Egg Donation and CORM's Egg Donor Program
Be a "Miracle Maker" by becoming an Egg Donor
Egg donation has been in practice in the U.S. since 1986. A "Miracle Maker" is an exceptionally caring person who donates her eggs anonymously to an infertile couple.
A woman who receives donor eggs may do so for the following reasons: previous chemotherapy, premature menopause, absent or declining ovarian function, transmission of genetic disease, or poor oocyte/embryo quality determined by past IVF cycles.
To begin the donor application process with the CORM egg donor programĀ you must meet the following basic qualifications:
- Female age 20-30
- Non-smoker
- Healthy weight range
- Normal results from physical exam, ultrasound, and consultation at our office.
- Normal results of lab tests.
- Psychological consultation and personality testing of you with a psychologist.
If you are interested in becoming an egg donor, please complete the Donor Screening Form and fax to (281) 557-5837 or email to info@infertilitytexas.com.
Once we have received and reviewed your Donor Screening information, you will be informed whether you have been denied or will proceed to the next step in becoming a donor.
If you are chosen to continue in the donor process, you will be asked to complete a more detailed Donor Application Form and provide 6 to 8 photos of yourself, including one (1) full-length photo.
After we have received and reviewed your records, we will schedule a consultation, possible physical exam and ultrasound. You may have a hormonal blood test done on your first, second, or third day of your menstrual period. You will complete the remaining requirements (lab tests and psychological evaluation) after a recipient couple has chosen you. If you complete the qualifications, you will be notified and matched with the recipient to start the process. You will have a second consultation with Dr. Schnell or Dr. Sims to discuss consent forms.
