How Egg Donors Are Screened in Connecticut
Fertility Source Companies carefully evaluates and chooses healthy, qualified donors, taking into account their medical history, genetic background, and psychological readiness. To be listed in our database, each prospective donor must successfully pass the following checks:
Review of the donor's commitment level
Personality evaluation
Criminal background verification
Lifestyle assessment
Recent pap smear
FDA compliance verification
After being matched, egg donors are required to undergo various additional screenings, all performed at the intended parent's fertility clinic, including:
A comprehensive physical examination
A mental health evaluation (facilitated by The Donor Source upon matching)
Blood tests to screen for drug use and specific health disorders
IPs should consider several key factors when selecting an egg donor. Medical history and genetic background are crucial to identify any potential health risks. Evaluating the donor’s lifestyle and habits, such as diet and exercise, ensures they align with the IPs' values. Many IPs also prefer donors with similar physical traits to create a sense of biological connection. Personality profiles provide insight into the donor's characteristics, aiding in a more personal selection. Additionally, throughout the process, IPs are encouraged to trust their instincts.
The complete egg donation journey, from selecting a donor to the egg retrieval, typically spans 12-16 weeks. This timeframe accommodates necessary medical screenings, legal procedures, and the planning and scheduling of the cycle. The donor's menstrual cycle and personal schedule can also influence the duration of the process.
The success rates of egg donation vary depending on factors such as the age of the donor, the quality of the eggs, and the fertility clinic's expertise. However, egg donation generally has high success rates compared to other fertility treatments.

Egg Donor FAQs
Being an egg donor will not impact your future fertility. The process involves stimulating your ovaries to produce multiple eggs in a single cycle, but these eggs would have been naturally discarded during your menstrual cycle anyway. Thorough medical evaluations and monitoring the procedure closely help to ensure your reproductive health remains intact.
No, as an egg donor, you relinquish all legal rights and responsibilities to any child born from your donated eggs. The IPs assume full legal and parental rights. This ensures that you have no obligations or claims to the child in the future.
Egg donation is typically an anonymous process. While IPs may receive non-identifying information about you, such as your ethnic background and family medical history, as well as your photos, direct meetings usually do not occur. However, complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed if, for example, the child employs genetic testing to attempt to locate you in the future.
