For both sides we build a profile that takes into account characteristics, jobs, hobbies, interests, values, humour and education. Once we have a good understanding, we go out and look for a donor that matches the criteria. Once we’ve been given the go ahead from the recipient, we actively start looking for a donor. This includes advertising on various channels, working with our team of donor ambassadors and hosting events and webinars to engage with potential egg donors. We get to know our egg donors really well, building comprehensive profiles to share. 

In addition to matching physical attributes, we also want to provide the opportunity to get a feel of the donor as a person. We provide donors with a lengthy questionnaire to complete called the Personal Profile. After the answers are checked for identifying information, they are shared with the recipients. 

Questions donors may see on the profile include: ‘What made you donate?’, ‘What is your career?’, ‘What are your likes and dislikes?’, ‘What makes you angry?’ and, ‘If you had unlimited time and money, how would you spend them?’

The Personal Profile is an incredibly meaningful tool. For recipients, it’s a window into the donor’s mind, and for the donor, an opportunity to share it. And for us, it’s supplementary information to help us get the match right. 

On top of general information, medical history and personal profile, we ask donors to share a non-identifying photo of themselves as a baby or a toddler, which is then shared with the recipient, if they wish. Donors are under no obligation to do this, but many choose to. 

We also have photos of the donors as adults, and use these to help us match on the physical side. However, because they are identifying, we cannot share these with recipients.

We know time matters with egg donation, and unlike egg banks or many clinics, we can match you within weeks, not years. Currently, it takes around 4-6 weeks to be matched with an Altrui egg donor, although it does also depend on how specific your requirements are and whether a donor comes forward who matches your criteria. 

All of our egg donors are all based in the UK, and thanks to our virtual pathways and network of clinics you (and they) can get started relatively quickly from home and receive treatment as close to home as possible.

Once we are confident we have made a match, we share as much non-identifying information as the recipients like. Again, this is very personal – some recipients love as much donor information as possible, and come back with lots of questions. Others don’t feel comfortable with too much. There is no right or wrong way, and we’ll tailor our approach according to your wishes.

If the recipient or recipient couple agree with the match, we can proceed with the next step. If for some reason the recipient doesn’t agree, we try to understand the reasoning, and set out to look for a replacement. 

Once the recipient agrees, we can let the donor know that we’ve made a match. This can be a really emotional and wonderful moment for the egg donor, and we’ve had these amazing ladies shed tears of happiness as a result before. We have the unique privilege of getting to know these wonderful women, who are driven, above all, by the desire to help someone else.

It is at this point that we can make arrangements for fertility treatment.
