My Donor Cycle is a for-profit egg donor and surrogacy coordination company based in San Diego, California, founded in 2008. The same organization also operates under the name Surrogacy Beyond Borders, the brand used for its surrogacy program, which runs through Mexico. On its website, the agency describes itself as an experienced surrogacy and egg donor coordination company working with families around the world. Its owner and chief executive has been publicly identified in news reporting and in first-party interviews as Lillian "Lilly" Frost.
The company runs a full-service model, meaning it coordinates the pieces of a journey rather than referring families out to separate providers for each step, and it maintains an egg donation program alongside surrogacy. It works with intended parents who live outside the United States as well as domestic clients, and it says it welcomes LGBTQ+ intended parents. Gestational carriers in its surrogacy program may also be located internationally. The organization is small, with a staff in the single digits.
Its agency fee is published rather than quoted privately; that figure, along with eligibility requirements and compensation details, appears in the tables below.
The Surrogacy Beyond Borders program has been the subject of outside journalism: an episode of the Channel 4 series Unreported World, reporting on Mexico's surrogacy industry, featured surrogates who expressed dissatisfaction with the program, as well as a former agency coordinator who said she had resigned over concerns about the company.

Explicitly warns others away from the agency and characterizes the owner as having cycled through multiple surrogacy ventures.
