Each donor’s candidature is provided along with her extensive background information and extensive list of her personal characteristics. The potential donor’s medical and personal disclosure, based on the information the donor provides, are also given. The complete information about the woman, who is going to become an egg donor for you, and her personal disclosure are also provided. All the above mentioned information is based purely on the one, which a donor has provided as part of the Donor Registration and Pre – Screening process. You may look through the available donors either on line (if the agency, you have applied to has its own website), or right in the agency.
Donor Confirmation After you have selected one or several women among all the available egg donors, the surrogacy agency, you apply to, should notify your first – choice donor in order to make sure, that the woman is still interested and available to serve as an egg donor. Then the agency worker will contact with you in order to confirm your donor selection, and the woman, you have chosen, will be “placed on hold”, or, in other words, this woman will not be available for any other intended parents, seeking for an egg donor.
Agreements and Fee After you have made up your mind as for the woman, who will become an egg donor for you, you will have to sign the Donor Agreement and Acknowledgement of Intended Parents documents, and the checks: one check is for the egg donor’s compensation, and the second is for the balance of the surrogacy agency’s fee. The sum on these checks depends on the agency, you have applied to, but the egg donor’s compensation is about $5,000, and the balance of the agency’s fee makes will cost you somewhere around $3,000. Most agencies request you to turn all the signed agreements and payments within three working days after you have made your choice. The aim of such a request is to make sure fairness to the donor and to other intended parents, who may possibly be interested in the woman, you chose as an egg donor.
Screening and Fertility Drugs So, after all the documents have been signed and all the payments have been received, you and the woman, who will become an egg donor for you, should begin to work with your fertility clinic. The complete medical and psychological screening is to be conducted; also, it is necessary to prescribe the necessary fertility drugs to the donor, in order to make her egg production stimulated. Then the daily monitoring of the donor’s eggs becoming mature will be held.
Egg Retrieval and Transfer At last, your donor’s cycle will be synchronized with your (or with the intended mother’s), and the egg retrieval procedure will be held. As a rule about three months are needed to pass from the time you choose the woman, who becomes an egg donor for your family up to the time of the egg retrieval and transfer into the intended mother’s uterus.
