We are pleased to announce that our egg donor registry is now available on-line to both current and prospective PFC patients. For many intended parents, having an on-line donor registry affords optimum privacy and convenience when it comes to the egg donor search—an intimate, private, and time-consuming experience. The on-line donor registry is valuable for intended parents living outside of the San Francisco-Bay Area as well. Those wanting to view our donor registry in-person can still do so by contacting our agency in order to schedule an appointment.

The on-line donor registry provides a wealth of information about the egg donor to both current and prospective PFC patients. Prospective patients are eligible to receive “Level 1” access, which allows you to view a donor’s photo along with basic information about the donor. “Level 2” access is available to current PFC patients only and allows you access to additional photos and the donor’s application. Both “Level 1” and “Level 2” access allow the intended parent to search for donors based on criteria such as eye and hair color, ethnicity, region, as well as by certain keywords. The interface is highly intuitive, providing a convenient drop-down menu allowing the intended parent to narrow down the search to meet their particular preferences. For instance, if the intended parent is looking for a blonde donor with blue eyes, the drop-down menu will narrow down the search accordingly. “Level 2” access, however, gives the intended parents the opportunity to review the donor’s entire application and multiple donor photos. Information on the application includes the donor’s personal and family medical history, educational background, and personality traits. The EDA works with PFC’s medical board to cautiously screen each of our donors to increase your chances of having a healthy baby.

In order to access our on-line registry, visit pacificfertilitycenter.com, then select the Egg Donor Agency link to the left, then select Search Egg Donor Registry. The intended parent will be prompted for a username and password. If the intended parent does not have this information, they should call our Egg Donor Agency at 1-800-734-2015. Given the private and personal nature of egg donation—for both intended parents and donors—we have gone to great lengths to ensure that our on-line donor registry has met our rigorous internet security standards.

If someone would like to learn more about our egg donation services and egg donor registry, the first step in the process is to call our Egg Donor Agency or visit our website. Egg donation can be an outstanding family building option for those wanting to conceive but are unable to use their own eggs. Our new on-line egg donor registry will streamline the process of selecting an egg donor, making it easier for intended parents while ensuring privacy for all parties involved.
