Good luck on the house hunt. It was definitely time consuming, but we have been very happy with the outcome and I hope you are as well. Good luck with the process of figuring out whether to try with your own eggs or go to donor egg and where to do donor egg if you go that route. It seems like you have already researched many options for donor egg so you may already know this. From the research I have done on donor egg, I think that Nurture in South Africa may be a good option. They provide more information on the donors than anywhere else I have seen. It seems like a good balance of being significantly cheaper than the states while still providing information including a full medical history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687720633955485205.post-75727606593957564112011-10-09T17:19:02.956-07:002011-10-09T17:19:02.956-07:00I completely understand why you feel frustrated ab...I completely understand why you feel frustrated about him not immediately recommending donor eggs, especially as you would be paying a lot for another cycle.<br /><br />I think I've said before that in the UK all sperm and egg donors are registered so that any resultant child can look them up when they are 18 - completely not anonymous. This has had the effect of significantly decreasing sperm donation. In addition, because it is illegal to pay people for donor eggs, it is usually only women who can't afford private IVF who egg share. Some would definitely choose not to share given the choice.<br /><br />While I completely understand your desire to be able to know more and eventually give your child a chance to know more about their genetic heritage, there is another side to anonymity that shouldn't be under estimated.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196968417331947398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687720633955485205.post-23130529871642629562011-10-09T10:03:12.680-07:002011-10-09T10:03:12.680-07:00Good to hear from you! :-)
It makes sense that yo...Good to hear from you! :-)<br /><br />It makes sense that you wouldn't be overjoyed at the doctors suggestion to try again with your own eggs. <br />You've been there, several times. That option costs lots and lots of money, for odds that you feel are low (understandably). <br />Not forgetting that trying something new (after failing at the old) has its allure. <br /><br />Anonymous or find your own donor is the situation here too. Personally, identity release appeals to me more as well. <br /><br />Counting to a hundred?! And I thought being able to count to 17 was pretty good for a nearly 4yo. ;-)<br />And making her own snack, now that's something for Linnea to work on!Lut C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03893061829410958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687720633955485205.post-16107655076657573082011-10-08T22:20:59.624-07:002011-10-08T22:20:59.624-07:00It's amazing how they grow up when you are not...It's amazing how they grow up when you are not looking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687720633955485205.post-25955706006533860922011-10-08T16:59:19.049-07:002011-10-08T16:59:19.049-07:00whoa, i'm completely shocked by your clinic...whoa, i'm completely shocked by your clinic's anonymous-only policy. just completely shocked. it seems like the world of donor sperm is moving more and more away from anonymity; strange that donor egg is lagging behind. i suppose there's an essay in that idea, somewhere. hmmm....<br /><br />go, eggbert! clipping and cooking and counting! nice!Bionic Baby Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308646591208692676noreply@blogger.com
