On May 25, 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new regulations governing how donor egg, donor sperm and surrogate cycles are handled at fertility clinics. Lotus Blossom Consulting, through our partner Jade Tree Solutions LLC, provides assistance and support to save time and help you avoid costly mistakes when undergoing a donor egg, donor sperm or surrogate cycle.
For known and anonymous donor or surrogate situations, fertility clinics must ensure that donors have been screened and tested appropriately before the cycle occurs. If they do not, there is the possibility that:
- The cycle may be delayed
- The cycle may be canceled at the last minute
- Patients are denied access to their chosen donor or surrogate; and possibly
- Future cycles are jeopardized
We help you understand how the regulation affects your situation and what measures you need to take to ensure proper execution of your cycle.
Our affiliation with Jade Tree Solutions, LLC, offers you:
- Comprehensive consultations that include:
- Review of your situation
- Discussion of applicable FDA requirements
- Questions to ask the donor or surrogate agency or fertility practice
- Review of donor and intended parent FDA-applicable records (if needed)
- Facilitate between donor or surrogate agency or fertility clinic (if needed)
- Assist in crisis management situations
