If you are cleared to donate eggs, you will begin the egg donation process. The egg donation process typically takes several months from start to finish. During this time, you will need to be available for regular appointments. You will also need to take fertility medications to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once the eggs have been retrieved, they will be fertilized with sperm from the intended father and transferred to the intended mother's uterus. If the pregnancy is successful, the intended mother will carry the baby to term and give birth.
The surrogate will undergo a thorough medical evaluation to assess her overall health and fertility. This may include a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests. The surrogate will also undergo a psychological evaluation to assess her emotional readiness for surrogacy. This may include interviews and questionnaires. The surrogate will undergo a background check to identify any criminal or financial problems.
In general, surrogate compensation can range from ($30,000) to ($70,000). However, some surrogates may be paid more or less depending on the factors mentioned above. For example, a surrogate with more experience may be paid more than a surrogate with less experience. Additionally, surrogates in high-cost areas, such as California, may be paid more than surrogates in low-cost areas.

The agency or clinic should provide you with personalized support throughout the egg donation process.
