Prescreening

If you feel that you meet the basic requirements for oocyte donation, you will be asked to complete the screening process before being matched with your recipient(s). 

Prescreening Questionnaire

The first step of this process is the pre-screening phone interview.  One of our representatives will ask you a series of questions regarding your vital statistics, lifestyle, and exposures to potential diseases or toxins.  It is absolutely imperative that you answer these questions truthfully, both for your safety and the safety of our recipients.  If your prescreening questionnaire is acceptable, you will be asked to complete a formal application.

Formal Application

This application will ask more in-depth questions regarding your personal and family medical history.  Once we receive this application, it will be reviewed by the physician in charge of 3rd party (donor) reproduction.  You may be contacted to provide clarification or additional information.  If approved to proceed, we will ask you to come to the clinic for “visit #1.”

Visit #1

This visit is a brief clinic visit which includes a height and weight check and a lab visit.  We will collect blood and urine, which will be tested for infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis.  We will also test hormone levels that relate to ovarian function, blood type and cystic fibrosis.  It can take up to 2 weeks to get the results of these tests.   When we have all of the results, we will contact you.  If these results are all within normal range you will move on to “visit #2.”

Visit #2

This visit is a more involved visit.  At this time you will be asked to meet with our psychologist, have a physical exam, sign consents, and receive instructions on how to administer and inject hormone medications.  You will also receive birth control pills or a Nuva Ring to help coordinate your menstrual cycle with your recipient(s).  After this visit is complete, you will be added to our donor pool.
