    1. Would the price of being a surrogate and egg donor be any different than versus just being one or the other? - Gina in TX - Top

    Dear Gina,

    I hope I understand your question correctly. I am
    guessing that you mean "Is the fee separate for an AI surrogate over a gestational surrogate. The average fee paid to a surrogate using her eggs is usually the same price as one using the couples embryos.

    The fee is around 15,000.00. If the surrogate had
    her tubes tied(or ICSI is needed) and a retrieval is performed, she would probably receive an egg donor compensation as well(for going through a medical procedure. I hope this helps.
