At The Egg Donor Agency in San Diego, we're incredibly proud of our donors. These amazing women come from all walks of life, but they share one important quality: the desire to help others build their families. We asked some of our donors to share their experiences, and we're excited to share their stories with you!
"I was nervous when I first applied to be an egg donor. I had so many questions! But from my very first phone call with the team at The Egg Donor Agency in San Diego, I felt supported. They explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed.
The medication part wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Yes, I had to give myself shots, but the nurses taught me how to do it properly, and I got the hang of it quickly.
What I wasn't prepared for was how emotional I would feel after the donation. Not in a sad way, but knowing I helped a couple who had been trying for years to have a baby... that feeling is indescribable. The compensation was great for my student loans, but honestly, the best part was the thank you letter I received from the intended parents. I'm so glad I did this."
"I've completed three donation cycles with The Egg Donor Agency, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. As a mom myself, I know the joy that children bring, and I wanted to help others experience that joy.
What keeps me coming back to this agency is how well they treat their donors. They respect my time, work around my schedule whenever possible, and check in regularly to see how I'm feeling. The compensation has helped me start my own small business, which was a dream I didn't think I could achieve for many more years.
My advice to new donors: follow the instructions carefully, ask questions when you're unsure, and remember why you're doing this. The temporary discomfort is nothing compared to the gift you're giving."
"Being an egg donor wasn't something I had thought about until my cousin struggled with infertility. Seeing her pain made me want to help others in similar situations.
The screening process was thorough, which I appreciated because it showed me the agency takes health seriously. The staff was friendly throughout the whole process, from the initial interview to the final follow-up after my retrieval.
Recovery was quicker than I expected! I took one day off work and was back to normal activities within 48 hours. The compensation helped me pay off my car, which was a huge relief.
The best part was receiving a bracelet from the intended parents with a note saying I'd given them hope again. I wear it often as a reminder that small actions can make big differences in people's lives."
"After my first donation, I knew I wanted to donate again. The process was so well-organized, and I felt like I was treated as a person, not just a donor.
What surprised me most was how flexible the agency was with my demanding work schedule. They scheduled monitoring appointments early in the morning so I wouldn't have to miss work, and the coordinator always responded quickly to my texts when I had questions about the medications.
The second time around was even easier because I knew what to expect. The compensation has helped me save for a down payment on my first home, something that would have taken years longer without this opportunity.
I've recommended egg donation to several friends because my experience was so positive. It's not for everyone, but for those who are eligible, it's an amazing way to help others while also helping yourself."
"I researched several agencies before choosing EDA in San Diego, and I'm so glad I did! From day one, they were transparent about the process, the risks, and the timeline.
During the medication phase, I did experience some bloating and mood swings, but the staff had prepared me for these side effects and checked in regularly. The retrieval procedure itself was quick – I was nervous, but it was over before I knew it.
What meant the most to me was learning that my donation resulted in a successful pregnancy. The agency shared this news (with the parents' permission) and I cried happy tears! The compensation certainly helped with my graduate school expenses, but knowing I helped create a family – that's the real reward.
If you're considering becoming an egg donor, I highly recommend this agency. They treat donors with respect and care, which makes all the difference."
