Using an egg donor to attempt conception is an amazing family building option for women who are not able to provide their own viable eggs. However, choosing an egg donor can be overwhelming and scary. Some people have equated looking at donor profiles to being on match.com. In some ways, it is like match.com. But the process can be easier and less stressful if you are prepared, and know what is important to you before looking at potential egg donor profiles.
Some important points to consider:
-Is the donor’s religious background important to you?
-What physical and personality traits are you looking for?
-Are academic achievements important to you?
-What type of medical history are you willing to accept?
It is important to consider these points for yourself, and also talk with your partner about them. Ranking which points are most important, and which points are desirable but not necessary can also be helpful. No potential egg donor will be perfect, as none of us are, but it is important to find the donor that is perfect for you.
