Donor Matching & Screening

What Is Donor Screening?

Donor screening is a multi-step process designed to evaluate the physical, genetic and psychological suitability of potential egg donors. Only donors who meet strict criteria are accepted into programs.

Screening is essential to protect:

  • Intended parents

  • Donors

  • Future children

Medical Screening

Medical screening typically includes:

  • General health evaluation

  • Hormonal and reproductive assessments

  • Infectious disease testing

  • Review of gynecological and medical history

These checks help ensure donors are healthy and suitable for egg donation.

Genetic Screening

Genetic screening aims to reduce the risk of inherited conditions. This process may include:

  • Review of family medical history

  • Carrier screening for common genetic disorders

  • Evaluation by fertility specialists

Genetic screening is a key component of responsible egg donation programs.

Psychological Evaluation

Psychological assessment ensures that donors:

  • Fully understand the donation process

  • Are emotionally prepared

  • Participate voluntarily and responsibly

This step supports ethical standards and long-term well-being for everyone involved.

Donor Matching Process

Once screening is complete, donors are matched with intended parents based on:

  • Medical compatibility

  • Physical characteristics

  • Personal preferences where applicable

Donor profiles are presented clearly and confidentially, allowing intended parents to make informed decisions.

Transparency and Confidentiality

All donor information is handled with strict confidentiality. Personal data, medical records and donor profiles are protected in accordance with privacy standards.

Transparency and trust are central to every donor matching process.

Conclusion

Donor matching and screening form the foundation of a safe and successful egg donation program. A structured and ethical approach helps intended parents move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
