Donor eggs - donor information

Hobbes39 · 2018-06-10 18:03:35

Hi I am 41 and have been ttc a sibling for our DS for 3.5 years. We have unexplained secondary infertility and been through 3 fresh and 3 frozen cycles of IVF with my own eggs. We have got pregnant - once before we started ivf, ended in an ectopic - first round had a chemical, 3rd round had a MMC and it seems that I have had another MMC with our last frozen embryo. I find out for sure next week. So, as time is very much not on my side, I am thinking ahead to what we do now. I don't feel ready to give up but have slowly been trying to get my head around donor eggs since round 2 tbh - it's been at the back of my mind as I know we are unexplained but my age can't be helping... My DH would prefer to use an anonymous donor, I'm on the fence - for me anonymous might be better, but I'm not so sure about what's best for the child if we were to finally get lucky and be successful... So... I was hoping that people here might be able to tell me what clinics / countries give you the most information about the donor, even if it's anonymous? This might sound daft, but does anywhere tell you info like if they like sports/ are musical / like travel/ artistic... or whether they have freckles, what level of education etc? None of the above are particularly important to me in deciding a donor, but I can't help but feel that if I were donor conceived that's the sort of thing I'd like to know (I may be way off though, as obvs I don't know) especially if they were not something I shared with my parents... Sorry if this doesn't make sense... hope you know what I mean! Is there somewhere that gives a summary of the info each clinic gives to you from the donor? Thanks
