Family Building With Egg Donation in Kansas City: Fresh vs. Frozen
When deciding to use an egg donor to build and grow your family, now you have the choice of doing an in vitro fertilization cycle with an egg donor you have selected as your donor who cycles with you, or purchasing frozen eggs from an egg bank.
The option of using frozen donor eggs only became available as an option in October of 2012 so it is a relatively new area in the field of reproductive medicine. Any research you read as the benefits/risk of using frozen eggs is based on limited data done in a short period of time. The potential long-term risks and negative consequences are unknown at this point. Egg banks are certainly not going to give you any information to dissuade you from buying eggs from their egg bank. So as with anything else in the medical field, it is important be gather information from reliable sources that are not trying to sell you anything. Educate yourself as to the pros and cons of each, because there are pros and cons to each option, and make the choice that best fits your needs.
One source to gather information about building your family through egg donation, and compare doing a fresh vs. frozen cycle is RESOLVE. The following link will take you to an article that does a great job of explaining the differences of each, and the pros and cons of each. You can find the article here at:

Kansas City Egg Donors and Egg Donors All Over The World Help Build and Grow Families
According to a study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, more women than ever are now making the incredible decision to donate their eggs to help others build and grow their families. In this study, researchers found that donor numbers increased notably from 2000 -2010, with 10,801 donor eggs used during in vitro fertilization procedures in 2000, increasing to 18,306 by 2010. Egg donation comes with many benefits, both for donors and recipients.

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.
