How New York screens egg donors
Donor Concierge’s vetted New York donor agencies all follow the strict standards and guidelines set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and our own Donor Concierge standards.
The FDA requires that egg donors undergo a physical examination and be screened for infectious diseases. At the same time, the ASRM recommends additional screening measures such as psychoeducational counseling, genetic screening, and complete medical history.
The ASRM’s recommendations also include donors:
Be between the ages of 21 and 34
Have good physical health, which is determined through a physical exam, including a pelvic ultrasound
Undergo a psychological evaluation and counseling to ensure that the egg donor understands her role in the family-building process and is emotionally and mentally stable
Navigating New York egg donor costs
Egg donor costs vary on several factors, including location, choice of donor, and which fertility clinic you use. On average, these costs generally fall between $30,000 to $65,000 and include payment for:
Egg donor agency fees
Egg donor compensation
Costs for medical processes, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), ICSI, and frozen embryo transfer
Legal fees
Travel and other expenses
Navigating the costs associated with a donor journey can feel overwhelming. However, there are options available to help make the process easier to afford. Some of these options include fertility treatment loans and grants.

Egg Donation FAQs
Does my donor need to live near my New York fertility clinic?
Your egg donor doesn’t have to live in the same city as your clinic. Your egg donor may undergo her initial monitoring at a nearby clinic, then travel to your New York clinic for her egg retrieval.
What is the difference between a fresh and frozen egg donation cycle?
The primary difference between fresh and frozen egg donation cycles is the need to synchronize the menstrual cycles of the egg donor and recipient. In a fresh egg donation cycle, the egg donor and recipient’s cycles are synchronized so that the fertilized embryo will be quickly transferred into the recipient’s uterus for implantation. In a frozen egg donation cycle, the eggs are retrieved and cryopreserved for later use. Once ready, the frozen eggs are thawed, fertilized, and prepared for IVF.
Will my baby look like me if I use a donor egg?
We do our best to match you with donors who look like they could be a part of your extended family. Maybe a cousin, or a sibling. During your Donor Concierge intake process, you will share pictures of yourself, your partner, and your family with your case manager so that they can keep your physical appearance in mind when curating your potential donors. While no one can guarantee what a baby will look like once they are born (not even families who are conceiving through traditional means), our team will prioritize matching you with donors to whom you feel a connection and resemblance.
