The need of egg donors

The problem of infertility is growing year to year. Couples who are suffering from infertility or any other medical problem which prevents them to give birth to a child are turning towards surrogacy process. However, it is a known fact that traditional surrogacy is prohibited in many states. Therefore, the intended parents who wish to complete their family with a biological child are turning towards gestational surrogacy method. Most of the sterile couples take help from the surrogate agency to find the suitable surrogate to achieve their dream. The surrogate agency screens every proxy to match the requirements of intended couples and arrange for a meeting with substitute upon special request of the intended parents. Once the surrogate and intended couples are happy with their partnership, agency will make a contract between both in order to proceed further. This contract plays a significant role in entire process of surrogacy.

Since many state law permits the surrogacy process only with gestation treatment, In-vitro fertilization treatment is required to achieve pregnancy. In this treatment the intended mother ovum is fertilized with the intended father sperm outside the body to form a zygote. If the couples are suffering from infertility i.e., inability to produce quality sperm or ova, donors come to the picture. However, if the sterile couples use donors for IVF treatment, couples need to reimburse the contributors. Sometimes, if a male is failed to produce quality sperm, male donor sperm is used to fertilize the intended mother ovum. If female is failed to produce quality ova, then female contributor’s ova is used to form zygote. However, if both failed to produce quality reproductive hormones, then both male and female contributor’s sperm and ova is used to form the zygote.

The compensation paid to the donor depends upon several factors. If the sterile couple use both male and female contributors they need to pay both. If the couples are searching for a particular quality of sperm or egg then, they have to pay extra compensation. All these things are mentioned in the contract made between the couples and surrogate. Normally, the compensation paid to egg donors range from $5,000 to $10,000. However, the compensation may vary depending upon the place, previous donation made by the contributors and ethnic diversity. The compensation may go high if the sterile couples look for a specific set of character and personality in contributors.

The agencies also search for the best donors upon the request of intended parents. They arrange a meeting between the contributors and donors where the compensation paid to them can be discussed. If sterile couple needs to have their own biological problems in spite of their medical condition, they need to opt for a best surrogate and best donor to achieve their dreams and lead their family life happily.
