NIAW 2026 Hub / Egg Donor Screening
How Egg Donor Screening Works: The Standard That Selects Fewer Than 2% of Applicants
Published by RSMC · NIAW 2026
Every egg donor profile in the gallery represents someone who has already cleared medical screening (including a physical exam, hormone panel, and FDA-required infectious disease testing), genetic carrier screening, a psychological evaluation by a licensed professional, and a full personal history review.
By the time you are reviewing a profile, the hard work of verification is already done. You are not assessing risk; you are making a match.
Every profile in the egg donor gallery has already passed each stage below.
STEP
SCREENING CATEGORY
WHAT IT COVERS
01
Medical Screening
Physical exam, hormone panel (AMH, AFC), and FDA-required infectious disease testing.
02
Genetic Carrier Screening
Comprehensive panel testing for inheritable conditions across hundreds of genes.
03
Psychological Evaluation
Independent assessment by a licensed mental health professional experienced in third-party reproduction.
04
Personal History Review
Full family medical history, lifestyle review, and verification of identity and background.
When we refer intended parents to an egg bank, these are the standards we hold that bank to.
A comprehensive screening process is not a formality; it is the foundation of a safe and clinically sound egg donation program.
At Lucina Egg Bank – RSMC’s egg donor partner – fewer than 2% of applicants pass all criteria and are accepted into the program. That figure reflects the rigor of the full process, not any single screening step.
