Verified Reviews

I did a lot of research before picking Same Love Surrogacy as my agency with a surrogate journey. I love that the agency started on the foundation of wanting to help the lgbtq community for those that need help and support in starting a family. I only have positive things to say about my whole experience with the agency and in particular with my coordinator, Mary Magness. She was there for me with any questions that I had and made the whole process very smooth. They matched me with the best couple I could have ever asked for and we created a really great bond throughout the whole journey, and now extending afterwards. Read more...

I was a GC (gestational carrier) surrogate for SLS twice. I had previously worked with another agency, and done an independent journey beforehand, so I can say from my experience that they were a great agency to work with. Every one who works there has some connection with surrogacy. They are kind, knowledgeable, and I believe that they all truly care about everyone they work with. SLS is big on timely communication, clarity, understanding, and trying to make everything work as smoothly as possible for all parties involved. Highly recommend.

I just wrapped up my first journey ad a surrogate in November 2024. Every single person I encountered with Same Love was amazing. My coordinator, Lisa, is nothing short of fantastic- she is so kind, easy to work with, super supportive, literally any and every thing you’d want in a person guiding you through the process. They even arranged for another local coordinator to take me back to the airport after my medical clearance instead of me having to take an uber. I always felt like I was being considered and cared for. i was matched with two incredible people, and the entire journey from start to finish was so smooth, and I left with people I consider friends now. I recommend them enough!

I had an amazing first experience donating with Same Love! Samantha is incredible, she’s so kind and understanding and she articulates tough subjects with ease making everything very understandable. I worked with some other amazing people throughout my donation process at the Western Fertility Institute. Dr. Kumar performed the surgery and made me feel very comfortable and helped calm my nerves beforehand.

We just had our SECOND baby with SLS and the journey was flawless each time. The SLS team was there for us at every step. It is so great that they are located in Los Angeles, right next to our IVF clinic, and they matched us with a surrogate close to our clinic. We especially appreciated the support they provided for the surrogates, which made our experience so much more rewarding and easygoing.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with SLS. We had the privilege of working directly with Brad who held our hands throughout the entire process. His honesty and straightforwardness made him a pleasure to work with, and his knowledge and expertise in the field facilitated an utterly seamless surrogacy journey. Our 2 children were born 2 years apart, and both journeys were equally easy and fruitful... Overall, the experience was 10 out of 10.

Aloha! As a 2x surrogate I just wanted to share my experience. I am from Hawai’i but for my first journey started when I was living in LV. My coordinator was Faith for both of my journeys. She was very hands on & always present when reached out too. She helped with any questions or concerns & always gave a positive comment if needed... I just completed my 2nd journey. I highly recommend SLS, they really do care for surrogates & take pride in their work in matching & caring for their surrogates.

For being a first time surrogate I can say that I have absolutely loved my journey so far. I’ve been working with Faith and she has been more than supportive and punctual with answers to any questions I may have and if anything is taking longer than usual she makes sure i know know that I haven’t been forgotten and they are still working on it. I would recommend this agency to any friend.

I worked with SameLoveSurrogacy and Everie to do my first frozen egg donation. Samantha Peckerar helped me every step of the way to answer any questions I had and support me through the process. Having her by my side from start to finish whenever needed made me feel comfortable and confident (which was beyond appreciated since it was my first time donating and I was nervous). I can't thank her and the team enough for making the process go so smoothly. I look forward to donating again in the future.

WHAT IS THE EGG DONOR
JOURNEY LIKE?

STEP ONE: APPLICATION

If your egg donor application meets our initial selection criteria, a member of our egg donor team will be contacting you. Our donor team will review the egg donor process and have you complete the required Same Love documents. Once the documents are completed we will activate your profile on our database for intended parents to review. Intended parents can view your medical history, family history and photos on our database. They will not be able to view your personal information.

STEP TWO: MATCHING PHASE

Intended parents will review your information on our secure database and once they have decided that they would like to proceed with you as their egg donor, our team will contact you. Once matched, we will schedule you for a psychological evaluation and a genetic family health evaluation with a genetic counselor.

STEP THREE: MEDICAL EVALUATION & SCREENING

An appointment with the IVF clinic will be scheduled once your genetic and psychological evaluations are complete. The medical evaluation and screening process involves a consultation with the IVF physician, infectious disease testing, drug testing and genetic testing. The results of the testing will take 2-3 weeks and if all results are within the normal parameters then the clinic will issue medical clearance.

STEP FOUR: LEGAL CONTRACT PHASE

We will refer you to an attorney that specializes in assisted reproductive technologies to review the legal contract between you and the intended parents. The contract reviews the egg donation procedure, the risks and responsibilities of the egg donor. Your attorney will assure you understand the agreement, and your intended parents will pay for your attorney fees.

STEP FIVE: TREATMENT PHASE

In the treatment phase you will begin the donation cycle. The cycle is between two to four weeks depending on the length of birth control pills and your ovaries response to medication. Routine morning appointments for ultrasound and blood tests are scheduled at the IVF center from the start of injections until the egg retrieval. Once injectable medications are started, you will be giving yourself daily injections on average for 10-12 days. The physician will monitor the growth of the follicles until they reach a size of maturity. Once the follicles are mature you will be scheduled for your egg retrieval.

WHY BECOME AN EGG DONOR?

Egg Donation is a caring, compassionate act that may provide the gift of parenthood to someone who otherwise would never have that opportunity.

At Same Love, egg donors are highly valued members of our services with an essential role in helping our intended parents create a family. Many women are unable to conceive for a variety of reasons, while many LGBTQ+ individuals also yearn to have families.

The extra $10k – $20k can go a long way
As an egg donor, you may be able to earn up to $20,000 or more, which can go a long way towards paying off your debt, buying that car, putting a downpayment on a house, or taking that dream vacation!

What are the differences between anonymous egg donation and open egg donation?

Some egg donation arrangements are anonymous which means no personal information is shared or exchanged between the donor and the intended parents.

Many open egg donation arrangements can be arranged if both parties are comfortable meeting each other and exchanging information. The level of communication and comfort can be arranged prior to the confirmation of the match.

What is an egg retrieval?

An egg retrieval is a technique used in IVF to retrieve the oocytes (eggs) from a woman’s ovaries. The procedure is performed by your physician under twilight sedation and is a 30-minute procedure on average. After the procedure you will be unable to drive for 24 hours due to the anesthesia. Most donors will be able to resume their normal routine 24 to 36 hours after the procedure.

What types of medications will I be required to take throughout the process?

Medications will be used to suppress your ovulation and stimulate your ovaries during the stimulation phase. These medications are usually in the form of injections that you will self-inject daily subcutaneously. The names of some of these medications are Lupron, Follistim, Gonal F, Menopur, Novarel, HCG.

Will I be required to travel?

Travel will depend on your location and the location of the IVF clinic you will be working with. Your travel mileage, airfare, lodging, car rental and food allowance, will all be reimbursed and paid for by the intended parents.

How many times can I donate my eggs?

An egg donor can donate a maximum of six times, according to ASRM guidelines.

Are there any complications?

You can experience minor discomfort after the procedure or while taking the injections. Some of the common symptoms are bloating, headaches and cramping. There is a small risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, but the doctors we work with will monitor your ovarian response closely so decrease the risk of hyperstimulation.

Do I need medical insurance?

We recommend you have medical insurance but if you do not it does not disqualify you from moving forward with the egg donation process. Your intended parent will purchase complication insurance for your treatment cycle.

Will my future fertility be affected?

There are no long-term risks associated with egg donation per the physicians that we partner with. Your physician will be able to provide you with more information at the time of your medical evaluation and answer any additional questions you may have.
