Throughout your ovum (egg) donation program, the intended parents of the child will reimburse certain expenses that you incur. In addition, if you undergo an egg retrieval and have at least 3 mature follicles, you may be compensated for the inconvenience, discomfort, and health risks associated with the ovum (egg) retrieval, if you wish. You may solely decide and/or negotiate the amount of your compensation. IARC® will provide information about and assist you in choosing a reasonable amount of compensation to request if you want such help. Many infertile couples, however, have limited financial resources or are otherwise restricted in their ability to pay compensation. Therefore, we encourage you to strongly consider donating without compensation if you are so inclined. If you prefer to be compensated, the majority of your compensation will be mailed from IARC®'s business office to your home within two (2) business days of the date of the egg retrieval. A small amount will be held in reserve until we receive and reconcile your required travel receipts.
