Introduction: Matching Dreams, Not Just Donors

When you’ve finally decided to start your egg donation journey, time becomes precious.
You want results — but you also want them done right.

At EggDonors4All, we understand that every week feels like a lifetime when you’re hoping for a family.
That’s why our matching process is streamlined, structured, and personalized — moving as quickly as possible without ever compromising care.

“We match families fast — but never at the expense of empathy.”

(Depending on donor preferences, medical clearances, and clinic scheduling.)

Step 1 — Application & Consultation (Days 1–5)

Once you contact EggDonors4All, your dedicated coordinator will schedule a private consultation within 48 hours.
This meeting clarifies your goals, donor preferences, and expected timeframes.

During this call, you’ll discuss:

• Ethnicity or appearance preferences
• Timeline goals (e.g., fresh vs frozen cycles)
• Clinic location and IVF logistics
• Emotional readiness and expectations

Our coordinators immediately begin shortlisting available donors that fit your criteria.

“The clock starts the moment you say yes to hope.”

 Step 2 — Reviewing Donor Profiles (Week 1–2)

Within days, you’ll receive personalized donor profiles that align with your needs.
Each includes photos, essays, health summaries, and screening results.

We recommend reviewing 3–5 profiles to avoid decision fatigue — enough for diversity, but not overwhelm.

If you find “the one,” we’ll hold her spot immediately.
If not, we keep searching — until it feels right.

“It’s never about finding any donor. It’s about finding your donor.”

Step 3 — Medical and Genetic Screening (Week 2–3)

Once your donor is tentatively matched, she undergoes a complete medical and genetic recheck to ensure up-to-date health clearance.

Tests include:

• Hormone analysis (FSH, AMH, Estradiol)
• Ovarian ultrasound
• Infectious disease screening (HIV, Hepatitis, etc.)
• Genetic compatibility check

This is where science meets safety.

“Fast is good. Verified is better.”

Step 4 — Legal Documentation (Week 3–4)

Before any medical cycle begins, both parties complete legally binding contracts.
This ensures clarity about compensation, confidentiality, and parental rights.

At EggDonors4All:

• Donors receive independent legal counsel (paid by us)
• Parents receive final document approval
• Funds are securely held in escrow

“Speed means nothing without security.”

Step 5 — Synchronization & Retrieval (Week 4–6)

Once contracts are signed and funds secured, the clinic synchronizes the donor’s and recipient’s cycles.

Using gentle hormone medications, the donor’s ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs, which are retrieved after 10–14 days.

Those eggs are then fertilized and cultured to Day-5 blastocysts — guaranteeing success metrics unique to EggDonors4All.

“The end of waiting is the beginning of creation.”

Why Some Matches Take Longer

While our average match time is 3 weeks, some cycles extend due to:

• Specific ethnic or physical requests (rarer donors)
• Clinic availability and location coordination
• International scheduling or shipping requirements
• Legal delays in interstate or overseas arrangements

Our coordinators proactively manage all logistics — from travel to clinic communication — to minimize downtime.

“We handle the details, so your only job is hope.”
