Once you've submitted your complete application package, including your profile, genetic questionnaire, photos, and educational verifications, our donor team will review it. If we have any questions, we'll reach out to you for clarification. If your profile meets industry standards for genetics and psychology, you'll be invited to join our program. If not, we'll explain why we can't invite you to participate. Once accepted, we'll start presenting you to our infertile families.

The matching time varies based on the families seeking an egg donor at the time of your acceptance. It can range from being matched on the first day you're presented to waiting for a few months. Families have diverse needs based on characteristics like hair color, eye color, height, ethnicity, religion, and education. Matching involves finding a connection between a family and a donor that goes beyond physical traits to encompass genetics, personality, cultural background, interests, and values.

Most donors find the fear of injections more uncomfortable than the injections themselves. Medications are administered with small, relatively painless needles. During the retrieval procedure, you'll be under anesthesia and won't experience any pain. Afterward, you might have some cramping and tiredness, but the IVF center will provide pain management instructions.

In an anonymous donation, personal identifying information isn't shared, and parties typically don't use their names. In an open donation, information is shared, and communication may occur over the years to exchange details about the child, donor, or donor's children, ensuring all parties have access to updated genetic and psychological information.

While we can't provide medical advice, most donors experience minimal side effects, similar to PMS symptoms like bloating, headaches, moodiness, and cramping. These are typically manageable. However, rare cases of hyperstimulation after retrieval may require medical attention, including a brief hospital stay in some instances.
