COMPENSATION
What do egg donors receive?
Egg donation is a meaningful commitment of your time, energy, and physical effort. TDC donors are compensated in recognition of that commitment.
Compensation varies based on individual circumstances and is discussed directly with Jossie, the Program Director, during your initial visit.
WHAT IT COVERS
Donor compensation is for your time, travel, appointments, physical demands, and commitment to the process
HOW IT WORKS
Compensation varies for each donor based on factors such as location, travel requirements, prior donation experience, and the specific needs of the match.
WHEN IS IT PAID
Compensation is securely disbursed by the escrow company in full on the day of your egg retrieval.

A note from Jossie
Egg donor applicants are often full of questions. Luckily, I understand them better than most -- I've donated eggs eight times. So when you ask me what the shots feel like, what the monitoring schedule actually looks like, or what goes through your mind on retrieval day, I get it. I have been there.
I have been working in third-party reproduction for almost 20 years, and I have been with The Donor Consultant as Program Director since the beginning. Every donor I work with goes through me directly -- from your first conversation, through screening and matching, through your cycle and beyond.
As a former egg donor, I know firsthand what it means to be on that side of the process. Those experiences are what drive my work today -- to support both donors and intended parents through every step with honesty and genuine care. What I love most is getting to see what happens on the other side. I have watched that happen hundreds of times, and it never gets old.
If you have questions -- about whether you qualify, about what the process involves, about anything -- just ask. That is what I am here for.
With warmth,
Jossie Rinehart
