After your initial consult with your Physician, you will meet with the Donor Egg Coordinator to go over the specifics of the program and how we help match you with one of our donors.

You will also meet with our financial counselor who can discuss with you the fees associated with the Donor Egg Program.

At the end of that consult, you will be directed to set up an appointment with our licensed clinical social worker for a one hour appointment to go over a variety of topics associated with undergoing Anonymous Egg Donation.

Step 3: Participating In Program

Upon entry into the program, we will identify the screening blood work and cultures you will need, and any additional exams that will be needed to ensure a safe and promising cycle.

Once you are matched with a donor and your cycles are aligned based on the last menstrual periods respectively, the process will take approximately 6 weeks.
