    4. Hi, I was just wondering if when you donate your eggs, do you get a compensation fee? - Anonymous in CA - Top

    Dear Anonymous,

    Depending on which agency or clinic you are working with you will either receive the egg donor's compensation at the time of donation, or a week or two afterwards. The fees in California vary, between 2,000 to 3,500.
