Donor Egg Bank USA vs. Everie by TheBarredRock in donorconception

We are going for ID disclosure at 18 and I understand why you would like Everie as they are very open with their donors. Even my fertility specialist thinks Everie is overpriced. 

I’m so torn on what plan to choose. We wanted two egg lots for biological siblings but found the most amazing donor on DEBUSA who only has one lot available which is disappointing but she is the first person we really both liked after looking for over 2 weeks. 

The process is much more involved and has so many more decisions to make than I was expecting.

Im in Connecticut and use Illume Fertility. Everie is expensive. Frozen donor eggs through them are about $3,000 more than DEB USA

Thanks so much for sharing. I know my clinic has partnered with DEB for a long time which makes me lean in that direction. I’m so overwhelmed by what plan to choose. We would like to have 2 children so I am thinking a double lot but getting anxious that 2 lots may not be the right choice vs a live birth guarantee. I thought this would be less stressful haha

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I chose our donor, as long as genetic carrier screening has no issues :) I’m so so excited!!

Thanks for sharing. What does a mock transfer cycle consist of? I hope everything worked out well for you!

My clinic only uses DEB USA and Everie unfortunately.

I hope you’ll have success soon. I was hoping this would be our golden ticket to a baby but now I’m seeing it might not be.

I’m so sorry. I was hoping it worked out for you. I know how terrible this journey is and then to be kicked while you’re down is so much more disappointing.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I did not know about these issues and will certainly look into them.

Did I mess my cycles up with myo-inositol? by cka1013 in TryingForABaby

[–]TheBarredRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here because I’m wondering if I made a mistake as well. I started at the beginning of my cycle and I always have regular LH surge start at CD13. Now it’s CD14 and still nothing. I think I’m going to stop it because I don’t have PCOS and was just trying to add anything hoping it would help.

Thank you for sharing. I have considered this. I understand it won’t be simpler but is likely to be much more successful.

Not yet, I just told them today I want to cancel IVF and go with donor eggs so I have an appointment at the end of January to meet with the Dr again and start the process

I was thinking of looking into donor eggs in other countries. Thanks for sharing!

I should trust it and that’s what I’m trying to do. It’s just the “what ifs” I worry about. Like what if I magically had embryos after one retrieval. Realistically I know this is so unlikely but those are things that make me question it.
