.06% CAGR from 2025–2033 (Market Data Forecast). On a global scale, the egg donation industry is estimated at USD 3.05 billion in 2025, with continued growth in the years ahead (Metatech Insights).
Despite this rapid market expansion, the availability of diverse and well-matched donors remains limited. As of 2021, nearly 10,000 births per year in the U.S. were from donor-egg IVF—yet the demand for suitable donors still exceeds supply. Many agencies report longer waiting times and increasing requests for specific donor profiles, leading to greater reliance on frozen donor-egg banks and enhanced recruitment programs.
At Surrogacy4All, we’re meeting these challenges head-on. Our agency maintains a large and diverse donor database, ensuring intended parents have access to a wide range of backgrounds and characteristics. By streamlining the matching process and focusing on transparency, we help reduce waiting times and make egg donation accessible, ethical, and stress-free for families in 2025 and beyond.

The egg donation process begins when a potential donor fills out an application form. This includes details about personal background, medical history, lifestyle, and education.
Once the application is received, the fertility clinic or agency reviews it to ensure you meet the basic eligibility criteria, such as:
If you meet these initial requirements, you’ll be invited to move forward with medical and psychological screenings.
Before becoming an approved donor, you’ll undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure you’re physically and emotionally ready for the process. This includes:
These evaluations help confirm that you are a healthy, suitable donor for intended parents.
Once approved, your profile (with non-identifying information) is shared with intended parents. They review donor profiles to find a match based on physical traits, personality, education, or other preferences.
When a match is made, both the donor and intended parents move forward with the legal and medical steps required for the donation cycle.
Before any medical treatment begins, both parties sign a legal contract prepared by reproductive law attorneys. This agreement clearly defines:
The legal agreement ensures that all parties are fully protected and informed before moving forward.
Once the legal process is complete, the donor starts a cycle of fertility medications to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
This phase typically lasts 10–14 days and includes:
During this period, donors are closely monitored to ensure their safety and optimal egg development.
When the eggs reach maturity, a trigger shot is administered to prepare them for retrieval. About 36 hours later, the egg retrieval procedure takes place.
After retrieval, donors typically rest for a short time and can resume light activities within a day or two.
Once the eggs are retrieved, they are fertilized in the lab with sperm from the intended father or a sperm donor to create embryos.
The embryos are then cultured for several days before one or more are transferred into the intended mother’s or surrogate’s uterus. Remaining viable embryos may be frozen for future use.
After donation, donors attend a follow-up appointment to ensure a full recovery. Any minor side effects, like bloating or cramping, usually subside within a few days.
Donors also receive compensation for their time, effort, and commitment, as outlined in the agreement.
At Surrogacy4All, we truly value the generosity and time of every egg and sperm donor who helps intended parents build their families. We offer fair and ethical compensation for your time, effort, and medical procedures involved in the donation process.
Compensation is not a payment for eggs or sperm, but a reimbursement for your time and expenses. The amount depends on factors such as experience, health profile, and location.
All compensation terms are discussed clearly before the process begins, following ASRM guidelines for transparency and compliance.
Your rights, privacy, and wellbeing are our top priorities. Before starting, you’ll receive a clear legal agreement outlining all terms and protections, including:
You’ll also have access to independent legal counsel to ensure complete understanding of your rights.
Surrogacy4All follows all ASRM, FDA, and state regulations to protect donor welfare. Our process ensures:
Becoming a donor is a life-changing act of kindness. At Surrogacy4All, we make sure you’re treated with fairness, care, and complete legal protection—because your generosity helps create families and futures.

“Surrogacy4All made my egg donation journey easy and rewarding. They were always available to answer any questions and made sure I was taken care of. The compensation was fair, and the experience was life changing.” –Irene O. Egg Donor
Most egg donor agencies in the USA are owned and run by lawyers and ex-egg donors.
When you are trying to have your baby, would you rather get reproductive medicine support from a doctor or a lawyer?
Obviously, a physician!
We are a Physician Owned and Managed Agency. We will work jointly with your IVF clinic on the medical support that will be given to you and your egg donor throughout the donation process, to help maximize a successful pregnancy.
This is why so many Intended Parents love our agency!
Becoming a parent is a journey filled with hope, challenges, and profound emotions. For many, the road to family includes navigating the world of egg donation—an experience that can feel daunting and deeply personal. Whether you’re a married couple facing IVF setbacks or an LGBTQ+ couple seeking to grow your family, choosing the right egg donor (and, if needed, a surrogacy partner) is about more than credentials and costs; it’s about finding trust, transparency, and care during one of life’s most pivotal moments.
Each year, the U.S. sees hundreds of thousands of ART/IVF cycles. The latest national summaries from SART/CDC report ~396,000 total cycles in 2022 and even higher activity in 2023, with a substantial share involving donor oocytes/embryos. In short: tens of thousands of U.S. cycles now use donated eggs each year.
Unfortunately, not every “agency” operates with the same standards. Red flags:
When in doubt, verify through official sources and your fertility clinic.
Agencies/establishments that manufacture, store, test, or distribute human reproductive tissues (HCT/Ps) must register with FDA and meet 21 CFR Part 1271 requirements. Registration updates are due annually (December), and unregistered operations risk warning letters and enforcement. Interstate shipping of gametes/embryos squarely triggers FDA jurisdiction. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+2eCFR+2
Key takeaways
If frozen eggs are shipped across state lines, FDA rules apply.
Clinics receiving tissue from unregistered sources can face enforcement, too. U.S. Food and Drug Administration
New York requires a tissue bank license for organizations that procure/process/store/
California regulates tissue banks (including ART facilities and banks serving California patients) under Health & Safety Code, Chapter 4.1, overseen by CDPH Laboratory Field Services (LFS). Out-of-state entities operating in CA are within scope. Penalties can include administrative fines and injunctions. CDPH+2California.Public.Law+2
Agencies that only arrange fresh donor cycles (and do not collect/store/ship frozen eggs) typically don’t need their own tissue bank registration, because the licensed IVF clinic performs the medical procedures and holds the regulatory obligations for tissue handling. Referring donors across state lines for a fresh cycle is generally lawful as long as the agency itself does not handle tissues—however, the clinic must be properly registered/licensed. (Always confirm with your clinic and counsel.)
| State | Likelihood a fresh-cycle donor matching agency needs its own tissue license | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New York | High (or partner with an NYS-licensed tissue bank if any tissue activity is involved) | NY DOH closely regulates reproductive tissue activity. Wadsworth Center+1 |
| California | Moderate–High (depends on activities performed and where patients are served) | CDPH LFS regulates in-state and out-of-state entities operating in CA. CDPH |
| Maryland | Lower/unclear for pure matching | Clinical/lab components clearly regulated; pure matching less explicitly addressed in public guidance. |
| Florida | Higher if medical services are provided | Health facility/clinic regulations may apply depending on the footprint of services. |
Laws change. Always verify with your clinic and check current federal/state rules.
Yes—if (and only if) it’s properly licensed/registered. A single integrated program reduces duplicated contracts, timelines, and finger-pointing between vendors, and it can streamline coordination across: donor screening, legal, escrow, embryo logistics, and surrogate matching.
From your prior criteria and documentation, examples include:
Indian Egg Donors (licensed via DGA) — FDA-registered HCT/P establishment + NYS tissue bank licensure; fresh & frozen donor options and integration with surrogacy services.
EggDonors4All (licensed via DGA) — Same regulatory coverage via DGA; fresh & frozen donors; integrated surrogacy pathways.
Note: Always cross-check the current FDA HCT/P listing and the NYS Tissue Resources database (and clinic affiliations) before you commit. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+1
Fresh Egg Donor Cycle: $18,000–$35,000 (donor compensation, agency, legal; clinic costs are separate)
Frozen Egg Cohort (≈6 oocytes): $16,000–$24,000 (for one cohort + shipping/fees)
Contact us to decide which is better for you – fresh or frozen eggs. We have both options available
Your exact costs depend on clinic protocol, location, insurance, and whether you need preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), ICSI, additional cycles, etc.
Start with your clinic. Which agencies/banks do they routinely work with?
Verify licensing. FDA registration (21 CFR 1271) and state tissue bank requirements where applicable. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+1
Decide fresh vs. frozen. Timeline, cost, and donor availability may push you one way or the other.
Assess support. Look for human, responsive teams with clear points of contact—and real addresses.
Total budget. Model base costs + “what if” add-ons (meds, travel, legal, re-cycles).
One-agency integration. If you also need a surrogate, an integrated (properly licensed) program can reduce risk and friction.

Our team will guide you through every step to confirm eligibility and ensure a comfortable, safe donation process.
Egg donor compensation in the USA varies depending on several factors, including experience, location, and medical background. At Surrogacy4All, first-time egg donors typically receive $5,000–$10,000 per donation cycle, while experienced donors may earn more.
