Typical workflow (high level)

  1. Confirm eligibility: requirements, records, and a quick pre-screen.
  2. Screening: medical records review, background checks, and psychological screening.
  3. Matching: profile review, introduction, and alignment on expectations.
  4. Legal: agreements are reviewed and signed before medical steps proceed.
  5. Medical cycle + transfer: the clinic manages timing, medications, and monitoring.
  6. Pregnancy + delivery: ongoing care coordination through birth and postpartum wrap-up.

What can vary (and why)

  • Clinic schedules and medical protocols (individualized to the situation).
  • State and international legal requirements (especially for parentage workflows).
  • Matching preferences and availability (fit matters).
  • Insurance and financial structure (coverage details can change).
  • Logistics like travel, time zones, and appointment availability.

Questions to ask (so you don’t get surprised later)

  • What are the next 2–3 steps in my specific situation?
  • What documents or records should I prepare before we start?
  • Which decisions should I make now vs later?
  • Who will be my primary point of contact during the journey?
  • How will we communicate and share updates (email, calls, portal)?
  • What are the typical milestones from start to finish?
  • What support is available during pregnancy (coordination, counseling, emergency support)?
  • What expenses are covered and how do reimbursements work?
