Why Colorado Pays Above Average
Colorado offers above-average egg donor compensation driven by a growing fertility industry and strong demand from intended parents.
Colorado has 8 fertility clinics reporting to the CDC, all 8 of which run donor-egg programs. Monitoring is the part of a cycle that takes up most of your time — 10 to 15 visits over a few weeks, all in person — so a program within reach mostly decides how much of that time you spend traveling.
