Egg Donation
Program

At ALVIA, we welcome women between the ages of 21 and 28 who are interested in becoming egg donors and helping another family achieve their dream of having a child.
To qualify for egg donation, it's important to be in good physical and mental health. We also consider your medical history, reproductive health, height, and weight. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the factors fertility specialists use to assess potential risks associated with ovarian stimulation and medical procedures.
Not sure whether you meet all the requirements? That's completely okay! You can start by completing our initial application, and your dedicated coordinator will be happy to walk you through the next steps.
Before beginning a donation cycle, every potential donor undergoes the necessary medical screenings. Final eligibility is determined by a fertility specialist based on your individual health and medical results.

This is one of the most common and understandable questions women have when considering egg donation.
During each menstrual cycle, a group of follicles begins developing in your ovaries. In a natural cycle, typically only one follicle reaches ovulation, while the others stop developing.
During an egg donation cycle, fertility medications help multiple follicles from that same group mature at the same time. The mature eggs are then collected during a procedure called egg retrieval.
In other words, ovarian stimulation works with the follicles recruited during your current cycle rather than using up your entire lifetime supply of eggs.
Before your donation cycle begins, you'll undergo the necessary medical screenings, and your fertility specialist will explain the procedure, potential risks, and any considerations specific to your health.
Our priority is to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident in your decision every step of the way.

We understand that medical procedures can feel intimidating, especially if you're considering egg donation for the first time.
The egg retrieval procedure is typically performed under IV sedation or anesthesia, so you generally won't experience pain during the procedure.
The retrieval itself usually takes about 15–30 minutes, although the exact timing may vary.
Afterward, you may experience some temporary bloating, mild cramping, lower abdominal discomfort, or fatigue. These symptoms typically improve over the following few days.
Throughout your donation journey, your ALVIA coordinator will stay in touch, help with logistics, and support you during your recovery.

We truly appreciate the time, commitment, and care that every donor brings to the egg donation process.
Depending on the specific program and agreed-upon terms, egg donor compensation may be up to $20,000.
Your compensation amount will be discussed and confirmed before your medical cycle begins, so you'll have a clear understanding of the financial arrangements before making a commitment.
Your dedicated coordinator will walk you through the details of your program and answer any questions you may have about compensation and payment timelines.

We know that becoming an egg donor takes time and may involve traveling to another city or state. That's why we do our best to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
ALVIA arranges and covers the medical screenings, accommodations, and travel within the United States that are included in your donation program.
If your donation cycle requires you to travel, we'll coordinate the dates with you in advance and help arrange transportation and accommodations near the fertility clinic.
We'll go over all the details before your program begins, so you'll know exactly what to expect and which expenses are covered.
Our goal is to take care of the logistics so you can focus on your health, comfort, and well-being.

Every egg donation journey is a little different, so timelines can vary. However, we want you to have a clear idea of what the process typically looks like.
Step 1: Preparation and Medical Screening (Approximately 1.5–2 Months)
Once you've submitted your application and received preliminary approval, the medical screening process begins.
One of the key steps is genetic testing, and results may take several weeks to come back. Depending on the fertility clinic's requirements and the intended parents' preferences, additional tests or medical consultations may be needed.
Once all required test results are available and you've been medically cleared, we'll coordinate the start of your donation cycle based on your menstrual cycle and the clinic's schedule.
Preparation may take longer if a match with intended parents has not yet been finalized.
Step 2: Your Donation Cycle (Typically Up to 3 Weeks)

• 10–12 days — Ovarian stimulation. You'll take fertility medications prescribed by your doctor while the medical team monitors follicle development through ultrasounds and bloodwork.
• Approximately 2 days — Final preparation for egg retrieval. Your fertility specialist will carefully time the final stages of egg maturation and schedule your retrieval procedure.
• Egg retrieval day. Your mature eggs will be collected at the fertility clinic under sedation or anesthesia.
• Up to 5 days — Planned recovery and follow-up. We allow time for you to stay near the clinic so your medical team can monitor your recovery and make sure you're doing well. The actual length of your recovery and follow-up will depend on your doctor's recommendations.

Throughout the entire process, your ALVIA coordinator will help manage your schedule, travel arrangements, and communication with the clinic.
We'll also explain in advance when you'll need to be at the clinic and which parts of the process may be completed closer to home.

ALVIA works with fertility clinics across the United States to help coordinate egg donation programs for intended parents.
Depending on program availability, donation cycles may take place at clinics in New York and California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, and Del Mar.
Your specific clinic and location will depend on the donation program, medical requirements, and the fertility clinic working with the intended parents.
We'll always let you know where your procedure will take place ahead of time, discuss scheduling with you, and help coordinate any necessary travel.
We want you to feel comfortable knowing where you'll be receiving care, who your fertility specialist will be, and whom you can contact whenever you have questions.

Yes! Repeat egg donation may be possible if you're medically eligible and your fertility specialist determines that another cycle is appropriate for you.
Some women choose to donate again after a positive first experience. However, eligibility for another cycle is always evaluated individually.
Before a repeat donation, your fertility specialist will review your previous stimulation results, recovery, ovarian health, and overall medical history.
Professional guidelines recommend limits on the total number of egg donation cycles to help minimize cumulative medical risks.
At ALVIA, your health and well-being always come first. Repeat donation is never an obligation, and the decision is entirely yours, in consultation with your medical team.

We understand that becoming an egg donor is a deeply personal decision, and protecting your privacy is an important part of our commitment to you.
After you submit your application, your information is stored in ALVIA's donor database. We use it to review your application, identify potential donation opportunities, and coordinate with participating fertility clinics.
During the matching process, certain information from your donor profile may be shared with intended parents through the clinics. The information shared depends on the stage of the process, applicable consent requirements, and relevant privacy laws.
Medical and genetic information is considered sensitive personal information and is handled with additional care.
Before participating in a donation program, you'll have the opportunity to review the applicable privacy terms and consent documents.
For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.
