Egg donation is now an option for women suffering from premature menopause, poor egg quality, diminished ovarian reserve, previous failed IVF cycles, or other fertility issues.
Couples coming to Giving Hope Egg Donation need the help of a third party to help them fulfill their dreams of becoming parents. By utilizing an egg donor the intended couple can have a child biologically linked to the father and carried by the mother. Egg donation can also be combined with sperm donation and still allow the mother to experience the joy of pregnancy.
The first step for you, the Intended Parent, is to contact our egg donation agency for more information regarding the egg donation process. We will ask for information about you and your special requirements in selecting a donor.
After we have discussed your special search criteria, we will give you our egg donor access code so that you can view our ovum donors online. You will be able to view their donor photo(s) and their matching profiles. We will continue to provide new possible donors until you have selected the right choice. Our donor egg program is anonymous, meaning couples are matched with an egg donor by the donor egg coordinator and fertility clinic physician, according to the couple’s criteria and preferences.
The egg donor will undergo psychological screening prior to the medical screening. She will also complete the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), the most widely used, objective, in-depth, and revealing measure of personality. Psychological screening will check for outside stressors and potential scheduling conflicts, history of substance abuse, emotional resolution regarding egg donation, personal motivation for donation, and the egg donor’s commitment to completing the program. Once the egg donor has passed her psychological testing, Giving Hope Egg Donation will contact the fertility clinic and set up an appointment for the selected egg donor to start initial medical screening. The egg donor will undergo a complete physical exam, ultrasound, blood screening, and drug screening. If an egg donor does not pass any of these tests, the couple has six months to find another donor. The egg donor may be required by the fertility clinic physician to have genetic screening, when indicated, to screen for genetically transmitted diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay Sachs disease. Intended parents are responsible for all of the egg donor’s medical bills and medication pertaining to the ovum donor process.
Once the egg donor begins her menstrual cycle, she will be ready for the remainder of the process. The egg donor will be given ovarian stimulation drugs. The egg donor will be monitored by the fertility clinic in which she will continue to have her blood drawn and ultrasounds completed. We will continue to keep you updated on the egg donor’s progress through this process. When the time is ready, she will undergo egg retrieval. The resulting egg(s) will be combined with sperm from either the intended father or a sperm donor. If fertilization occurs, one or more of the resulting embryos may be transferred to the intended mother’s uterus approximately three to five days after egg retrieval.
We want more than anything for your egg donation cycle to result in a positive pregnancy. Our Egg Donation Agency Program Fee is a flat fee and will allow you to select up to 4 egg donors until you reach the egg retrieval with 1 of the 4 egg donors. If your 1st egg donor is unable to complete the egg donation cycle for any reason at any time during the cycle then you can select a 2nd donor, if that cycle is cancelled then you can select a 3rd donor and if that cycle is cancelled then you can select a 4th donor.
In order to help you along in this process, we feel that you should be able to view our egg donors at your convenience. We have designed an egg donation program specifically for Intended Parents which allows you to view our free egg donor database 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our goal is to make the process easy for you, but we need your help in order for us to find an egg donor meeting your unique egg donation criteria.
Please give us your name, the email address or phone number where we can respond to you, and the fertility clinic you are presently working with. We want to find just the right egg donor for you so we need to know what you’re looking for in an egg donor. Information that may be beneficial to our agency in the quest to locate the perfect egg donor for you might include height, eye color, hair color, ethnicity or any other characteristics that may be important to you.
Although you may not see the perfect egg donor at the time you visit our website, this may simply be because that egg donor is presently in an egg donation cycle or the egg donor may not have joined our program yet. However, if we meet your criteria and feel that we’ve located a potential egg donor for you, we will email you profiles and photos of egg donors who are in a cycle or new egg donors who join our egg donation program.
Please complete our contact form below to receive your access code. This code will allow you to view photos of our egg donors and read each egg donors individual profile. Each profile gives details of her health history, family health history, interests, hobbies, etc.
If you would like to have a free phone consultation with our director, Debie, let us know in your message. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you in your search.
The egg donor’s compensation will be $8000-$10,000+. Travel expenses will occur only if the egg donor must travel more than 60 miles to the fertility clinic for testing. The egg donor will be compensated $25.00+ per clinic trip for her mileage by the Intended Parents. You will be responsible to pay up to $500 for an attorney to view the contract with the egg donor.
