Process

After applying for the Fairfax Egg Bank Donor program, Reproductive Care Center’s Donor Coordinator will set up an initial consultation to guide you through the selection process.

Following the initial consultation, potential donors meet with one of our infertility specialists to complete a medical history, physical, vaginal ultrasound, and blood tests. Additionally, a psychological evaluation is performed.

The fertility specialist and Donor Coordinator provide results of testing to the donor egg bank for review. If all requirements are met, the donor is approved to participate in the donor egg program.

RCC’s Donor Coordinator works with donors to coordinate their cycles and to answer any questions regarding the process.

Donors are paid the day of their egg retrieval(s). Currently, Fairfax Egg Bank compensates donors $4,250 per retrieval. Donors may donate up to six times total.
