The (not so) Incredible (definitely not) Edible Egg


We found an amazing egg donor.  We met her and her amazing daughter.  We had amazing communications.  She gave her amazing blood to be tested.  The amazing doctors said her ovaries were not that amazing.  Actually we were told "...it will be a big risk taking her as an egg donor...she is not an ideal candidate at all for egg donation.".

The search, sadly, continues.

  3. Oh...sorry to hear it didn't work out. Choosing a donor is tough. Good luck finding someone new. Just FYI, what worked for me was going with my gut. I used one donor who I really liked but unfortunately the embryos never took. I didn't love my second one and her cycle wound up getting canceled. I was kind of relieved. I picked her for certain qualities that were hard to find, but I'm glad it didn't work out even though it hurt to have been knocked down again. My third (and final) egg donor was kind of a gut decision. The doctors liked her, but she wasn't a proven donor. It worked very well. Her cycle was great and I got twins. Sometimes I think this crazy process does need a little bit of gut feeling with the science.
