Detailed explanation of the 7 steps of egg donation in the United States

Is the egg donation process in the United States complicated? Most women know nothing about overseas egg donation and have the same question…
How much is the overseas subsidy/nutrition allowance? Full disclosure
The egg donation process in the United States is not complicated at all!
In fact, the egg donation process is similar around the world. It is nothing more than some tests on follicles, ovarian quality, and chromosomes. It is the same as many frozen egg reproductive centers in Taiwan. Some medical examinations are also required. After obtaining the medical report, you can apply for reimbursement of the examination fees abroad.
EggLove cooperates with many assisted reproductive centers in the United States and can help you quickly understand the process of egg donation in the United States!

The process of egg donation in the United States 1. Submit application documents (preliminary review)

  • “With so many egg donors with different genes, how do I know who to donate to?”
  • “Will your donated eggs be fertilized and become embryos?”
In order to protect the future custody rights of the prospective parents, egg donation will be done anonymously, and the egg donor cannot contact the prospective parents who receive the egg donation, so the prospective mother/parents can only make a choice based on your facial features, genes, and your physiological and psychological conditions. Therefore, the information you fill in and the photos you submit for review are very important! The most important conditions are height, blood type, education, whether there are family genetic diseases or genetic genes, etc., as well as your personality, expertise, and characteristics. You need to provide more than 15 to 20 clear photos of your facial features from childhood to the present (half-length and full-length photos)
“Photos” are the key to whether you can successfully pass the first stage of preliminary review!
💡Note: The photo cannot be photoshopped, but the skin can be slightly beautified.
If you are worried that the photos you prepared are not good, don’t worry! Egg Love will help girls who want to go to the United States to donate eggs to take professional and natural beautiful photos. We will arrange outdoor shooting and delivery in the New Taipei City area.
After submitting your application documents, you will receive a result of whether you have passed the preliminary review within about 1 week.
The following are some recommended reference photos for egg donation in the United States:

U.S. Egg Donation Process 2: Physical Health Checkup

Since the American Assisted Reproductive Center does not have a local hospital in Taiwan, doctors will arrange the examination sequence based on age, menstrual cycle, and whether or not the woman has previous egg donation experience.
The doctor will inform the egg donor of the order of the examination items. After passing one examination, the next examination will be carried out. Girls in Taiwan go to the nearest obstetrics and gynecology department and blood test center for examination, and then reimburse according to the receipt amount. During the physical examination of the second stage of the egg donation process in the United States, if there are any questions or consultations, the Egg Love Medical Examination Team will assist.
The inspection sequence is as follows:
  1. Saliva gene test: NT$2,100 (results in 3~4 weeks)
  2. Blood test for four hormones and AMH at the Joint Laboratory: NT$1,000 (results available in 3 days)
  3. Obstetrics and gynecology or reproductive center vaginal ultrasound, follicle: $1,600 TWD (3rd day of menstruation)
  4. Chromosome blood test: NT$5,000~6,000 (results in 1 week) (can be used if already in use)
  5. Infectious diseases and drug, alcohol and nicotine testing: $5,000~6,000 NT dollars

The total cost of physical examinations for egg donation in the United States is approximately NT$16,000.

💡Note: “Physical examination fee”, “airfare fee” and “nutrition fund” will be remitted to the egg donor’s Taiwan account within 10 days after successful egg donation in the United States.

Egg donation process in the United States 3. Take birth control pills for 14 days and antibiotics for 3 days

Because many physical examinations have expiration dates, you need to take birth control pills within one month before going to the United States to donate eggs. Birth control pills are usually taken for 14 days to stabilize the menstrual cycle and allow the ovaries to rest.
💡Note: Contraceptive pills cost about NT$600 and can be reimbursed.

▼ Antibiotics for Sexually Transmitted Diseases – Egg Love American Egg Donation Process
If a girl who wants to donate eggs has sexual intercourse during the physical examination, she will be advised to take preventive medication first.
Take the antibiotic “Rishu Tablets Azithromycin” for the sexually transmitted disease “Chlamydia” for 3 days, wait 12 days for the sterilization to be completed, and then do a test. Otherwise, if a positive reaction is tested in the middle, the hospital will directly cancel the cycle.
💡Note: Antibiotics cost approximately NT$600 and are not reimbursable.

U.S. Egg Donation Process 4. Apply for a U.S. Visa

After passing the medical examination, you can apply online for the US ESTA electronic tourist visa, which allows you to stay in the United States for up to 90 days.
  • Fill in passport information
  • Accommodation address during your stay in the United States
  • Accommodation address during your stay in the United States
The visa result will be issued within 3 days, and you will then need to print out the approval result and show it to the customs.
💕If you have not applied for a US visa, EggAi will also assist egg donors in applying online.

Egg Donation Process in the United States 5. Purchase of Air Tickets + Accommodation Arrangements

Buy your own ticket:
During immigration inspection, U.S. customs will confirm whether the ticket purchaser is the real person, and tourist visa holders are required to carry a certain amount of travel funds to prove that the egg donor is able to travel to the United States, rather than working or doing part-time jobs to earn money. Hospitals will require egg donors to use their own credit card to purchase tickets. The cost of U.S. air tickets ranges from about 50,000 to 90,000, depending on the peak and off-peak seasons.
If you are financially limited, it is recommended that girls first apply to the credit card company to increase the credit limit, adjust the credit card payment time, and use E.Sun or Chinatrust to handle online international remittances, so that international remittances can be directly transferred to Taiwan accounts.
Egg retrieval can be performed within one month after arriving in the United States. After successful retrieval, nutrition money can be collected to pay for air tickets and credit card bills. If you need to reschedule or cancel the retrieval, the egg donor has the right to adjust it.
Accommodation Arrangements:
The hospital will provide accommodation for nearby examinations, with private rooms, where girls can buy ingredients from the nearby market and cook for themselves. If you need to buy ingredients during your stay, you can also use the delivery app to order three meals and nutritional food, which is very convenient.

U.S. Egg Donation Process 6. Preparation before entering the U.S.

After the US ESTA electronic visa exemption is approved, the hospital will arrange a training oral interview for customs, because you need to answer customs questions in English and inform the travel itinerary and accommodation location within 90 days to prove the legality of the travel visa. Egg Love will arrange an online one-on-one training oral interview to let egg donors understand how to face customs and plan a 2-week travel itinerary.

Egg donation process in the United States 7. Arrangements after arriving in the United States

To ensure safe entry, after entering the United States, you can take an Uber to your accommodation to rest, and then go to the hospital the next day for an ultrasound and numerical examination, and sign the contract in person.
The doctor will give the donor medication injections based on her condition, and the nurse will explain on the spot how to use the ovulation-stimulating injections and the time of injection. The donor can take the injections home and inject them on their own.
🔰Remember! Because the drug needs to be refrigerated, make sure you administer it at home to avoid differences in drug efficacy due to temperature, which may affect the growth rate of follicles.

What are the expenses for overseas egg donation? (Taking the example of egg donation in the United States)

The examination fee that needs to be paid for egg donation in the United States is about NT$16,000.
But in addition to donating eggs in the United States, many Taiwanese girls also choose other overseas egg donation options. For example, the benefits of egg donation in Bangkok, Thailand are not inferior to those in the United States!
For egg donation in Bangkok, Thailand, you don’t have to pay for airfare except for airport pick-up and drop-off. You can also stay in a large suite with your partner. However, there are fewer infertile couples going to Thailand, so the matching time will be longer than that of egg donation in the United States. Girls who are not limited by time can also consider egg donation in Thailand.
💕Egg Love cooperates with many overseas IVF centers, which greatly increases the chances of successful egg donation matching!
