Egg donation is both a medical process and a significant personal commitment. As part of the Lotus Donor Bank screening process, donors complete a psychological evaluation with a licensed professional.
This conversation is designed to help ensure you understand the donation process, expectations, and potential emotional considerations, while giving you the opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision about moving forward.
Successful egg donation requires more than meeting medical criteria. Lotus Donor Bank looks for donors who are dependable, responsive, and prepared to follow through with each stage of the process.

Travel when necessary
