Fairfax EggBank welcomes egg donors from across the United States through its travel program.

Fairfax EggBank has expanded to additional markets to increase your opportunity to make a difference in the lives of a loving family. Our unique travel program invites potential egg donors from across the United States to apply. Egg donors accepted into the travel program will have the opportunity to travel with a companion to one of our selected partner clinics across the country for the final stages of the donation cycle.

This is a unique opportunity for women who are excellent egg donor candidates, but who reside too far from one of our many partner retrieval clinics.

The screening process begins once you submit your application and it has been reviewed by one of our donor coordinators. You will complete an online information session then have an opportunity to ask questions about the travel program and the donation process during your virtual interview.

As part of the process, we will require you to complete a thorough medical evaluation and mental health screening. Part of your medical screening will be completed locally to you and the other part will be done at one of our partnering clinics, the same clinic where you will eventually complete your donation. Your coordinator will help arrange same-day in and out travel to the clinic. The mental health screening is done virtually with an affiliated counselor.

Cycle Planning

Once approved into the program your clinic coordinator will plan your donation cycle.

Your Fairfax EggBank coordinator will create an accommodation and travel plan for you and your companion. You will be at the retrieval location for about 5-8 days. You must have a companion with you for the retrieval day and the following two days. Your companion must be at least 18 years old and be able to share a hotel room with you.

In addition, donors will be allocated a daily stipend for the duration of their trip, including travel days.

In-Cycle

You will be required to take self-administered injectable medications during your cycle. You will receive instructions on how to administer these medications. Many of these medications will need to be refrigerated. You will receive storing and handling instructions. These medications will need to travel with you as you will be continuing them until the retrieval.

Retrieval Day

Your clinic coordinator will schedule your retrieval day for you when the time is right. While the procedure itself is only about 20 minutes, you should expect to be in the clinic for approximately 2 hours to allow for prep before retrieval and recovery afterwards.

Transportation will be required back to your hotel where you will continue your recovery in comfort, and rest for the remainder of the day. This should be arranged between you and your companion, though your coordinator may recommend options. Your companion is required to be with you throughout the day and night following your procedure.

Post Retrieval

Staff at the clinic will follow up with you on the day following your procedure. You may have an appointment at the clinic two days after the procedure to ensure you are cleared to travel back home.
