So, after many long discussions, we finally feel that we are in the right place to begin an egg donor cycle for an infertile couple.

Our boys are still such babies & after the really quite traumatic birth at 28 weeks of our oldest, having Sal on bed rest for 11 weeks with our youngest until he was born at 34 weeks & all of the emotional impact of that, we aren't ready to TTC with her remaining embryo's just yet.
Because our babies are genetically hers & my uterus will be used to carry ( hopefully ) one of the embryos's on ice left over from the last cycle, my eggs won't be needed to complete our family.
Life is a cycle, to receive I believe you need to also give. Our family was made possible by an anonymous sperm donor so if I can pass on my eggs to enable someone to have their family, I would feel like we have given the Universe something back.

So, we answered an ad in Melbourne's Child last week! And got a really great reply, we are going to meet them in a couple of weeks & if they like us, we will start the process officially!

We are sooooo excited to finally be doing this, crossing fingers it all works & they get their beautiful healthy baby at the end of it.

So, this thread is part Woo Hoo & part Any Advice for potential egg donors? Can anyone give us some insight into this journey? We did three cycles of IVF with my DW to get our boys so have a reasonable idea about the practicalities of hormones & needles & egg collection but what else can we expect? What were your experiences?

Thanks!!
