 Topic: Egg Donation/Donors
Posted: 04 December 2013 at 11:45am |

Hi all, we have just been told that our only hope now of conceiving a child is through egg donation. We are now on the database. Was wondering if there are others out there also going through this and if anyone has received donated eggs and how do you feel etc?

Hi
Just want to wish you all the very best in finding a donor. I have a beautiful little girl who is 17 months today, thanks to a NZ donor. If you want to ask any questions feel free to PM and I will try and answer.
She is very much my little girl and I love her to the moon and back ( and beyond ). Can't imagine life without her. Its an amazing gift a donor give, the chance of becoming a Mum.
Take care
FG

Hi there, i would be interested as well. We are looking at egg donotion and qualify for government funded treatment shortly. However, the process of finding an egg donor is rather daunting and very costly to advertise! How did you find yours FG? did you wait for a clinic one to become available?

Hi Pinky, it is certainly a daunting process, where are you at? Have you done your profile etc. We are hoping to find a clinic recruited ED however I am a member of various forums which only cater for dontation and surrogacy etc. After speaking to people on there I find that is where they have found their ED's. However, it all depends on how you feel about future involvement etc I have had some nibbles already on one of the forums however if you want to PM me I can elaborate a bit more on my experiences thus far. We have decided not to advertise just yet and see what happens with the clinic first, as it so expensive. Anyway good luck with it all and look forward to speaking to yiu and lets hope 2014 is our year :-)

Hi ladies I have been in the system for about 8 months waiting for an egg donor and have had some success and gutting disappointments. We had a donor all ready to go and then they didn't respond to treatment and then another rejected our profile, so just back hopefully waiting for a clinic donor.... But am thinking of advertising as we'll and any other help/ideas would be gratefully appreciated!

Did you only wait 8 months for an egg donor to become available Alison123217?
Im just wondering what the wait time generally is before one becomes available thats all. I havent advertised as yet myself, im looking at this at the moment. Have you tried nz surrogacy website? Most of the ladies on here though from my understanding want ongoing contact so it does depend what type/if any contact you may want. Wishing you all the best in your search!

Hi I think I was told in March about the menopause and then I was matched in late July. But as I was eligible for funding had to wait until Jan this year for our funded cycle... I guess we could have paid and gone earlier... Unfortunately the donor didn't respond :( The Auckland clinic had another donor but she didn't select us so back on wait list... They said they hoped to have some more clinic donors in 3-4 months. I think I might be more pro active this time about advertising and sending our story out to friends and hopefully friends of friends. I am going to try that website too. :)
I honestly think it's luck of the draw-make sure you have a good profile. I thought ours was good but its the donors decision and how they feel.
Good luck try to stay positive!

Sorry to hear the donor didn't respond that must be tough with everything else! The surrogacy site is really good just for talking to people in similar situations amd realizing your not alone. If you have any questions etc feel free to send me a pm

Hi Alison,
NZ Surrogacy website is a good site to speak to others however as Pinky says the ED's expectations vary and I find that most want ongoing contact, which for us is not what we would really want. I am sure your profile was really good but again it depends on the ED's expectations. Did the coordinator proof read it first and did she tell you it was good? Either way I hope you find another ED soon and this time it all works out for you :-)

Wow what an amazing gift!
I would suggest visiting the fertility associates website. There will be information on there regarding egg donation.

Hi Julie, wonderful thing you are offering and always give the likes of myself hope. We are still waiting for that someone special and hopefully they will come soon. Good luck with it all. Have you looked at any adverts or are you going to be a clinic recruited donor?

Hey Julie
Out of interest have you made progress in becoming an egg donor? I know how hard it is to find someone willing and suitable.
