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.

Fresh Cycle Donor Eggs in Kansas City vs Frozen Donor Eggs: Which Option is Best?
Trying to decide whether doing a fresh in vitro fertilization cycle using an egg donor that you picked, being able to use all eggs retrieved from the cycle for your family building, or doing a frozen egg cycle by purchasing a lot of eggs from an egg bank, is not an easy decision to make. There are pros and cons to both options.
An important first step in the decision making process is to understand the differences between the options. Know the difference between a fresh cycle, a frozen egg cycle, and a thaw cycle. They are different, and important for you to understand. It is also very important to look at the decision in the context of your overall family building plan. Using frozen donor eggs CAN be a cheaper option, but only under certain conditions. It is important to understand what those are.

Why do people in Kansas City use egg donors to have a baby?
The medical terminology given to women/couples that are candidates for utilizing an egg donor to conceive are women with premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve. Many people have never heard those terms, and will never fully understand the emotional and psychological burden of those that carry the diagnoses.
Emotionally, women and couples that utilize an egg donor to conceive do so because they want to realize their dream of experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. In some ways, the wonderful feeling of hope which egg donation gives to others, is similar to what people experience that receive the gift of organ donation to extend their life.
For those that dream of having a baby or babies, using an egg donor is not part of that dream, at least initially. But for those whose dreams are shattered by the diagnoses of infertility, and the inability to realize what we all assume is our reproductive right, it is an amazing opportunity.
