Egg Donor Needed

[Sonj]

- PLEASE WILL YOU HELP US?

We are a very happy couple who were blessed enough to give birth to a son two and a half years ago. We both come from close families and want our son to know the love of a sibling. We long for another baby to complete our family and can provide a loving and secure environment. Unfortunately we have just found out that we will be unable to have another child by natural means. Our only real option now is to conceive through egg donation. Could you help us?
Please if you have questions or want to make contact my email is sonj_1@hotmail.com

Good Luck Sonj, wishing you all the best in your search for an egg donor to help you complete your family.

Hi Melanie, Thanks for your response. I'm new to this type of forum too. I'm hoping we might be successful here but if not it will be good to share with others who are in the same boat.

Hi Sonja,

Wishing you luck in your donor search. My hubby and I were lucky enough to find our beautiful donor-angel here and I hope you will be too. Hang in there.

Thanks Cindy, Well things are just ticking over really. We've just advertised in our local paper Thurday evening and again tonite. Its a bit scarey. I keep thinking what if no-one replies to the ad. Our clinic has told us that this does happen and in Wellington (Close to where we live and where our clinic is) there are a lot on the waiting list. 50 was a figure she mentioned.
We have also been offered by a friend her eggs but unfortunately that is not going to eventuate at this time. She's got 6 week old baby + toddler and is undecided if the've finished their family. Also not prepared at this time to take any risks.

Hi Baby Dreams, Great to hear that you were able to find a donor. Did you wair long and how are things going for you?

Hello Taryn :wave:

Congratulations on your baby girl ! :yelclap:

It is absolutely wonderful that you enjoy motherhood so much that you are thinking of donating your eggs and give the gift of life to another couple. Being part of this forum is a great place to start so you can find out more information and read about the experiences that others have had regarding becoming an egg donor.

I am not sure if you are at the beginning of finding any information about egg donation, but if you are, may I make a suggestion…….hope you don’t mind……contact a local IVF clinic who run an egg donor program and ask them to send you an information kit so you can read about what is involved with this process as it can be a pretty huge process to go through. This will also arm you with loads more information so you are fully aware of what is involved and what you have to go through. There is an IVF clinic at John Flynn called “John Flynn IVF” at Tugun.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you with any advice, as I am sitting on the other side of the fence, but I am sure that there are lots of other ladies on this forum who have donated eggs before or wanting to donate like you, and would be more than happy to share some of their experiences with you.

Good luck with your journey. :thumbsup:

Best wishes.

Hey lovely Sonj

Just hang in there honey, you are doing everything you can, have seen your ads around and just the way you come back and talk to people...is really the best thing you can do. Donors need to feel some connection, is what motivates them to want to contact you, and the only way they can do that is if they know a bit about you..exactly as you are doing.

Hope in the meantime you get some feedback from your ads. Chin up sweet.

Love

Cindy

Hi Cindy,
Thanks so much for your lovely message. I'm getting quite emotional about all the lovely comments and advice people are giving me. I hadn't really expected it. Looking for an egg donor isn't a subject openly discussed but I'm finding by advertising and chatting to others about it it is helping me feel more comfortable and able to deal with not being able to have another baby naturally.
I have 2 friends that are in the same situation. One is now 30weeks preg and the other has just found a donor. Both thru FA in Hamilton so its all helping to keep me positive.
My clinic rung this morning to say there had been three replies to my ad. X2 aged 40 and 1 other not suitable. A bit disappointing but early days.



Hi Tarryn, Just wanted to welcome you to the forum. I know how you are feeling having a new baby and I have to tell you it only gets better. The love only gets stronger.
I'm glad Melanie posted where you can get some information from, if you haven't already. I'm in NZ so wouldn't know where for you to start.
Fantastic that you're thinking of becoming an egg donor. Good luck with what you decide to do.
