Maintaining a higher standard of screening

At our center, we are proud of keeping a very high standard for donor screening. Our donors must be between the ages 20 and 29 and be in excellent health. We perform genetic, medical, and sexually transmitted disease screening in addition to a most elaborate social and psychological screening. Psychological screenings are performed by a licensed therapist with a degree in psychology and includes personality and attitude assessment, and an in depth interview for motives and personal background. While this makes ovum donation very expensive, it assures the highest standards of medical care which couples desire.

The role of the Egg Donor Coordinator

When a donor has completed this process and has been admitted into our Egg Donor Program, she is added to our list of anonymous egg donors. A recipient, in conjunction with the Egg Donor Coordinator, selects a match that meets pre-identified criteria. The Egg Donor Coordinator then ensures coordination of the cycles of the two women to culminate in the IVF process with the following embryo transfer.
