How to Get Paid for Donating Your Eggs

Giving the gift of your eggs to a woman with fertility problems can be both emotionally and financially rewarding. Some women's ovaries don't produce healthy, viable eggs, so using an egg donor is the only way they can become pregnant and carry a baby to term. There is a time and medical commitment involved, and it's no easy decision to make. Luckily, if you do decide to donate your eggs, you can be financially compensated for your willingness to assist.
