Our desire to provide lower-cost fresh egg donation options led us to create the Seed program. Learn more about our affordable egg donor program here.
Low-Cost Egg Donor Program
At Family Creations, we want to help everyone achieve their dreams of a family! To make egg donation more affordable, we created the Seed Program — a low-cost egg donor program. Donors who participate in the Seed Program provide fresh donor eggs that maintain an optimal chance of successful transfer, but the cost ends up being similar to that of a frozen donor egg cycle.
How We Make It Work
Donors to the Seed Program have agreed to reduce their compensation to $5,000 — about half of what they would normally receive. We also reduce our standard agency fee by 50% to bring the agency fee for all Seed Program donors to $5,000. All other fees included, the total cost to cycle with a Seed Program donor is under $13,000. To participate in this low-cost egg donor program, a donor must live within 50 miles of your fertility doctor’s office or additional travel fees apply.
