Home » Intended Parents » Egg Donation Process
The egg donation process gives intended parents a path to parenthood using donor eggs. At EDSI, we guide you through each step, from selecting your donor to egg retrieval. This page explains what to expect at every stage.
Each donor profile includes photos, ethnicity, eye color, education, height, and base compensation. Registered intended parents can access medical history, family background, and genetic screening details.
You can filter profiles by appearance, ethnicity, education, and other characteristics. EDSI helps you find options that match your family-building goals.
Once you select your preferred donors, you can request access to their full profiles. From there, EDSI walks you through registration and the next steps in your journey.
Registration gives you secure access to full donor information that’s only available to verified intended parents. It also helps us support and protect everyone throughout the process.
Once your account is active, you’ll be able to view complete donor profiles. These include personal background, family medical history, and photos that aren’t shown to the public.
Your access stays active for five days. If you need more time, just contact our office and we’ll extend it for you.
You can reserve up to two donors for 72 hours. This gives you time to make a final decision and complete the necessary paperwork.
The retainer confirms that you’re ready to move forward with a specific donor. It includes cost estimates, contracts, and allows us to begin the legal and medical coordination steps.
Reach out to your EDSI coordinator to finalize your donor choice, review agreements, and begin clinical coordination.
An EDSI professional will help schedule your consultations, work with your clinic, and manage all third-party providers involved in the process.
We handle appointments with your fertility clinic, reproductive attorney, and the donor’s psychologist or physician, depending on the stage you’re in.
Yes. You can choose an anonymous, semi-open, or open arrangement. We support the level of privacy that works best for you and your donor.
About two to three weeks before the procedure, the donor starts hormone injections to stimulate egg production. During this time, she is monitored with regular ultrasounds and blood tests.
Egg retrieval is a non-surgical procedure done under light sedation. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is performed by a reproductive endocrinologist at a fertility clinic.
After the physician confirms the retrieval is complete, EDSI releases the donor’s final compensation according to the terms of your agreement.
After retrieval, the clinic fertilizes the eggs to create embryos. These may be tested, frozen, or transferred to a surrogate, depending on your next steps.
Yes. EDSI continues to support you by coordinating with your clinic and any other providers involved through embryo transfer and beyond.
