Hello there. After 4 failed IVFs, 5 miscarriages and an ectopic, we have spent lots of time working through the grief and debating the ethics of it all, and have decided we would like to try using donor eggs. Above anything else, as a base starting point, we would definitely like the potential child to be able to contact the donor at 18 if they would like to. We had a chat with Aria in London and they work with New Life Uk, whom we have had some details through from. The whole thing felt very positive but it is extremely expensive, and likely to add up to more as we’ve learned over the years. We are financially really pushed after all the IVF rounds so I thought it a good idea to see if there were any other options out there. We are London based but happy to travel. I have started looking into London Egg Bank which I gather works with London Women’s clinic. I’m a little confused currently about how the costs add up or how it works, how many eggs to go for etc, but am going to ring for a chat in a bit. But, other than these two places, Aria (with New Life UK) and LEB, I am struggling to see what other options there are. Our friend used Altrui a few years ago but it seems to not exist anymore, and earlier in the year when we began to start considering all this we liked the look of Appricity but that also seems to have shut down. Any suggestions of other options for non-anonymous donor egg clinics would be gratefully received, uk or abroad. Or, any experiences of the above mentioned clinics would also be very helpful too. The money is a factor as I said, but also if the experience is really positive then I think that can count for a lot too, so we’re not ruling anything out at this stage. We just are trying to gather any information we can and learn from other people’s experiences. Thank you very much in advance. x
