4 Questions to Ask When Looking for the Right Egg Donor
Our caring professionals want you to make informed, confident decisions when starting your fertility journey, so we encourage you to ask questions when choosing your egg donor to ensure you make the right choice based on your needs and preferences. Some questions to ask that can help make selecting an egg donor easier include the following:
Fresh or Frozen Eggs?
When using donor eggs, you can use fresh or frozen, depending on your ideal timeline and budget. When using fresh eggs, the donor must undergo a medical screening, synchronize their menstrual cycle with the intended mother or surrogate, medically prepare for retrieval, and get their eggs retrieved. This process can take a few months and is generally more expensive than frozen eggs, but the success rates are slightly higher.
Using frozen eggs for your IVF journey gives you a more expedited timeline, as the donor has already been thoroughly screened, and their eggs have already been retrieved. If you choose this option, the eggs are safely and carefully thawed and fertilized to create embryos, which get transferred to the intended mother or surrogate. With the eggs readily available and no need to synchronize cycles, frozen eggs are a more cost-effective option.
How Are Egg Donors Screened?
At IVF Origen Agency, we proudly provide intended parents with a premier egg donor database full of diverse, healthy, kind donors who have met our extensive qualifications, including age, health, genetic, and educational requirements. To ensure our donors meet these criteria, we conduct a rigorous screening process that involves physical and psychological exams, laboratory tests, genetic testing, background checks, and one-on-one consultations.
Do You Want to Know Your Egg Donor?
While some intended parents may want to know their egg donor, others may prefer their donor remain anonymous. Asking yourself this question and considering which option you prefer can help you select a donor who wants the same type of relationship, so you and everyone involved in your journey can have a smooth experience.
How Will Donor Eggs Influence Your Baby?
When choosing an egg donor, you may consider how your donor’s eggs will influence your baby’s appearance, qualities, and personality. Perhaps you want your baby to look like you, as many intended parents do. You can look for an egg donor with similar features. In our donor database, each donor has a detailed profile, so you can get to know them better and choose a donor you want to influence your baby.
Qualities to Consider When Choosing Your Egg Donor
Selecting an egg donor is a personal decision that requires careful consideration of the qualities that matter most to you. Focusing on the traits that align with your goals and values can help you make an informed choice that gives you the best chance of success. Some important qualities to consider when choosing an egg donor include the following:
- Physical appearance: If you want your baby to look like you or you have preferences about physical appearance, you may consider factors like hair and eye color, skin tone, ethnicity, and height when choosing an egg donor.
- Medical history: While we screen our donors for genetic disorders and medical concerns, we can help you find a match medically compatible with your health history.
- Personality: This may include hobbies, interests, values, goals, and personality type. For example, you may prefer a donor who likes the outdoors and is more extroverted.
- Education: All our donors have either education beyond high school or success in their career oath, but you may consider looking for a donor in a specific field or with a certain educational level.
