Our egg donor program is the start of your family

Our egg donation process is rooted in vetting and curating egg donors for the best selection, so you have the security of choosing an egg donor who is committed to helping build your family. Our database and team make it as easy as possible for you to make the right choice as the egg donor recipient. We work with nurses, doctors and egg donors, as well as benchmarking with other egg donor agencies, to keep the egg donation process moving as seamlessly and securely as possible.

Among all the egg donor agencies I could have worked with, I am grateful for ConceiveAbilities®.

    We guide you through our curated egg donor database to make your selection as the egg donor recipient. You can reserve a donor online without a fee. Only after the donor confirms her availability do we ask for a pre-approval fee.

  • Pre-Approval

  • Pre-Approval to Ensure a Good Match
    1-2 weeks (Pre-testing takes an additional 3-4 weeks)

    We work with the primary IVF clinic for preparation and a comprehensive review of the egg donor’s portfolio, which includes her clinical profile, current pelvic and pap results, any previous cycle and lab results, HIPAA and FDA compliance forms, mental health assessment and background check.

    After their physician gives their pre-approval on the donor, we issue the final documents and fees. After the fees and documents are received, intended parents and egg donors are introduced to their ConceiveAbilities Match Manager.

  • Egg Donor Evaluation

  • Egg Donor Evaluation at Fertility Center
    3–5 weeks

    At this part in the egg donation process, we help arrange for the egg donor’s evaluation and screening at your fertility center and facilitate the legal process. We will notify your physician’s office once we receive all executed legal documents. (This is required before any medication start dates are given.)

  • Egg Retrieval

  • Egg Retrieval
    2–4 weeks

    Your physician determines all medical protocols. Egg donor cycles generally last anywhere from 12 to 16 days. Throughout the entire cycle, your ConceiveAbilities Match Manager will be in contact with both you and your donor to offer encouragement, support, resources and updates, and answer any and all questions.

  • Embryo Transfer

  • Embryo Transfer
    Variable

    The clinic lab typically provides fertilization updates 3-7 days post retrieval, and you and your physician will determine a plan for a fresh or frozen embryo transfer. Match auditing and accounting can take up to 60 days to finalize.
