When choosing your egg donor<\/a>, there are so many things that you will consider. You may want your egg donor<\/a> to be the same ethnicity or have similar features to you. Or be amazing at math and science. Or you may connect to the way the donor talks about herself in her profile. You may feel a connection to a profile for no apparent or explainable reason. One thing is a given – you want to ensure that your egg donor is healthy and does not have any serious hereditary medical or psychological conditions running in her family, which could affect the health of your future child. We absolutely get it.\u00a0 Here at Santa Monica Fertility<\/a>, we have strict qualification criteria<\/a> for our egg donors, and we pass each candidate through a comprehensive egg donor screening process. We accept less than 3% of all applicants into our egg donation program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Online Egg Donor Application<\/h2>\n

The online application is the first step in our egg donor screening process. Although it is only a short form that can be completed in minutes, it is crucial and allows our coordinators to screen out many candidates who do not meet our egg donor qualifications<\/a>. Women who would like to donate eggs with us provide their basic information like height, weight, ethnicity and any medical, psychological, or genetic conditions that they – or anyone in their family – may have.<\/p>\n

Egg Donor Profile and Medical Form<\/h2>\n

After we accept the initial online application, our egg donation coordinator<\/a> talks with the potential egg donor to confirm the information provided, and to understand more about her situation and motivation to donate eggs. We explain our egg donation program<\/a>, the commitment that egg donation takes and answer all the questions that may arise.\u00a0 Prospective egg donors will then fill out a detailed profile and medical questionnaire. This form focuses on information about the potential egg donor’s medical, psychological, and reproductive history as well as their personality, interests, and passions. The form also has questions regarding the medical history of the donor\u2019s family. The egg donor profile form is more than just a series of questions, it is an opportunity for a prospective egg donor to showcase who they are as a person and what it means for them to donate eggs.<\/p>\n

Egg Donor Screening Tests<\/h2>\n

Once we review and approve the completed paperwork, we move on to a series of egg donor screening tests and physical exams, as outlined below:<\/p>\n
