Finding an egg donor

We’ve helped thousands of people build their families through innovative technology, rigorous screening, and world-class reproductive care. And with the largest, most diverse selection of donor
eggs, MyEggBank has a donor for every aspiring parent.

We make the process of finding an egg donor less daunting by screening all of our donors to ensure they are physically and mentally healthy, have good reproductive health, and represent a broad array of racial and ethnic diversity. Our screening processes meet and exceed donor-screening guidelines required by the Food and Drug Administration and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

Egg donor assessment

Each egg donor not only fits our health requirements, but also provides MyEggBank with:

• A family medical history going back three generations
• An educational and work history
• A personal statement
• A travel screening to determine any additional risks

Their clinical assessments also include:

• An interview with a registered nurse
• A thorough physical examination with a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant
• A consultation with a board-certified genetic counselor
• A psychological examination

Medical testing helps ensure they are fit to be egg donors by:

• Screening for infectious diseases, drug use, sexually transmitted infections, and hormone levels
• Performing genetic and karyotype (chromosome) testing†
• Using ultrasound to further evaluate fertility

Our genetic testing follows professional guidelines from the ASRM, American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Specific health screening information on any potential donor is included in her MyEggBank donor profile.

Include your clinician

We recommend that all our aspiring parents discuss their selected donor’s genetic report with their treatment provider, who may advise reviewing and cross-referencing her genetic results with those of your preferred sperm donor. Our genetic counselors are always available to review any testing results with you. As an aspiring parent, you always have the right to request additional carrier screening on your chosen donor.

If you have questions about MyEggBank’s genetic testing or want to inquire about these additional services, you can speak to your treatment provider or contact MyEggBank at 1-866-537-8642.

Finding an egg donor’s identity

MyEggBank provides flexible, transparent, and inclusive options for intended parents and their future children to learn more about their donor. These options include:

1. Open ID: Donors and recipients connect through video calls and agree to exchange full identifying and contact information with each other and/or the donor-conceived individual.

2. Semi-Open: Donors and recipients can meet via video call without initially sharing full identifying or contact information. This allows for a meaningful connection while respecting individual preferences, with the potential for future information sharing.

3. ID Release: Donors choose not to meet recipient parents or share identifying information at the time of donation. However, identifying information will be made available to the donor-conceived individual when they reach legal age, should they request it.
