Egg Donor Needed
My journey to become a Mum has been a long and hard road. 3 IVF cycles produced a gorgeous baby boy who was stillborn at term and a beautiful little girl who arrived too early to survive. The nursery is silent and the toys remain unused. 3 more IVF cycles have been unsuccessful, so I now need an egg donor. I am single and have much love to give. My family is large and supportive and I have some wonderful friends who stand beside me. If you are a healthy, non smoking woman, 20 – 37, who has preferably completed your own family and would like to help me become a “Mum” I would be forever grateful. Please contact in confidence Angela on 09 475 0310 or email fas@fertilityassociates.co.nz , quoting reference: Forever Grateful |

Hi,
You could also try registering with www.nz-surrogacy.com, as there are egg donors on that site also. Best of luck

Hi
I've recently put some flyers around so who knows you might see my advert out there. It was a positive experience even when they couldn't display it. Most people seem to be understanding and that was encouraging. Forever Grateful |

Yea, I'd love to help someone in your situation one day when we've finished our family. Although, don't know if someone with PCOS (which I have) would be accepted as an egg donor? I should look into that. -------------

Just wondering. Does anyone know if having depression in the past would effect the possibility of becoming an egg donor, if I am otherwise healthy and I tick all the other boxes? -------------

I have had depression 3 yrs ago - termed reactive depression. 3-4/10 NZ people do at some stage and this no. is growing. My doctor explained to me that depression for many was fixable with life changes and needing medication was like a diabetic needing insulin and better life choices. I don''t think this should factor in if the recipient was happy. I changed things in my life and went off medication after 14 months and have never looked back. SO go for it escadachic ------------- TTC June 2006 MFI ME 35 DH 48 IVF #1 Jan 2011 BFN FET x1 April 2011 BFN IVF #2 July 2011 IVF #3 Feb EC 2012 |

Hi
escadachic - thank-you so much for showing an interest. I'm sure Angela at my clinic would be happy to answer any questions you had. MAC35 - I appreciate your sharing this information with us. I have heard of this good book called "The Depression Cure" by Stephen Ilardi. Its focus seems to be on life issues - sleep, Omega 3, positive thoughts , sunshine. Can't remember the other ones at this stage. My journey, as I know others of you will understand is definitely stressful. I am trying to find ways of reducing the stress - have taken up Tai Chi and find this to be helpful, would definitely recommend it. Once again thank-you for taking an interest. J |

Hi,
I was wondering if you had considered going overseas to find a donor. Prices in the Czech Republic seem quite competitive - and I seem to remember on one of the websites I looked at (not sure which one), that the waiting period could be as little as 3 months... http://www.czechivf.com/donor-egg-and-embryo http://www.crmzlin.cz/en/page/1726.oocyte-egg-sperm-donation/ Just a thought... we are also at the point of considering DE after 2 IVF cycles with my own eggs. |

Hi SweetP
Thanks for the information on Czech Republic. At this stage my prefered option is to find a donor in NZ. 3 months is a short waiting period. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Egg Donor Needed - Update
Hi I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has shown an interest in my advert. I'm pleased to tell you that I have now found / been found by an amazing woman who is going to be my egg donor. Whatever the outcome is I know that I will be forever grateful for the opportunity she is giving me. I hope by reading my advert that there may be others who have started to think about egg donation. There are a number of us women here in New Zealand who need help to become Mums. Wishing others like me all the best for finding a donor. Take care Forever Grateful |

| Hi everyone I have just joined this site. My husband and I have been TTC #1 for well it will be 7 years in Dec. I have tried IVF twice and it did not work. I fell pregnant naturally 4 years ago but miscarried at 12 weeks. I have tried acupuncture, tried Brad Crouch on the Northshore of Auckland, been to a herbalist tried everything and now we are looking for an egg donor as well. Not sure where to start on that really....but will be my mission for next few months. |

Hi
It is with much joy and relief that I can give an update to this thread. My little girl was born early at 35 wks 4 days. She is small, has a good set of lungs on her and is doing well. I've had wonderful support thru out the pregnancy and after the birth. The journey has been a long rocky one but to hear her cry when she was born was the most wonderful sound of all. I will be forever grateful to my lovely donor who gave me a very precious gift. I hope that others may also find NZ donors. All the best to those walking a similar journey, stay strong and hold on to hope. Forever Grateful |

I know this post is a bit old but after having a little one of my own and seeing the joy raising a happy healthy baby girl has brought to my life I have decided I would like to help others on their journey. If anyone has any information on becoming a donor please fill me in. I am very interested. I am 23, non smoker with one healthy child. Thanks. And good luck to you all. |

| Hi Jessica. That is such a wonderful thing to consider doing. What sort of information are you looking for at this stage? I am just entering my first IVF round, so I don't know too much about the donation process. You could give your local fertility clinic a call, and I'm sure that they would have someone available to have a bit of a talk with you about the process, or you could have a look on the fertility associates website. Also, there is a thread on the everybody communities website about egg donation. Some of the ladies on there might be able to answer your questions. |
