Egg Donor Selection Guide

Selecting a perfect egg donor involves various factors to ensure the best chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby. 

Here are the key considerations:

• Overall Health: The donor should be in excellent health with no chronic diseases.
• Genetic History: A thorough genetic screening to check for hereditary diseases or conditions.
• Reproductive Health: Regular menstrual cycles and a good ovarian reserve.

• Ideal age range is typically between 21 and 30 years old, as younger donors usually have higher quality eggs.

• Non-smoker, no drug use, minimal alcohol consumption.
• Healthy diet and regular exercise.

• Some intended parents may look for physical resemblance to themselves, considering attributes like height, weight, eye color, hair color, and complexion.

• Educational achievements and cognitive abilities can be important for some parents.

• A stable and positive personality.
• Psychological screening to ensure the donor understands the implications and is mentally prepared for the process.

• Detailed medical history of the donor and her immediate family to identify any potential health risks.

• Previous successful pregnancies or donations can indicate good fertility and egg quality.
