Kansas City Egg Donors Want To Know Cycle Outcomes
A question we hear often from our egg donors is “Can I know if my recipient family got pregnant?” According to research, most egg donors want to know if their gift of egg donation resulted in a pregnancy, which of course is the outcome everyone hopes for.
We do inform our anonymous egg donors of the cycle outcome, if they wish to know. Our belief is not only is it their right to know, but they need to know so that they can decide how they want to share that information with their own children and families. Historically, some clinics with their own in-house egg donor programs have not been willing to share the outcome with their egg donors. As we learn and understand more how third-party reproduction impacts all involved parties in the future, the current belief is evolving into having more information not less helps everyone make better decisions.

Kansas City Egg Donors’ Attitudes About Egg Donation
Young women who give the gift of life and parenthood to intended parents experience many thoughts and feelings about egg donation. All egg donor candidates go through a psychological evaluation with a mental health professional.
Here are some quotes from potential donors when being interviewed and asked how they feel about donating their eggs:
- “It’s like donating an organ. It’s not a baby.”
- “I don’t have any attachment to my eggs.”
- “It’s just tissue to me.”
- “I wouldn’t have any interest in meeting the person who got my kidney—why should I want to know about my eggs?”
- “I don’t want kids—at least not now – why shouldn’t someone else use my eggs?”
“My eggs just go to waste every month. I feel better using them for something good.”
Here are quotes from potential donors that have been asked why they are donating their eggs:
- “I have an aunt (friend, cousin, sister) who was infertile and I saw how hard it was.”
- “If I need it someday, I would want someone to help me.”
- “Motherhood is a God-given right.”
- “This is a beautiful way to help someone.”
“People who go through all of this to have a baby must really want one. They’ll probably be really good parents.”

Using An Experienced Egg Donor In Kansas City: Is It A Better Choice?
When selecting your egg donor, you will be considering many important points to help you make your decision. Many times intended parents will narrow down their choices to 2 or 3 potential donors and compare as to which might be the best choice. Sometimes intended parents are confused as to how much weight to give previous experience being an egg donor to their pros and cons list when making their decision.
What it often comes down to is deciding whether it is better to use a donor that has donated previously, or not? As with many questions related to selecting an egg donor, the answer is, well it depends! There is certainly security knowing that your potential selected donor has been through the process, understands what is required of her, and is apparently willing to go through the process again. And of course there is the knowledge that if she had not been a successful donor, translation-produced a good number of viable eggs/embryos for intended parents, she would likely not be accepted by the agency to be a donor again.
But is it never a good idea to take one factor, such as previous experience, and make that your sole criteria for deciding. It is important to feel connected to the donor you are choosing, and that the donor is the right choice for you.

Pathways To Parenthood Egg Donors In Kansas City Help Give Hope To Families In Need
When Pathways To Parenthood opened for business in May of 2013, our hopes were to be able to connect quality egg donor candidates and families that were in need of an egg donor to build and grow their family. After years of working as a licensed counselor with women and couples that struggled with the emotional pain of infertility, I understand the hope using an egg donor to attempt conception gives those who need the help of others to build and grow their family. I personally witnessed the joy people experienced when finally realizing their dreams of becoming parents, due in large part to the generous gift of an anonymous young woman who was willing to be their egg donor.
We are happy and excited to say that the first family that conceived using a Pathways To Parenthood egg donor is about to have a baby! The joy that we feel knowing we were able to help a family realize their dream of becoming parents pales in comparison to the joy I know they will be feeling on the birth day of their long awaited child. My hope is that we can help many more families realize their dreams in 2014 and beyond.
