Steps

Matching
Traditional Nest bank path: no wait for IP match before cycling (eggs for bank/database). Egg Share: profile goes live for Spring patients; match then screening. IP side: browse Nest donor database.
Application
Online donor questionnaire (donorprescreen) → FDA prescreen / more questions → AMH at LabCorp → Nest Patient Navigator → initial screening at Spring clinic (ultrasound, H&P, labs) → psych + genetic consult → cleared → cycle calendar → retrieval
Donor coordinator
Nest Patient Navigator / Nest team; Spring Fertility clinical care

Covered and limits

Medications
Yes
Legal counsel

Identity
Egg Donor Journey PDF (donor-facing): donors remain unidentified re: relationship with IPs/baby. FAQ also discusses Closed / Semi-open / Open models and states anonymity cannot be guaranteed due to at-home DNA testing (FAQ block appears under broader/embryo involvement Qs — treat Closed/Semi-open/Open as site-offered pathways, not a contradiction of bank unidentified default without more donor-page detail).
Cycle limit
6
Frozen cycles
Yes
Also offers surrogacy
No
