hi ...would like to ask for thoughts/advice/opinions on choice of clinic/country for egg donation.

We are just going down this road after 4 unexplained miscarriages, many tests and no answers! We've spoken to clinic in Spain and they do seem v. helpful and knowledgable and I'm reading good things about them here and on other forums. Hwoever, I've also read concerns for some/many on the total anonymous nature of donation in Spain vs UK. I had expected v. long waiting lists in clinics in UK but I phoned a few to check and some are quoting only about 6months wait if we use egg share (i.e. someone going through IVF donates some of her 'excess' eggs). So this has thrown us a bit.

Any idea is there are advantages/disadvantages of egg-share? UK vs other countries for ED? thanks in advance.

HI Lucey,

Sounds like you've been alot through the last few years. I can uderstand all your concerns regarding the anonymous nature of egg donor, We too thought hard about wheather to go to the Uk or some were in Europe. In the end  we went to Spain a few years back to do donor egg. We had two cycles and were sucessful and are blessed with twins. I found the clinic we use great on all fronts but I'm going to say that cause we were sucessful :-)

As the other message posted, there is a NISIG Donor meeting on a the end of the month.

29th Jan in Dublin, Ring the NISIG supportline 1890 647 444 or email nisig@eircom.net  The meetings are informal and a great way to t meet people who are on the journey  and to find out first hand about different clinics.
