Atlanta Egg Donor Program
Egg Donation in Georgia
At ACRM, the Third Party Program staff is dedicated to working with those
patients involved in third party reproduction either through egg recipiency,
sperm recipiency, egg donation, use of or serving as a gestational carrier,
or embryo donation. Our dedicated health care professionals work day-in
and day-out to meet the specialized needs and concerns of these patients.
The Third Party program staff also works closely with the Patient Financial
Services staff to ensure a patient fully understands their financial options
and insurance benefits.
Our Donor Program Team
The Third Party Team brings together over 50 years of experience working
with infertile patients. Fertility specialist
Jim Toner, MD, PhD leads ACRM's Third Party Program as its medical director. Dr. Toner,
together with Third Party Program Coordinator, Mirrin Reagan, RN, CNS,
WHNP-BC, work closely to ensure that each egg recipient and donor receive
personal, individualized care. They also work closely with several mental
and emotional health experts who specialize in infertility issues to ensure
all patients’ emotional needs and concerns are addressed.
The Third Party team team is located at our Atlanta-Perimeter office, but
we can also coordinate your screening and monitoring at any one of our
four metro-Atlanta offices.
Information for Egg Recipients
For many couples, choosing to use donated eggs provides the best option
for their family building. When you choose to enter the Third Party Program,
our experienced team of Atlanta fertility doctors, midlevel providers,
nurses, and support personnel will guide
egg recipients through the process step-by-step. We maintain strict confidentiality and
fully comply with the quality guidelines proposed by the American Society
of Reproductive Medicine.
Information for Egg Donors
Egg Donor Applicants are each evaluated to ensure their appropriateness for this
specialized therapy. All potential egg donors undergo a complete evaluation
which includes:
- A review of personal and family medical history
- Genetic counseling and testing
- FDA-mandated infectious disease testing
- Ovarian reserve testing, drug and nicotine screening
- Psychological testing and counseling
If an egg donor applicant qualifies after screening is completed, her eggs
will be frozen and become part of the ACRM Egg Bank.
