Shared cycle

The anonymous donor we previously selected is still available. We have signed up for a shared donor cycle. The primary reason is money. We save about $5,000 by sharing the eggs. As long as there are more than eight mature eggs, we get half. Up to eight we would get them all as we signed up for this donor first and are therefore the primary recipients. usually about 2/3 of the eggs fertilize. This donor has donated 3 times previously and all 3 ended in pregnancies, one was twins. Hopefully, our super donor will continue with her great track record and a lot of people will be very happy!

Now we have to wait for another couple to agree to be the secondary recipients. It seems cruel to have to wait, but what can you do.

Part of me wants to be horribly greedy, pay the $5k and get on with it. I am not a very patient patient!

If only money grew on trees!
