Pause and Breathe
  • Take a deep breath - its perfectly normal to
    feel angry, sad, scared, unsure, and overwhelmed.
    This is one of the biggest decisions you'll make.
    Because this news can be mind-boggling, give
    yourself time to wrap your head around the
    concept of egg donation, what it means, and the
    steps it will take for you to complete an egg
    donor cycle from start to finish.

Choose a Clinic
  • One of the most important decisions you'll face
    when expanding your family through egg donation
    is where to go for treatment. Select a clinic
    where you feel honored, respected, and cared
    for-and with that comes a physician or team of
    physicians who have your best interests in mind.
    The rapport and relationship you develop with
    your physician is critical. Look for a doctor who
    is going to be kind, caring, compassionate, and
    above all, willing to partner with you during
    your treatment. Seed ART Bank has put together a
    comprehensive list of questions to ask in regards
    to your treatment and care.

Find an Egg Donor Agency
  • Some clinics unfortunately dont have a large egg
    donor pool (or an egg donor pool at all) from
    which the intended parent can select the right
    egg donor for to help create their family so many
    intended parents rely upon egg donor agencies to
    help them find and select an egg donor. Bear in
    mind not all agencies are created alike.
  • Keep in mind that above all, egg donor agencies
    are service providers, meaning you're in the
    drivers seat. They may have the egg donor you
    need to grow your family, but in the end, you're
    the one writing the check, and they need you to
    stay in business. Read the service contract
    carefully. Pay attention to the agency's refund
    policy many agencies dont offer one. Get
    everything in writing and that means everything.

Select an Egg Donor
  • This can often be the most overwhelming part of
    the whole egg donation experience. The bottom
    line Do your homework, research, ask questions,
    and if something doesnt sit well, listen to your
    gut. Dont be led to believe that if you pay a
    top price for an egg donor, you'll get a premium
    donor. Thats not the way it works. Dont believe
    that paying a higher fee to an agency or a donor
    is going to create or produce a top quality (or
    even a better quality) eggor, for that matter,
    increase your chances at becoming a parent.
    Again, thats not the way it works. At the end of
    the day, the child you have via this process is
    the child you're meant to have, and will be the
    most amazing, beautiful, perfect child you've
    ever seen.

Hire an attorney and draw up a legal contract.
  • Even if you decide to use the clinic's egg donor
    pool and all they require is the informed consent
    agreement, get a legal contract between yourself
    and your egg donor. Why? To protect you and your
    egg donor. One of the industrys leading
    reproductive lawyers Amy Demma says The most
    compelling reason for you to hire an attorney is
    to protect, from a legal standpoint, the family
    you are trying so very hard to build ... why risk
    it?

  • Most egg donor agreements are approximately 25
    pages long and will clearly state that the donor
    is agreeing (among other things) that despite her
    genetic connection to your child, she has no
    legal status in your family. Lots of other issues
    are addressed in a donor contract (which are not
    addresses in clinic consents) including
  • How much you will pay the donor?
  • When you will pay her?
  • If you will pay her (what happens if she flakes
    or otherwise is not cooperative or compliant?)
  • When/if and how you will contact the donor should
    you need or want to, in the future.

Think ahead about what you'll do with leftover
Embryos.
  • You may think this is jumping the gun or putting
    the cart before the horse but you arent.
    Thinking about what to do with leftover embryos
    is something you should be thinking about now.
    Once your family is complete, you may have left
    over embryos on ice. Again its all about
    options would you donate your embryos to another
    couple who are faced with infertility like
    yourself? Would you donate them to science? Would
    you donate them to a clinic or an agency that has
    an embryo donation program? Would you have them
    destroyed?

9
Seek Education and Support.
  • Education and support are the two most important
    things you'll need as you embark upon this
    amazing journey through egg donation. You might
    feel overwhelmed, scared, isolated, and even
    alone - like you're the only one doing this.
    Think again! You and about 14,000 intended
    parents a year. A great resource is Parents Via
    Egg Donation, which helps annually about 9,000
    intended parents and parents via egg donation
    through their website, their private forum, as
    well as via email, telephone and in person.

  • Regardless of how much we love our children, and
    regardless of how much joy they bring sometimes
    we as parents can become lost in the shuffle and
    forget who we are. So take time for you date
    each other, have sex just to have sex because it
    feels good. Do something nice for
    yourselfwhether thats a massage, a walk, or
    carve out some alone time. Eat well, make time
    for exercise, and strive to get adequate rest.
    Last but not least we are all in this together.
    It takes a village!
