Introduction — Science with a Heartbeat

Before every success story, before every pregnancy test and baby’s cry, there’s a single act of trust: the donor’s decision to give life.

That’s why at EggDonors4All, safety isn’t just a requirement — it’s our promise.
Every donor and recipient is protected by the strictest standards in fertility medicine, so the gift of life is given — and received — with confidence.

“Healthy donors create healthy families.”
— Dr. Veera Saghar

Why Screening Matters

Egg donation is not just about eggs; it’s about integrity and protection.
Each donor’s health directly impacts embryo quality, pregnancy success, and child wellbeing.

That’s why we follow a Tier-1 Screening Protocol, approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) and licensed by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) — the highest regulatory combination in the U.S.

Screening Phase	Purpose	Result
Medical Evaluation	Verify reproductive health	Only top 5% qualify
Genetic Screening	Detect hereditary conditions	Prevents transmission
Infectious Disease Testing	Confirm medical safety	Protects recipient
Psychological Evaluation	Assess emotional readiness	Ensures ethical stability
Legal Review	Confirm consent	Protects all parties

The Medical Evaluation: Where It Begins

Every donor starts with a full physical exam and reproductive health check performed by a fertility specialist.

Includes:

• Hormonal bloodwork (AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol)
• Pelvic ultrasound for ovarian reserve
• Comprehensive health history review
• BMI and cardiovascular health screening

Goal: to confirm the donor’s body can safely produce high-quality eggs without compromising her own wellbeing.

“The first person we protect is always the donor.”

Genetic and Chromosomal Testing

Every EggDonors4All donor completes an extensive genetic carrier screening panel — testing up to 500 conditions, including:

• Cystic Fibrosis
• Tay-Sachs Disease
• Fragile X Syndrome
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
• Sickle Cell Anemia
• Thalassemia
• BRCA1/2 (for hereditary cancer risk)

Purpose: to ensure the donor is not a carrier of serious hereditary diseases and is genetically compatible with the intended parents’ background.

Bonus: Our program integrates polygenic embryo testing, allowing doctors to assess embryo health at the Day-5 blastocyst stage.

Psychological and Emotional Evaluation

Donating eggs is not only a medical commitment — it’s an emotional one.
Our board-certified reproductive psychologists evaluate each donor’s emotional maturity, motivation, and understanding of the process.

Topics Covered:

• Reasons for donating (financial, altruistic, emotional)
• Understanding of medical process and anonymity
• Readiness for hormonal treatment and retrieval
• Long-term emotional outlook

“We only accept donors who understand the gravity — and the grace — of what they’re doing.”

Infectious Disease Testing

To meet federal (FDA) and state (NYS) standards, every donor must test negative for infectious diseases including:

• HIV (I & II)
• Hepatitis B & C
• Syphilis (RPR)
• Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
• Zika Virus
• CMV (Cytomegalovirus)

Testing Frequency: All tests are performed twice — once during initial screening and again immediately before retrieval.

All testing is performed in CLIA-certified labs.

Case Study — “Why Safety Built Our Success”

Profile: Aria, 28, New Jersey

“I was nervous about donating because I wasn’t sure how safe it was. EggDonors4All explained every test before starting. I felt informed, respected, and safe.”

Outcome: Successfully completed 3 donation cycles → 2 families helped → zero complications.

The Egg Retrieval Process — Simple, Safe, Supported

Egg retrieval is a minimally invasive, 20–30-minute outpatient procedure performed under light sedation by licensed fertility doctors.

Safety Protocols Include:

• Monitored anesthesia administered by certified specialists
• Ultrasound-guided retrieval
• Antibiotic prophylaxis (infection prevention)
• Post-retrieval rest and hydration

Recovery takes 1–2 days, and donors receive full post-care support and follow-up calls.

“You’re never alone — we check in until you’re 100% recovered.”

Day-5 Blastocyst Guarantee: Science That Rewards Safety

Screening ensures quality — but the true success lies in outcome.
That’s why EggDonors4All guarantees that all fertilized eggs are cultured into Day-5 blastocysts, the optimal stage for transfer.

Why It Matters:

• 85–90% success rate vs. 50–60% in traditional cycles
• Fewer failed transfers and miscarriages
• Lower overall costs for intended parents
• Reduced repeat cycles for donors

Medical Insight

When embryos reach Day-5 blastocyst, they’ve naturally “self-selected” for genetic strength — proving the donor’s eggs were healthy, viable, and high-quality.

“Our screening makes blastocyst success predictable — not accidental.”

Case Study — “Healthy Donor, Happy Families”

Profile: Samantha, 25, Los Angeles

“EggDonors4All took every precaution — from genetic testing to post-op care. Knowing families were safe because of me made it all worthwhile.”

Outcome: 2 cycles → 6 Day-5 blastocysts → 3 healthy babies born.
