Frequently Asked Questions

The Perfect Gene is an egg donor matching brokerage. We help intended parents compare donor options and coordinate administrative next steps. We are not a fertility clinic or an egg bank; independent clinicians and attorneys handle treatment and legal advice.

A bank offers stored eggs; a brokerage helps with matching and coordination. Services can overlap across providers, so ask what your actual proposal includes. The Perfect Gene does not hold its own frozen egg inventory.

Request a current written explanation of matching fees, funding arrangements, inclusions, and cancellation terms. Do not assume that a matching proposal covers donor compensation, legal work, clinic care, medications, or travel. The cost guide flags current quotes still needed.

Our matching service focus is the United States. Ask your chosen clinic about acceptance of the proposed donor arrangement and your reproductive attorney about any state-specific issues. A service-area statement does not imply a partnership with every clinic.

This website currently focuses on egg donor matching and does not accept surrogacy applications. Ask general questions through our contact guidance; do not send sensitive medical information through ordinary email.

Public introductions use approved, privacy-conscious material. Availability of other photographs depends on the donor's permissions and the arrangement. Profile access does not permit public reposting or attempts to identify a donor.

Timing varies with preferences, availability, records, and clinic review. Request a milestone-based estimate for your specific plan. A selected profile is not medical clearance or a guaranteed retrieval date.

Ask which records are available, which evaluations are complete, and what your clinic still requires. Clinical and genetic findings need professional interpretation. Request an approved private communication method for sensitive records.

ID-release generally provides a documented route to identifying information under specified future conditions; non-ID-release does not offer that contractual release. Read the actual terms. Neither label guarantees contact or permanent anonymity.

Our matching approach helps organize donor options around your preferences and your clinic's requirements. A biography, photograph, credential, or personal interest does not predict a child's abilities or establish medical suitability.

Use a general consultation to clarify donor routes, preferences, service scope, costs, and next steps. Ask about current scheduling and terms. Request a private method before sharing medical or genetic details.

The treating clinic determines the clinical locations and attendance requirements. A fresh donor cycle may involve travel; frozen eggs require receiving-clinic acceptance and release arrangements. Confirm the actual plan and expenses.

There is no universal duration. Matching, legal review, screening, donor availability, and clinic scheduling can change timing. See our matching timeline guide and ask the clinic about medical milestones separately.

Yes. We work with intended parents throughout all 50 states. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

We can discuss administrative coordination with your chosen clinic, subject to its acceptance and requirements. The clinic makes medical decisions. This does not assert a documented partnership with a specific practice.

Ask about alternative options and the applicable rematch, refund, or credit terms. Availability is not guaranteed, and a change may affect timing, records, fees, and clinic review.

First-time donor compensation starts at $15,000, with higher compensation for repeat donors and select profiles. Final compensation is confirmed in writing for each match and depends on experience, profile, and the specific arrangement. Compare matching, legal, screening, medications, clinic care, and travel separately. This starting compensation is not an all-in treatment price. See the updated cost guide.

This website markets egg donor matching only and does not offer a surrogacy application. Questions about another family-building arrangement need separate professional guidance.

Coverage depends on your actual plan, employer arrangement, services, and exclusions. Ask the insurer and clinic billing team to confirm donor-related benefits in writing. Do not infer coverage from residence or an IVF benefit alone.

Financing may be considered independently, but it is optional borrowing and can add interest or fees. This site does not endorse a lender. Ask a qualified financial or tax professional about your circumstances.
