Egg Donors and Surrogates


Mon, 05/04/2009 - 09:24 — Elizabeth

If you are looking at possibly using a surrogate or an egg donor to add a baby to your family, the wait may not be as long as in the past. You can thank the struggling economy for the change in wait times. In the past, infertile couples may have had to wait at least 6 months before finding a match. And now, many of the surrogate and egg donor agencies have actually eliminated their wait time completely.

As money gets tight, those applying to become surrogates and egg donors always increase. An egg donor usually can expect to earn $3000-$8000 and surrogates on average earn about $25,000.

Interestingly, ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine) recommends not paying egg donors more than $10,000. However, a donor matching agency in San Diego called; A Perfect Match actually offers $50,000 to egg donors who have high SAT scores.

Sounds like it is a good time for couples interested in using donor or surrogacy services!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
