Selecting An Egg Donor in Kansas City
When selecting an egg donor, there are several important points to consider. Before you start the donor selection process, it is important for you and your partner to consider what your preferences are, and what qualities mean the most to you.
This process is easier when you and your partner have answered the following questions:
- Do you wish to use an anonymous donor or a known donor?
- What physical characteristics are most important to you?
- What medical history information is most compatible with your own family’s history?
- What personality characteristics are most important to you?
- Does the donor’s location matter to you? Local donors can save thousands of dollars eliminating high travel costs and higher donor and agency fees.

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.
