Egg Donor America/Egg Bank America
Description
Egg Donor America and Egg Bank America operate an egg donation agency and frozen donor egg bank to support intended parents and fertility centers in the United States and intended parents from other countries. The current website primarily describes shipment of frozen egg batches to U.S. fertility centers.
The organizations aim to make egg donor selection easier through a searchable donor database and personal coordination with the fertility specialist chosen by the intended parents. Egg Donor America states that it and Egg Bank America were founded by fertility specialist Dr. Pierre Asmar, who oversees the donor program.
Egg Bank America currently offers frozen donor eggs exclusively. It advertises both frozen batches ready for immediate shipment and the option to select another donor from its broader database, after which the donor undergoes retrieval and the eggs are frozen before shipment. The organizations serve single woman, LGBTQ+ intended parents and couples.
Donor types and services
The online egg donor database contains hundreds of profiles. Registration is required for full access. The selection process allows intended parents to review donor characteristics and work with the team on screening, logistics and coordination with their fertility center.
The frozen egg program uses vitrified donor eggs and advertises a blastocyst guarantee for batches of six to eight frozen eggs. If a batch does not produce at least one blastocyst available for transfer, it offers another batch at no additional charge. The applicable program conditions should be checked before purchase.
The website describes known and anonymous egg donation in general educational material. It does not clearly publish a current donor-by-donor identity-release classification for its frozen egg inventory, so the identity and future-contact terms should be checked for any selected donor.
The website offers information in English with language selection for Spanish, French, German and Italian. Its public shipping offer specifically refers to fertility centers in the United States, while arrangements for clinics elsewhere should be confirmed directly.
Genetic test panel
Egg Donor America describes medical, genetic and psychological screening before donation with medical checks include ovarian reserve assessment, blood type, infectious disease testing, drug screening and general health review. Genetic screening considers family history and blood tests for inherited conditions, with cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell anemia and thalassemia given as examples.
The public material reviewed does not specify one standardized panel, laboratory or number of genes tested for every egg donor. Donor-specific genetic results, the testing date and recipient compatibility should therefore be requested when evaluating a particular donor.
Origin and locations
