Can I ask for some advice?

Just wondering if anyone could give me any advice... A family member (not close, don't see her often, but spent a lot of time together growing up) has just had an unsuccessful 2nd try at IVF. She has been told her eggs are poor quality and they have been advised not to try for a third round with her eggs.

I've been thinking about being an egg donor anyway, and I would love to offer to be one for her. The problem is, I'm not supposed to know about any of this, I found out from another family member.

I'm worried about the potential fall out if I offer, and I think it's unlikely she would accept anyway... On the other hand I would hate for her not to have the option if she would want to do it.

What should I do?!?!

couples having donor egg IVF have to go through counselling. They'll have been offered that and the options for non- related donors explained. If they don't mind having a non- related donor then they'll choose that option as less hassle. If they would go for donor but only family then presumably they'll approach anyone who is suitable. Are you under 30? If not, they're probably better off going with a younger donor anyway.
