From Match Confirmation to Departure Day
The Traveling Donors Journey:
Once a donor has officially been matched with intended parents, Traveling Donors begins a carefully coordinated international preparation process designed to ensure that every step feels supported, organised, and professionally managed.
Below is an example of what donors can typically expect before traveling for their egg donation journey.
Step 1 — Match Confirmation
Once medical compatibility and intended parent selection have been confirmed, the donor receives an official match offer containing:
- Destination country
- Estimated travel dates
- IVF clinic information
- Treating doctor details
- Compensation information
- Accommodation details
- Travel benefits and allowances
The donor then confirms acceptance of the match before coordination begins.
Step 2 — Initial Coordination & Welcome Process
After accepting the match, the Traveling Donors coordination team begins preparing the donor for the upcoming cycle.
This stage may include:
- Welcome documentation
- Donor handbook guidance
- Travel preparation discussions
- Communication with coordinators
- Timeline planning
- Medication preparation
- Appointment scheduling
Our coordinators remain closely involved throughout the entire process to ensure donors always know what to expect next.
Step 3 — Medical Screening & Fertility Assessments
Once a donor match has been confirmed, comprehensive medical screening begins in coordination with the IVF clinic and fertility specialists.
Screening may include:
- Blood tests
- Infectious disease screening
- Hormone evaluations
- Ultrasound scans
- AMH testing
- Genetic carrier screening
- Psychological assessments
Traveling Donors works with internationally recognised partners including:
- Igenomix
- Fulgent Genetics
Our goal is to ensure responsible, ethical, and professionally coordinated fertility care throughout every journey.
Step 4: Receive Your Match Offer
Once intended parents have selected your profile and medical approval is received, you will receive a comprehensive Match Offer outlining:
- Destination
- Travel dates
- IVF clinic
- Compensation
- Accommodation
- Flights
- Coordinator support
Our team will guide you through every detail before confirming your participation.
Step 5 — Legal Documentation & Consent Forms
Before the cycle officially starts, donors review and sign the required legal agreements and consent documentation.
These agreements generally cover:
- Confidentiality
- Donor responsibilities
- Medical procedures
- Parentage rights
- Compensation arrangements
- International travel coordination
Our team guides donors carefully through all documentation and remains available for support and clarification throughout the process.
Step 6 — Medication Coordination
Once the clinic confirms the treatment protocol, medication preparation begins.
Traveling Donors coordinates:
- Fertility medication orders
- Medication delivery or collection
- Injection guidance
- Monitoring schedules
- Scan appointments

Donors are carefully guided on how and when to administer medication safely and correctly.
Step 7 — Monitoring Phase
During stimulation, donors attend regular monitoring appointments to track follicle development and treatment progress.
Monitoring appointments may include:
- Ultrasound scans
- Blood tests
- Medication adjustments
- Fertility specialist reviews
This phase is carefully managed to ensure donor safety and optimal treatment timing.

Depending on the programme, this may include:
