text: This review is written from the perspective of the egg donor:\n\nAs a background, I'd like to note that I am an experienced donor and have worked with a few different egg donor agencies, so I know what standard egg donor requirements, protocol, and procedures are.  \n\nI applied to this agency through their web site, uploaded photos, etc.  I was accepted and a week later I received a packet of paperwork in the mail from TWEB, for me to sign and return.  Said packet consisted of the Egg Donor Information Sheet, Supplementary Questionnaire, Authorization to Release Medical Records, Egg Donor Agreement, and Travel Guidelines, and .  My issues lie with this last document.\n\nThe travel guidelines, state that if travel is required for retrieval (which usually is) \"TWEB will have a companion who will be designated by TWEB share your hotel room with you.  You will have separate beds.  Family and friends cannot be companions.  If they wish to accompany the donor, it will be at their cost with a separate hotel room.\"  This is absolutely absurd.  In past experience, EVERY OTHER agency that I have dealt with allows for a family member or friend of the donor to accompany the donor with all of their travel expenses paid for.  How do they expect a donor to feel comfortable sleeping in the same hotel room with some random stranger in a strange city (or foreign country).  This shows that they have absolutely no consideration or concern for the donor and raises a HUGE red flag.  I raised this issue with the \"Donor Coordinator\" who basically just said, \"well that's our policy, we'll delete your application, good luck.\"\n\nSo my recommendation is to NOT sign on with this agency.  Virtually ANY other agency out their will compensate you higher compensation, TWEB's compensation is $3,500-$5,000 per cycle, ANY other agency will compensate $5000-$10,000 per cycle, anything less than $5,000 is just insulting considering the time and effort that goes into these cycles, especially if you are an EXPERIENCED, PROVEN donor. and ANY other agency will look out for your best interest/ want you to feel comfortable.  ANY other agency will allow for you to bring a companion of your choice to the retrieval, reimburse you for more expenses, and allow a more generous \"per diem\" when you are traveling.  Don't waste your time here ladies.
