5 Must Ask Questions To Ponder When Considering Donor Eggs

The decision to use donor eggs is made with much consideration and thought, so it's only natural that you will always have many questions that require clarification. 

5 Must Ask Questions To Ponder When Considering Donor Eggs

To ensure that you and your partner make the best decision possible, it helps to speak to a surrogacy agency that can help clear your doubts.

Some Questions You Might Be Pondering are:

1) Where Do You Get The Donor Eggs?

The location of your fertility clinic doesn't determine where the egg donor is from. Some clinics import their donor eggs from other countries. If you are concerned about your child's biological origins, it is necessary to work with a reputable fertility clinic.

2) How Much will The Treatment Cost?

Having treatment transparency is crucial when seeking treatment using donor eggs. This is an expensive procedure. The fertility center must be clear about what you will be paying for and how much you will be paying. Ideally, you should receive a thorough treatment plan with a detailed cost breakdown. Some clinics offer a choice between fresh versus frozen eggs, with the cost of the latter being slightly less. Also, considering the financial risk is so great, some agencies also offer a complete or partial money-back guarantee when using donor eggs.

3) What Information am I Entitled To About My Egg Donor?

All clinics must be able to provide basic details about the egg donor. Choosing egg donation is a life-altering decision so having as much information as possible about your donor helps you make an informed decision. Most clinics feature donor profiles that state the donor's personality and physical traits and personal pen about who she is. Keep in mind that the clinic also gets to know your egg donor fairly well, so your case manager will help you make the best choice.

4) How Quickly May I Start with Treatment Using Donor Eggs?

Most fertility clinics have both fresh and frozen eggs readily available. For fresh eggs, you may commence the treatment cycle once you're matched with the egg donor. With frozen donor eggs, your treatment may start immediately.

5) How Do I Choose The Best Clinic for Treatment Using Donor Eggs?

Considering this topic's sensitive nature, it is highly helpful to speak to your obstetrician or family doctor for a referral to a good fertility clinic. Next, speak directly to friends and family members who've used a fertility center in the past. Have an open discussion about the cost, their experience, etc. Lastly, check online for reviews. Do not simply search for negative reviews because you won't necessarily find them. Search for user experiences. Combine this knowledge with a referral from friends/family and your doctor to make a decision.

How Does The Traditional Surrogacy Process Work?

Traditional Surrogacy Definition Traditional surrogacy is also referred to as genetic or partial surrogacy, mainly because the surrogate shares a biological link to the child she is carrying.
