Recruitment and screening<\/h2>\n

Egg donors at O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic are healthy, young, attractive and well-educated women who must pass a number of medical tests before they join our donor bank. They are also psychologically screened and counselled to ensure that they are comfortable with the commitment required in egg donation. Our selection process for egg donors enables us to offer you the reassurance you need in making your choice. <\/strong><\/p>\n

General requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under Russian law, egg donors (ovum donors) can be healthy women aged between 20 and 35 who have (a) healthy child(ren) of their own. These conditions comply with the requirements of the European Society for Human Reproduction (ESHRE). The average age for our egg donors is just 26, and none of our donors is above the age of 31. All our donors are anonymous, as allowed under Russian law.
If you prefer to bring your own egg donor to O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, she may be over the age of 35. However, the success rate of treatment is lower when older egg donors are involved. There are also higher genetic risks, particularly in terms of conditions such as Down’s Syndrome, so prenatal diagnosis is recommended.<\/p>\n

How we screen candidates<\/strong><\/p>\n

At O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, egg donors undergo a comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation to ensure they are fit to donate. The screening starts with an initial interview to evaluate the general abilities and intellectual capacity of a potential donor.
\nAccording to Russian law and in compliance with the recommendations of ESHRE and ASRM (the American Society for Reproductive Medicine), ovum donors in our clinic undergo the following tests:<\/strong>\"egg<\/p>\n
