But if you are working with a clinic or agency that does not typically ask for higher fees, your recipients may move on to another donor if they can’t afford it. Maybe you have some power to negotiate: tell the director of your agency or the clinic nurse that you’d like to make more, and see what they offer. I do not know where you are from, but donors working in the big coastal cities are more likely to get fees over $7,000 than donors in the Midwest, who typically get around $3,000.

All our donors receive the same amount, no matter their education level, looks, ethnic background, or retrieval results. We offer the greatest amount allowed by the ASRM because our donors, for the most part, live in big cities where the cost of living is high. The ASRM first established this limit in 2000 and has not amended it since then, despite the great changes in the state of our economy. The medical component of egg donation has continued to increase in cost, while egg donor compensation has stayed the same for nearly a decade.

The supporting reasons for a higher payment also shouldn't be based on the donor's looks, education or number of eggs retrieved.
