Starting the process of growing your family with the help of an egg donor can be both exciting and overwhelming. At MyEggBank (MEB), we understand how personal this journey is and how important it is to feel confident and supported every step of the way. That’s why our donor database is designed to give you access to the widest possible range of options, with powerful search tools to help you find the right match for your needs, preferences, and values.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore egg donation or are ready to dive into profiles, here’s a helpful guide to making the most of your search on the largest egg donor database in the country.

What Makes MyEggBank’s Database Unique?

MyEggBank is proud to offer the largest donor database in North America, providing access to thoroughly screened donors from a wide range of backgrounds to give you the ability to find a match that aligns with your family's needs, values, and hopes for the future.

When you browse the MEB database, you’ll find comprehensive donor profiles that include:

  • Ethnicity and ancestry
  • Physical characteristics (height, hair color, eye color, body type)
  • Education level and academic background
  • Fresh or frozen egg availability

With advanced filtering tools, you can customize your search to focus on the traits that matter most to you.

How to Search the Database: Factors to Consider

With so many thoughtful, high-quality profiles to choose from, it can help to begin your search by identifying what matters most to you. Many intended parents start with physical traits, especially if they’re hoping for a donor who resembles themselves or their partner. It’s perfectly natural to filter by things like eye color, height, or hair type, but try not to let physical appearance become the only deciding factor. For example, shared cultural or ancestral background with a donor can carry deep personal significance, especially when considering how your child’s identity may connect with your own. You may also want to think about educational background, personality, and interests. Some intended parents prioritize academic achievements or artistic talents, while others are drawn to the donor’s warmth, creativity, or values expressed in her personal statement.

Finally, be sure to review each donor’s medical and genetic history carefully. All of our donors go through extensive screening, but you may have personal or family considerations — like known hereditary conditions or blood type compatibility — that are important to take into account. The best approach is a balanced one: combine practical filters with your instincts, and give yourself permission to connect with the profiles that resonate with you, even if they surprise you.

Tips for Reviewing Egg Donor Profiles

Here are a few helpful tips to keep your search manageable and meaningful:

  • Start broad, then narrow: Begin with your most important filters — such as ethnicity or education — and slowly narrow down based on secondary preferences like height or hobbies.
  • Keep an open mind: Many parents are surprised by which profiles resonate with them emotionally. You might start with a checklist, but end up choosing based on a donor’s story, smile, or shared worldview.
  • Ask yourself what matters most: Is physical resemblance your top priority? Is a clean medical history non-negotiable? Would a donor’s creativity or resilience matter more than academic achievements?
  • Lean on your care team: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, our team is here to help you clarify your goals and understand how different traits might — or might not — impact your family’s future.
