What disqualifies you from being an egg donor?

Common disqualifying factors include active tobacco or nicotine use, current pregnancy or breastfeeding, certain genetic or hereditary conditions, a history of psychiatric hospitalization, receiving most forms of government assistance, a BMI over 32, and having completed 6 or more prior donation cycles.

How much do you actually get paid to donate eggs?

In Kansas, first-time egg donors typically earn $7,000–$12,000 per completed cycle. This is a per-cycle payment, not a salary — most donors complete one or two cycles total.

Is there an age limit to donate eggs?

Yes. Most agencies accept donors between 21 and 31 years old. The upper limit exists because egg quality and ovarian response to stimulation medication decline through the early-to-mid 30s, not because of any legal restriction.

About Kansas

Why Kansas Pays Standard Rates

Kansas offers standard egg donor compensation consistent with national averages. The process and requirements are identical to higher-paying states.

Kansas has 5 fertility clinics reporting to the CDC, 3 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.
