Egg donation is a crucial component of many surrogacy journeys, helping intended parents build their families. At Stork Baby, we have implemented a thorough screening process for egg donors to ensure the best possible outcomes. Let’s explore the key steps involved in this process.
Medical Evaluation:
The cornerstone of our screening process is a comprehensive medical assessment. Potential egg donors undergo:
-
Blood tests for infectious diseases and hormonal levels
-
Ultrasounds to evaluate ovarian health and fertility potential
-
Genetic screening for hereditary conditions
-
A thorough physical examination
Psychological Assessment:
Understanding the emotional aspects of egg donation, we conduct psychological evaluations that include:
-
Interviews with mental health professionals
-
Personality assessments
-
Discussions about the potential impacts of donation
Family Medical History:
We conduct an in-depth review of the donor’s personal and family medical history, focusing on:
-
Personal medical conditions and treatments
-
Family history of genetic disorders and health issues
-
Lifestyle factors that may influence fertility
By implementing these rigorous screening measures, we aim to protect the health and well-being of both donors and intended parents.
