In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that allows you to have children even for those couples who have been diagnosed with infertility. But it happens that pregnancy cannot be achieved even after a large number of attempts, and then the doctor may suggest using donor germ cells. The search for an egg donor must be taken very seriously, since the future of a child conceived using this procedure depends on it.

Instructions
Step 1
If you have already chosen a clinic where you will undergo the IVF procedure, ask your doctor if they provide a donor selection service. Most large clinics have a database on which you can choose the right person. Donation in such cases is anonymous, but you will be provided with information about the candidate's appearance, past illnesses, occupation, hobbies. Sometimes (at the request of the donor) in the database you can find photos of his children. If you choose a donor with the help of the clinic, you can be sure that all the necessary tests for infections and karyotype have been carried out. In the future, the entire IVF procedure will be carried out in the same clinic. Most likely, this method of selecting a candidate for egg donation will be the most inexpensive. In addition, in many clinics there are also banks of frozen oocytes, which will significantly speed up the time before IVF.
Step 2
If the clinic of your choice does not provide such services, you can contact a special agency for the search for donor germ cells. Often, such offices have a larger database than clinics, and there is a high probability of finding a suitable donor.
Step 3
You can also search for a donor yourself - on thematic forums and websites. This method is quite laborious and expensive, since all examinations and analyzes of the donor will be carried out at your expense.
Step 4
It may turn out that some of your relatives or friends will not mind donating their eggs to you. In this case, you will know the identity of the donor, trust him. But it is worth considering that problems may arise in the emotional side of the issue, because the donor will most likely have to see your child more than once, and people are not always able to adequately respond in such a situation.
