What kinds of donors are available?
There are two basic types of egg donors:
Known donors 她们通常是姐妹,但也可以是表兄弟姐妹、侄女、朋友,有时是熟人. 他们可能是有偿的,也可能是无偿的,但所有已知的捐赠者都必须通过最低的筛选标准.
Recruited donors -这些妇女通常是具有极好的生育潜力的年轻妇女,她们的时间和努力得到了报酬. 招募的捐赠者可以通过卵子捐赠机构或通过 UCSF Center for Reproductive Health in-house donor pool.
How does UCSF screen its in-house donors?
We have a highly selective and comprehensive screening process. 潜在的捐赠者完成一份详细的调查问卷,由我们的团队审核. 那些符合特定标准的人将被邀请完成额外的筛选, which involves meetings with our coordinator, a reproductive endocrinologist, a psychologist and a genetic counselor.
生殖内分泌学家从医学角度筛选捐赠者, 而我们的心理学家会从心理学角度对捐赠者进行筛选. 我们的董事会认证的遗传咨询师筛选出生缺陷或遗传性疾病的家族史,采取全面的家族史. You may request a report of the findings and the family tree.
The prospective donor also undergoes a physical exam, 培养和血液测试,以排除传染病,如艾滋病毒, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhea and chlamydia. In addition, 我们会对献血者进行血型测试,并对其进行囊性纤维化和与血红蛋白相关的遗传性疾病筛查, such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia, depending on ethnicity.
In most cases, 捐赠者只有在他们的筛选完成后才能获得,并且根据我们所有的指导方针,他们被指定为符合十大赌博靠谱网络平台. In recruiting and screening donors, 我们遵循美国生殖医学协会的指导方针, the U.S. 食品和药物管理局和我们自己的机构道德委员会.
What are the benefits of using UCSF's in-house donor pool?
There are several benefits. Because of our comprehensive screening process, 你不太可能经历这样的失望:小心翼翼地从一家机构中选择捐献者,却发现他们在经过医学筛选后不符合十大赌博靠谱网络平台. 在卵子捐赠过程中,您将只与一个中心合作. Finally, 使用我们的捐赠者通常比与代理机构合作更便宜,因为没有额外的代理费用.
What about choosing a donor from an outside agency?
We also work with many outside ovum donor agencies. Outside agencies recruit and partially screen donors. 然后,该机构帮助夫妇从他们的供体池中确定可能的供体匹配. 我们很乐意帮助协调捐赠者的卵子周期与外部机构的捐赠者.
使用外部机构的一个好处是可供选择的范围更大. Because there are many agencies in the Bay Area, 通过与机构合作,夫妇们可能更容易找到符合自己特定标准的捐赠者.
If you're interested in using an outside donor agency, we will provide you with a list of local agencies. 我们建议你直接询问他们的招聘和筛选政策和程序. 来自外部机构的捐助者必须通过该机构安排进行心理健康检查,并且必须符合特定的资格标准, such as recent infectious disease screening, to proceed with a cycle within our center. 一旦被选中,我们的十大赌博平台排行榜将在我们的办公室检查,然后制定周期计划.
What should I look for in a donor?
为了最大限度地提高成功的可能性,我们建议35岁以下的捐赠者. Most egg donors are between the ages 21 and 30. 其他增加成功几率的因素是以前曾怀孕到足月, 或者之前完成了卵子捐赠周期并取得了良好的效果.
许多患者考虑的其他因素是身体特征, ethnic background, family medical history, educational background and personality characteristics. 我们的整个团队可以帮助您解决有关选择过程的任何问题.
Yes. 从社区招募的捐助者通常愿意与受援者见面,如果受援者希望与他们见面的话. 通常这种会面是在不交换姓氏等身份信息的情况下安排的, addresses or telephone numbers, to preserve anonymity. 如果你愿意,会议可以在我们的办公室举行,我们的心理学家会协助你. 如果你使用一个机构的捐赠者,该机构也可以协助安排会议.
What if I have a known donor I'd like to work with?
第一步是和你的生殖内分泌专家讨论你已知的供体. 他或她将帮助确定这个人是否是一个好的候选人. Known donors are usually younger than 35 years old, in good health and have a healthy family background.
What are the legal implications?
你的捐赠者将签署一份同意书,在这份同意书中,她将放弃对她捐赠的卵子的所有权利和责任. In California, 除了预先安排的妊娠载体协议外,分娩婴儿的妇女是合法的母亲. For women using egg donation to conceive, 没有必要提交任何法律文件来确定孩子的亲子关系.
关于使用捐赠卵子的法律在不同的州和国家有所不同. We can provide legal assistance resources if desired.
