How does a recipient couple get matched with a donated embryo?
Recipient couples are asked to fill out a matching request form, indicating physical and personal characteristics of the recipient couple and asking for any specific characteristics requested in the embryos they will be matched with. Once received, the Donor Embryo Coordinator will review the matching request form and select 3-5 donor embryos who fit those criteria. Couples will then be asked to select one donor embryo couple from that list. Those embryos will be exclusively offered to the couple for 14 days. Beyond 14 days, the embryos will be offered to other couples and the couple will lose their exclusive choice of those donated embryos.
