Looking for a 'anonymous' egg donor

[user1488156527]

Hello,

My partner and i are looking for a anonymous egg donor to help us start our IVF. We are on a waiting list at Liverpool's Women's Hospital at the Hewitt Center, We have been advised that the best way to speed things up would be for us to go out and find our own donor as the waiting list is 4/5 years for us. We are both 27 years old, I had my ovaries removed when i was 15 years old and this is the only way we can start our little family.

We were wondering if there is anyone out there thinking of becoming an egg donor? If the answer is yes, then we would love to hear from you. If you are aged between 21 and 35 (and preferably already had children) and would like to receive more information regarding egg donation, Please phone the Ovum Donation Coordinator at Liverpool women's hospital on 0151 702 4212 and quoting the reference number "649R"

We are looking for a kind donor to help us out.

The egg donation coordinator has given us a unique code number so that anyone contacting them on our behalf is recognised in this way.
If you think you can help please call Liverpool Hewitt Fertility Centre on 0151 702 4212 and please quote the Reference Number "649R".

Thank you so much for reading this!

Oh wow that's amazing thank you so much for contacting me back. Yes please contact the clinic and see what they say and let me know if you need me to do anything at all xxx

AirBiscuitEater blood group makes no difference for egg donation.

I wish I'd known or thought more about this when I was younger. I'm too old now but would've done it, especially having seen friends and family struggle with infertility

Good luck to you OP, I hope you find a good egg to help you

AirBiscuitEater Im really sorry i didnt see the blood type message, i didn't realize it went onto a second page haha!

I am actually blood type "O" Myself. When i had my results through it didnt say O- or O+

Mine just said O on the results.

But for Egg Donation they don't ask about that.

Unless you are donating esp for someone ie known

Then no blood group doesn't matter

But the lady getting the eggs must have the same group as the donor

So must match if you are going to be a donor for someone you choose iyswim

Sorry i didnt know that,so if AirBiscuitEater was to donate eggs to me then our blood groups have to match? My doctor never explained that to me.

Thank you so much for that update i had no idea.

Yes they have to match

Donor and lady receiving

That's certainly not the case at my clinic. I'm matched and due to start synching my cycle with my donor's anytime now, and her blood type is completely different from mine.

How strange. The three mums I've worked for who all had de all had same blood group as donor

Tho seems many clinics do things differently whether fet - 3/5 day transfer etc

Blondeshavemorefun sorry to contradict you, but blood group is completely irrelevant for egg donation.

Parents may ask for a donor with the same blood group if they want their baby to have a blood group that would have been "possible" if they themselves had been the parents. Some parents choose not to tell their children they come from an egg donation process, so if they child had a blood group which couldn't have come from their recipient parents, he could find out.

For example, if both parents were O, and the egg donor was AB, the child could only be A or B, groups that could never have happened out of two O parents. So the child may find out on his own if he/she had not been told.

Guess I'm going by what the 3 told me who used de. But sorry if have wrong info

Would make more sense to have same blood group as sometimes the groups fight each other antibodies with the mum and dad and injection needed for 2nd child

Wouldn't it be kinda the same if 3 blood groups fligjtinf each other?

Just contemplating

If a baby is rhesus positive and the mother is negative, treatment is given to prevent any issues with future pregnancies - but that's a common thing that happens in many pregnancies (since vanishingly few people choose their spouse/partner on the basis of whether they're rhesus positive/negative!) and has nothing to do with ABO type.

Blondeshavemorefun, there are no blood cells involved in an egg donor process. Please do not try to offer information which is highly technical and requires a basic knowledge of biology and chemistry if you have none of this knowledge or background. It confuses the OP and makes some posters believe your information is genuine.

So how does this work now? My son is from an anonymous donor before the law changed in the UK in 2005. I thought after that date all IVF children in the UK had to be from donors that could be traced. It was considered to be in the best interests of the children as they grew into adulthood that they could, if they chose, trace their bio parent. Based on evidence from adopted and donor children. I was offered the chance of egg donors in Cyprus. Young women from the Ukraine or Russia who would sell their eggs. Personally I found that a Rubicon too hard to cross. I couldnt stomach being able to buy what I, as a rich western women, wanted from poor women who had little choice. Interesting to see how things have changed in a decade. How is the HFEA regulating any of this or do none of you care? As long as you get your child the morals and ethics dont matter. How do you ensure your birth child knows their origin?

childmaintenanceserviceinquiry, I believe the OP here is seeking an egg donor who would be anonymous to her at this time, not one who wouldn't be identified to her potential child once they turn 18 (which, as you note, would not be possible in the UK under the law as it now stands). Anonymity at the point when donation is taking place is the norm (except in cases such as partner-to-partner egg-sharing, or a woman donating eggs to her sister, or the like) and acts as a protection for everyone involved. So, for example, I have basic non-identifying details of the egg-share donor I've been matched with, but she remains essentially anonymous to me at this point (and I to her) and will remain so - should I have a child, they'd be the one who could seek details later in life, since they'd be the one with the genetic connection.

I'm more than happy to discuss the topic of gamete donation further, but I'd ask that you think about how your phrase your comments - questioning people's 'morals and ethics' online rarely ends well, and as the parent of a donor-conceived child yourself, I'm sure you've faced judgement from others over your own decisions. I'm equally sure you made those decisions after careful consideration and with the welfare of your family in mind - so please don't think everyone here isn't doing the same.

Hey everyone,

Sorry my laptop broke and I've had to reset everything.

Thank you all for the information. Does anyone have any other sites I can look for a donor. I'm still desperately seeking a donor.

Many Thanks
