Egg sharing and IVF ~ I have some questions please help me if you can

[leoleosuperstar]

We have been so unlucky with getting the money together for IVF and with the latest set back I am considering egg sharing.

The clinics price list seems to show this as being less that half the normal IVF and it includes the drugs - is this right?

What is the normal criteria for this?

What happens when they collect your eggs? Can they abandon half way through if you don't have enough folicles?

Do they share the eggs in half or does one couple have priority?

Sorry for any typos or spelling mistakes - no checker on sisters little notebook

when we looked into egg sharing the clinic sent us an information pack, but iirc:

The clinics price list seems to show this as being less that half the normal IVF and it includes the drugs - is this right? yes

What is the normal criteria for this? depends on the clinic, as a rule though you need to be under 35, have no genetic illnesses and will have to undergo further testing, you will also need specialist counselling.

What happens when they collect your eggs? they collect eggs as they would normally.

Can they abandon half way through if you don't have enough folicles? yes

Do they share the eggs in half or does one couple have priority? if you dont produce enough eggs the donor couple get the eggs, you take priority but they try to share where possible

Thank you very much.

Did you egg share if you don't mind me asking?

How do you feel about egg sharing?

we werent eligable because of recurrent mc issues (they have to be very strict) i think egg sharing is a great way of helping to fund IVF, but you need to think about how you would feel if your cycle failed and the other couples was successful, also the impact on your family.
