Step 1: Search for an Egg Donor

From you initial contact, we’ll send over our basic, free Egg Donor Profiles; which contain photos and basic background information (like height, eye color, ethnicity, education, base fee, etc). You may select the physical and ethnic characteristics you prefer, then a list of matching profiles will be populated for you. Choose the donors you desire and ask for access to their full profiles from us for more details.

Step 2: Reserve Donor, Sign Contracts, and Pay Retainer Fee

After reviewing the detailed profiles, and identifying your ideal candidate(s), you have the option to reserve up to 2 available donors for a period of 72 hours. Please contact us to discuss your selections and let us know any questions or concerns you may have. At this time, our team at Legacy Love will send you an agreement with a cost estimate for your review & signature. Once we receive your signed agreement these back, matching process will start with your donor and other providers that will be involved in the egg retrieval procedure as well as legal matters related to the process.

Step 3: Matching Process

The matching process will be lead by one of our professionals. We provide guidance through all necessary steps, including but not limited to coordination & facilitation of appointments & contacts with the donor, psychologists, attorneys, as well as fertility specialists. Depending on your anonymity preferences and the donor’s, you may meet personally or not. After selection, the donor will go through further psychological and medical screening. The egg retrieval will only take place, once the donor has passed all tests and received medical clearances.

Step 4: Egg Retrieval and Completion of Cycle

Approximately 2-3 weeks before to the egg retrieval procedure, the donor starts taking hormone injections to stimulate her ovaries and produce mature eggs. The Egg retrieval is non-surgical and done under sedation. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to perform. After confirmation of the retrieval from the physician, final fees are sent to the Egg Donor.
