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:

Choosing An Egg Donor In Kansas City
Using an egg donor to attempt conception is an amazing family building option for women who are not able to provide their own viable eggs. However, choosing an egg donor can be overwhelming and scary. Some people have equated looking at donor profiles to being on match.com. In some ways, it is like match.com. But the process can be easier and less stressful if you are prepared, and know what is important to you before looking at potential egg donor profiles.
Some important points to consider:
-Is the donor’s religious background important to you?
-What physical and personality traits are you looking for?
-Are academic achievements important to you?
-What type of medical history are you willing to accept?
It is important to consider these points for yourself, and also talk with your partner about them. Ranking which points are most important, and which points are desirable but not necessary can also be helpful. No potential egg donor will be perfect, as none of us are, but it is important to find the donor that is perfect for you.
