When it comes to becoming a donor, there are people in the Jewish community who have hesitations about going into a process like this. I’m Jewish, and it's much harder for Jewish couples to find donors that are also Jewish.
If you’re approaching 21 year-olds, who live in a big city, who are paying insane rent, if the incentive is too high, they may do something they’ll regret.įertilityIQ: Did you ever wonder, or visualize, who these people were who were getting your eggs?ĭonor: Yeah, actually. It was here and then it was gone.įertilityIQ: There's a recommended cap of how much a person donating their eggs should get paid, are you aware of that?ĭonor: Yeah, I think it's $10,000, and that’s probably a good idea. I couldn't tell you for the life of me what it was spent on. It was completely frivolous spending, mostly shopping and travel. If you went through the process but they retrieved no eggs, you might end up with nothing.įertilityIQ: Is there anything you bought with the money that you still have and treasure?ĭonor: Absolutely not. I was doing marketing gigs, and you know babysitting, and just trying to figure out what I was going to do next.įertilityIQ: Can you recall what you were paid for each cycle?ĭonor: Yeah, so they paid $8,000 for an egg retrieval but that is only if you had gone through the whole process and they successfully retrieved eggs. I'd finished undergrad, I didn't have like an actual job. I first started doing it when I was 22 or 23 years old. FertilityIQ: How many times have you donated your eggs, and where were you in your life?ĭonor: I’ve done it seven times.
