What should you ask a coach?
Only you know what you’re looking for, but we can help get you there. There are FAQs, and then there are QYSAs (Questions You Should Ask). These questions can help intended parents understand how to frame this personal search with us.
What should I look for in an egg donor?
Start with the basics: Is the donor herself healthy, and does she come from a healthy family background? Is she within the age range required by your clinic? Does she have qualities about her that make you like her as a person? And finally, is she someone you might like to be friends with, or at least sit down to talk with over coffee?
How much time is this all going to take?
Plan for a timeline of about 2-3 months from your match to your donor’s retrieval. Give yourself some time to search for your donor using the Tulip database – but remember that donors sometimes get matched quickly.
Can I use a donor from a fertility clinic program?
Absolutely. Tulip hosts several clinic donor egg databases. You'll need to work directly with that clinic. Don't worry, we'll connect you through the Tulip platform.
Need more help finding a donor?
Our Tulip coaches are helpful and responsive, but sometimes users need more hands-on assistance. Luckily, Tulip was founded by Donor Concierge, a premier service that can offer even more support and guidance on your fertility journey, as well conduct the search on your behalf based on the criteria you outline.
