Before a donor is fully approved, Lotus Donor Bank completes a comprehensive screening process designed to evaluate health, eligibility, and readiness for donation.
Medical history review
Family health history review
Genetic screening
Psychological evaluation
Hormone testing
Ultrasound evaluation
Infectious disease testing
Urine drug screening
Because several evaluations and appointments may be involved, this stage can take a few weeks depending on scheduling, test completion, and clinical review.

Once you are fully approved and ready to move forward, you’ll begin the treatment phase of the egg donation process.
Fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries so multiple eggs can develop during the same cycle. Throughout treatment, you’ll attend monitoring appointments so the clinical team can track your response and determine the appropriate timing for egg retrieval.
Lotus Donor Bank supports donors with clear medication instructions, coordinated appointments, and ongoing communication so you know what to expect throughout each stage of the cycle.

Egg retrieval is the final clinical step of the donation cycle.
It is typically a short outpatient procedure lasting about 15–20 minutes, with donors asleep during the procedure and usually able to return home the same day.
After retrieval, your care team will provide recovery instructions, explain what to expect over the next few days, and remain available for any follow-up questions or concerns.

Lotus Donor Bank offers different donor participation options depending on program needs, donor preference, and eligibility.
Many Lotus Donor Bank donors participate through a non-identifying donation arrangement, which helps protect personal identifying information throughout the process.
Intended parents may still review approved profile information such as medical and family history, education, photos, interests, and other non-identifying details that help them learn more about a donor.
Direct contact or a meeting with intended parents would only occur when requested and agreed to by both parties and when permitted under the applicable program and legal requirements.

Open-ID donors remain non-identifying throughout the donation process, with personal identifying information kept private from intended parents.
The difference is what may happen later: an Open-ID donor agrees that identifying information may be released to a donor-conceived person once they reach adulthood and request it, subject to program terms and applicable laws.
Before you choose this option, the Lotus Donor Bank team will explain what Open-ID participation means so you can understand the expectations and decide what feels right for you.

Depending on eligibility, timing, availability, and current program needs, Lotus Donor Bank donors may participate in either a fresh matched cycle or a frozen banking cycle.
With a fresh matched cycle, treatment begins after an intended parent or family selects you as their donor.Because the cycle is connected to a specific match, the timeline can vary. Some donors may be selected quickly, while others may wait longer based on intended parent preferences and current demand.
This path may be a good fit for donors who are comfortable waiting for a specific match before beginning treatment.
With a frozen banking cycle, your eggs are retrieved and vitrified for future use by intended parents.
Depending on medical approval and program needs, this option may allow treatment to begin sooner after screening is complete.
Once frozen, donor eggs may later be selected and coordinated for shipment to an approved fertility clinic.

Depending on the type of donation cycle, legal documents may be part of the process before treatment begins.
Lotus Donor Bank covers attorney review for donors so you can ask questions, review the terms of the agreement, and make sure you feel informed before signing.
The goal is to give you time and support to understand the agreement and move forward with confidence.
