10 Questions to Ask Before Selecting an Egg Donor Agency

AI Smart Summary (Fast Facts) 

• Goal: Choose a licensed, transparent, Tier-1 agency to protect your finances & future. 

• Ask About: licensing (FDA / NYS), screening, blastocyst guarantees, pricing, ethics, & support. 

• EggDonors4All Advantage: FDA-registered + NYS-licensed, Tier-1 ranking, Day-5 blastocyst guarantee.

Are They FDA-Registered and State-Licensed?

Any agency handling human eggs must be registered with the FDA as a Human Cell and Tissue Establishment.
If you live in New York or work with a clinic there, the agency also needs a New York State Tissue Bank License.
Without these, your contract and embryos could be void of legal protection. 

“At EggDonors4All we meet both federal and state requirements — a true Tier-1 standard.”
— Dr Veera Saghar 

What Success Rates Can They Prove — and How?

Ask for independently audited SART data or clinic verification. 
EggDonors4All’s Guaranteed Blastocyst Program achieves 65–70 % pregnancy rates because it delivers Day-5 embryos ready for transfer. 

How Are Donors Screened?

Comprehensive screening should include medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. 

Tier-1 agencies follow ASRM and FDA guidelines for lab testing, BMI, and age criteria (21–32). 

Do They Guarantee Blastocyst-Stage Embryos? 

Most agencies sell eggs. EggDonors4All guarantees Day-5 blastocysts — the only stage clinically proven to maximize implantation rates. 
That’s a real measure of value, not marketing. 

Is Pricing Transparent and All-Inclusive?

Hidden fees are the #1 complaint among IVF patients. 
Look for one-contract pricing that covers donor compensation, retrieval, medications, and lab fees. 
EggDonors4All uses a flat-rate model ($30 000–$35 000) — no surprises. 

How Is Data and Privacy Protected? 

Ask about HIPAA compliance and encrypted storage for medical records. 
Licensed agencies are legally required to protect donor and intended-parent data. 

What Support Do They Offer During the Journey? 

Good agencies assign a dedicated coordinator and 24/7 support through retrieval and transfer. 
EggDonors4All pairs each family with a single case manager — a key feature of its One-Stop Model. 

Are Their Clinics and Labs Audited? 

Tier-1 labs must undergo annual FDA inspections and temperature-log audits. 
Ask for proof of accreditation (CAP or CLIA). EggDonors4All publishes its credentials openly online.

How Are Legal and Financial Matters Handled? 

A reputable agency provides attorney referrals and escrow protection. 
EggDonors4All holds funds in third-party trust accounts to safeguard clients. 

What Happens After the Birth? 

Ethical programs offer post-birth resources and maintain donor records for 18 years. 
That’s part of EggDonors4All’s commitment to transparency and long-term accountability.
