The cost of egg donation with Cofertility
We know IVF and egg donation are big expenses for families, and we want to help you financially plan for your donation journey.
Fresh egg donation
The total cost of a fresh egg donation journey with Cofertility includes a Match Initiation Fee, coordination fee, and third-party expenses. In addition to these costs, clinic-dependent medical expenses will vary based on your chosen clinic, and if your donor needs to travel for any part of the process, you will be responsible for those expenses. While we don’t control these costs, we can help you estimate them once your clinic and donor are selected.

- Cofertility’s Coordination FeeSupports match management and the screening of qualified donors, including AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) and genetic testing

Frozen egg donation
In a frozen egg donation journey with Cofertility, the donor completes her cycle prior to matching, with half of the retrieved eggs available for donation and the other half reserved for her own future family-building. Pricing follows a per-egg model.
The match cost includes:
- All costs associated with the coordination of the cycle
- All costs associated with the donor’s screening, medication, and retrieval
This is the all-in cost of receiving frozen eggs—no hidden fees or extra charges.
For example, if the donor has 7 frozen eggs available, the cost would be $24,500 (7 eggs x $3,500 per egg). The total cost is just the price of the eggs, there’s no extra fees or hidden charges.
can greatly influence your total cost:
- Clinic-dependent embryo creation expensesClinic-dependent embryo creation expenses
- ShippingCovers the cost of shipping the frozen eggs to your clinic if you don’t choose to fertilize at the clinic where the retrieval took place
- Additional Genetic TestingCovers any additional or single gene genetic testing your clinic may require depending on the carrier status of the sperm source and egg donor
We can help you estimate potential costs once you’ve selected your clinic.
All listed pricing is in USD. Additional taxes or fees may apply based on your location.
Our Guarantee
While some agencies charge extra for any form of a guarantee, Cofertility’s Embryo Guarantee is built into our pricing. We want to help you build your family, so if the eggs you receive don’t result in our minimum guaranteed embryos, we’ll rematch you for free.
If your donor doesn’t clear genetic screening—we’ll rematch you. If your donor isn’t medically approved by your physician—we’ll rematch you. If you fall short of the guaranteed number of embryos—we’ll rematch you.
In short, if anything outside your control prevents you from reaching the minimum number of embryos you’re guaranteed, we’ll re-match you for free — up to three total matches.
Cofertility’s egg sharing model enables women to freeze their own eggs at no cost by donating half of what they retrieve to your family. This model eliminates donor cash compensation and offers a more collaborative, empathy-driven experience.
Traditional guarantee programs in fresh donation are rare, and when they exist, they’re typically priced as premium packages.
We know that every intended parent’s goals are different. One retrieval may be enough to build your family, or you may want the option to do another cycle with the same or a new donor. That’s why our guarantee focuses on embryos, which are ultimately what we hope will lead to a healthy baby, not a fixed egg count.
When you match with a donor in our fresh egg donation program, you’ll sign a formal agreement with Cofertility and pay the Cofertility Coordination Fee. This fee is backed by our Embryo Guarantee, which ensures you’ll receive at least two blastocyst-stage embryos across a maximum of three total retrievals.
The guarantee is detailed in your agreement and covers the following scenarios:
- The donor does not pass her initial screening
- The retrieval is canceled or yields no mature eggs
- The cycle results in fewer than two blastocyst-stage embryos
- If you’re eligible for a rematch, you’ll be responsible for the clinic and third-party expenses related to your new donor’s screening and retrieval, but Cofertility’s fees will be waived.
Please note that outcomes related to embryo transfer, testing (e.g., PGT), or pregnancy are not covered.
When you match with a donor in our frozen egg donation program, you’ll be covered under our Embryo Guarantee, which ensures that you’ll receive a certain number of usable blastocyst-stage embryos in line with the number of eggs that you received as part of your original match:
- 6–9 eggs in your initial match: 1 embryo guaranteed
- 10–15 eggs in your initial match: 2 embryos guaranteed
- 16–21 eggs in your initial match: 3 embryos guaranteed
- 22+ eggs in your initial match: 4 embryos guaranteed
If you end up with fewer embryos than what you were guaranteed, we’ll rematch you with a new donor, either with a full or partial cohort of eggs, at no additional cost.
Financing Options
While some agencies charge extra for any form of a guarantee, Cofertility’s Embryo Guarantee is built into our pricing. We want to help you build your family, so if the eggs you receive don’t result in our minimum guaranteed embryos, we’ll rematch you for free.
