Donor Eggs, IVF Abroad
You have to be comfortable not only with the fact that you’ll be using a donor, in other words, you’re not going to be using your own genetics, but once you’ve made that decision, once you’ve crossed that hurdle, the next is to find a donor that meets your requirement whatever your requirements are.You will get some information on the physical characteristics, background education as well as ethnic background of the donor. You will also have the option to choose whether you want to have any connection, any contact with the donor, or not. In the U.S., there is no restriction on having a connection with a donor, so for some couples, it’s important to establish that connection, some prefer to have a relationship, meet in person or online speak, while others don’t want to meet the donor, but that option would be available for the child when the child reaches an age where they can decide if they want to know who the egg donor was and the meeting can be arranged. The whole process of selecting an egg donor usually takes one to two months, the clinic’s staff helps with your list of requirements, and they also help with deciding the best donor for you. If you live in Europe, the sperm can be shipped to the USA, or if you’re using a sperm donor, you can look for one in American sperm banks. When it comes to the embryo transfer and if you’re going to be carrying the pregnancy, it takes about a month to be ready, you can prepare for the transfer in your home country, and then you’ll be able to come to the USA and spend there less than a week, typically 4–5 days. You need to come a day or two before the transfer to get yourself acclimated, the day before an ultrasound will be performed to make sure all is okay. Then you have the procedure, and you rest for the day, and then the next day or the day after you can go home.
