The process of qualifying egg donors is a multi-step process designed to provide the highest possible level of safety to both the donor and the recipient. First, a potential egg donor fills out a medical questionnaire. The questionnaire covers issues related to the donor’s health, medical history and genetic history. If the basic medical criteria are met, we perform hormonal tests to check the patient’s fertility, which are followed by pathogenicity tests and specialised genetic tests. There have been situations in the past where a young woman who had signed up for an honorary donation programme learned at that stage that she had a low ovarian reserve herself and she needed to speed up her own decision to have offspring. This is an additional benefit of taking part in such a qualification – women who might have difficulty getting pregnant in the future are informed about their health before it is too late. After a relevant laboratory diagnosis is performed and a consultation with the doctor is made, the next step is to meet with a psychologist. This is one of the most important stages of the qualification – the interview with a specialist is aimed at ruling out any potential mental disorders and verifying the emotional maturity of the donor. During the meeting, she can learn more about the possible consequences of participating in the programme, reflect on her motivations and reactions to potential situations in the future, and make a fully informed decision.
