Embyro Donation
What Does It Cost?
Cost of Embryo Donation
Generally, there is no cost to you for donating your embryos. It is your gift to the family you choose to place with! There may be instances where the clinic or agency may charge a fee for sets of only 1 or 2 embryos.
Some donors are curious about whether or not they can expect reimbursement for some of their IVF or storage expenses. Most programs do not reimburse donors for their IVF expenses or embryo storage costs.
After you have placed your embryos with a family and signed the contractual agreements, the embryos become their responsibility and ongoing storage costs are theirs to pay.
