Selecting an Egg Donor
Selecting an Egg Donor for Your Family
ELITE IVF’s donor matching service is available at no cost, with no obligation to sign an agreement or pay any fees. Our goal is to provide an experience that is relaxing and pressure-free.
The first step in selecting your egg donor is a complimentary consultation with a fertility specialist. We will discuss your medical background, donor preferences and criteria for the best fit. Your personal ELITE IVF coordinator will analyze hundreds of egg donor profiles and guide you through the process. In this initial step, we will help you select a donor that best matches your family.
Our Pre-Screened Egg Donor Database
Our egg donation programs follow the screening guidelines recommended by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).
Besides the requested physical attributes and background sought by the patient, ELITE IVF screens the donor’s medical, social and psychological status. Egg donors will be clear of any common or serious genetic or infectious diseases and in excellent health. They will have proven fertility, and have undergone at least one cycle of stimulation and egg collection, before being matched.

It’s a Miracle! I sincerely and profoundly appreciate ELITE IVF’s support, your presence and especially your efficiency in responding to all of our needs during this process.
