Frequently asked questions: intended parents
We understand that fertility journeys come with many questions. Below are some of the most common topics we discuss with intended parents.
How does the egg donation process work with Traveling Donors?
At Traveling Donors, we manage the entire journey from donor matching and screening to travel coordination, clinic communication, and ongoing support. Our team works closely with your fertility clinic to ensure a smooth, personalised, and internationally coordinated experience from start to finish.
How are egg donors screened?
All donors undergo comprehensive medical, genetic, psychological, and infectious disease screening according to international fertility standards and clinic requirements. We prioritise donor health, emotional readiness, and cycle suitability to ensure the safest possible experience for everyone involved.
Can international intended parents work with Traveling Donors?
Yes. We proudly support intended parents from around the world. Our international coordination model allows donors to travel to accredited fertility clinics globally, while our team manages timelines, communication, and logistics throughout the process.
How long does the egg donation process usually take?
Most fresh donor journeys take approximately 8–12 weeks from donor selection to egg retrieval, depending on clinic availability, medical clearances, and travel logistics. Previously screened donors may allow for faster timelines.
Can we choose a donor based on specific preferences?
Yes. Intended parents may review donor profiles based on factors such as ethnicity, physical characteristics, education, personality traits, interests, and medical history. Our team also assists with personalised matching support to help you find the right donor for your journey.
