What To Expect as an Egg Donor

Once your egg donor application is reviewed and you meet our initial egg donor requirements, including fertility hormone testing and prescreening, you’ll be approved to join Creative Love’s Florida egg donation program and become available for matching with intended parents.

Congratulations! You’ve been selected by intended parents through Creative Love’s Florida egg donation program. Our team will contact you to confirm your availability and interest in proceeding with the egg donation cycle. You may accept or decline the match. Before accepting, please ensure you can commit to the full egg donation process, including medical screening, fertility medications, monitoring appointments, and egg retrieval.

As part of Creative Love’s Florida egg donation program, you’ll complete a psychological evaluation with a PhD-level psychologist specializing in egg donation. Screening includes an MMPI or PAI personality assessment to evaluate emotional readiness, psychological health, and suitability for the egg donation process.

As part of Creative Love’s Florida egg donation program, you’ll complete medical and genetic screening at the IVF fertility clinic. Your egg donor evaluation includes bloodwork, genetic testing, drug and infectious disease screening, an ovarian ultrasound, and a physician examination. Your IVF nurse will explain the egg donation process, fertility medications, and treatment schedule while answering your questions.

As part of our Florida egg donation program, you’ll review your egg donor legal agreement with an independent attorney paid for by the intended parents. The contract outlines your responsibilities, egg donor compensation, insurance coverage, and travel expenses. Your attorney will explain the terms, answer questions, and request changes before all parties sign the agreement.

Your IVF fertility clinic will provide an egg donation cycle calendar, medication instructions, and injection training. You’ll follow your fertility medication schedule and attend all required IVF monitoring appointments. Creative Love’s Florida egg donation team will provide personalized guidance and support throughout your cycle.

You will typically start the cycle with birth control pills which is considered a down regulation medication for approximately 8 to 10 days.

During your egg donation cycle, you’ll administer fertility hormone injections for approximately 10–12 days to stimulate your ovaries to develop multiple mature eggs for retrieval. Your IVF fertility clinic will monitor your response and adjust medications as needed.

During your egg donation cycle, you’ll attend approximately 4–8 IVF monitoring appointments for bloodwork to measure hormone levels and transvaginal ultrasounds to track ovarian follicle growth. Your fertility clinic will monitor your response to stimulation medications and adjust treatment as needed before egg retrieval.

During your egg donation cycle, you’ll receive a final trigger injection of hCG or Lupron, typically 34–36 hours before egg retrieval. This fertility medication helps prepare your eggs for final maturation before the IVF egg retrieval procedure.

Your egg retrieval procedure will take place at the intended parents’ IVF fertility clinic. If traveling out of state, you’ll typically arrive 4–5 days before retrieval for final monitoring appointments. Under sedation or anesthesia, the fertility specialist retrieves your eggs using an ultrasound-guided needle. Creative Love’s Florida egg donation team will coordinate your travel, including expenses for a travel companion, and provide support throughout the process.

Your egg donor compensation is secured in a trust account before fertility stimulation injections begin. You’ll receive $500 on your first day of injections, with the remaining compensation released upon confirmation of egg retrieval. For traveling egg donors, airfare, hotel accommodations, per diem, and Uber or rental car and gas expenses are covered, with applicable travel funds provided before departure.

If additional egg donation expenses are owed, please submit your receipts to Creative Love within one week of egg retrieval. Our Florida egg donation agency will process eligible expense reimbursements and make a direct deposit to your bank within five days of receiving your receipts.
