Your pace

Save your application and return when you’re ready.

Your story

Choose what belongs in your reviewed donor profile.

Your decision

An introduction never obligates you to proceed.

GETTING STARTED WITH COVE

A clear next step.
Not a leap.

Keep your application, profile, and updates in one place. Begin with what you know; take the time you need for the rest.

  1. 01

    Tell us about yourself.

    Create your free account, then share your background, health history, and preferences. Save your application and return when you’re ready.

  2. 02

    See where things stand.

    Submit for review. Your donor dashboard brings together your application status, requested information, and next steps.

  3. 03

    Consider a connection.

    A reviewed profile can help intended parents get to know you. An introduction is a chance to explore, not a promise or a commitment to treatment.

THE PART THAT DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION

More than an application.
A decision about your body.

Your health

A clinic reviews your medical and family history and completes screening. Cove profile approval is not medical clearance.

Your schedule

A donation cycle involves medication, monitoring appointments, egg retrieval, and recovery. Discuss how those fit around your work, school, and everyday life.

Your questions

Understand the risks before treatment, including medication side effects, ovarian hyperstimulation, and retrieval complications. Ask the clinic about your individual situation.

COMPENSATION

Your time matters.
So do the details.

Before agreeing to a cycle, understand the compensation, expenses, and payment terms in writing. Joining Cove is free for egg donors.

Questions worth asking

  • What is the agreed compensation, and when is it paid?
  • Which travel, appointment, and other expenses are covered?
  • What happens if the cycle changes or is cancelled?
  • Who covers treatment-related complications?

Amounts and terms depend on the arrangement. Cove does not guarantee compensation or a completed donation.
