Hi Babyblue, I am now 19 weeks pregnant thanks to an egg donor. When we first embarked on it we wanted to remain anonymous always being aware the child has the right to seek the egg donor when they are 18. However, we found an egg donor via facebook and one of her wishes was to meet up with us at least once before she went ahead. We honoured this and then things changed. I visited her on Egg Collection day and she came with me when the embryo was transferred. I keep her up to date with scan pictures etc and will update her when baby is born. All we have asked for is that we have some privacy afterwards to build a relationship with the child. Speak to Fertility Associates they will give you all the details. They will match you with parents who want the same things as you. Hope all that helps :-)]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2015 09:46:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5878253&title=egg-donation-donors#5878253 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5878052&title=egg-donation-donors#5878052 Author: BabyBlueOnHisWay

Those who have been through the process with known egg donors, do you keep in contact with them at all? I have thought about donating once my family is complete, but the thought of never knowing about that child is quite daunting. It would always be in the back of my mind if I didn't know how them & their parents were doing. Any insight?]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:46:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5878052&title=egg-donation-donors#5878052 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5876866&title=egg-donation-donors#5876866 Author: EggDonorwant166475

Hi all
This is our add we are posting out to find our Egg Donor.

We have discovered that starting a family will be a little more of a challenge for us than most. I was told I have low egg reserves and we were devastated by the news, but the gift from an egg donor will mean I can carry our child, feel our li'l pumpkin grow and kick and we can be parents... finally. We have built a wonderful life together and have plans and dreams for the future all of which will be enriched by doing it as a family. Our child(ren) will have a wonderful life filled with animals, adventure, hobbies, technology and astronomy. We would hope that we pass on our respect for nature and thirst for knowledge.
We think what a donor is prepared to do is amazing, and words alone cannot begin to encompass the enormity of their gift. Although we prefer to remain non-identifiable, we are willing to have a meeting with the donor if they wish, and would be more than happy to provide the donor with an update on our successful pregnancy and a photo of our new baby, if they would like that. Our child will be brought up knowing their special origins, and we will support them in seeking to contact the egg donor when they are old enough, if they wish to do so. Life can be full of happy surprises and families can grow in many different ways!
If you have read this far you may be our donor! If you are a healthy, non smoking woman aged 20-35, please contact in confidence Tanya or Christina ph 0800 433 784 or emailfadonurse@fertilityassociates.co.nz for more details. Quote ref : OUR LI'L PUMPKIN
Thank you for the amazing gift of parenthood.

Hi All
I have just been to my acupuncture lady tonight and she was telling me about people going to Czech Republic for donor eggs and sperm as it is around the same price (including airfares and staying) than it is here and the donor quality is very good as they are mainly students and the success rate is really really good because of this
Just thought I would let this thread know

How about you? My donor did so well producing a good number of eggs - let's hope I can do my part eeeekk!

Hi Alison

That is great news so pleased for you and crossing all fingers and toes it all goes well. We luckily won't have to wait with the donor we have found as she donated recently and the girls in Auckland told me for that reason a three month stand down is not required which is great. All that is required is they need infection bloods taken again and another counseling session. Will keep you updated :-)]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2014 08:10:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870428&title=egg-donation-donors#5870428 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870416&title=egg-donation-donors#5870416 Author: Alison123717

Hi Parents2Be!

We have had a successful embryo transfer but still early days! Won't believe its successful until baby arrives safely :) I personally found the girls at FA Auckland lovely and had no problems. Obviously the waiting is horrible but even if you get a personal donor there is always that stand down period.

Good luck!]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:22:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870416&title=egg-donation-donors#5870416 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870415&title=egg-donation-donors#5870415 Author: RebeccaJacks147490

This forum is fantastic. Finally to hear from others in the same vote! Initially we were told we could wait up to 2 years by FA but recently they have said the timeframe has been shortened. So hard to work out how to get the word out! Inspiring to hear from those that have been successful. Always helps!

Maybe have a look at revamping your profile? I have been with Fertility
Associates since April last year and have got matched twice (one donor did not respond) & then matched just a few months later. (We were also turned down by one too!)
Also as others have mentioned, you just have to put your selves out there too-I was also quite open with people about our problems and had 2 offers from friends... Unfortunately not suitable.

Good luck!]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2014 19:22:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870365&title=egg-donation-donors#5870365 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870359&title=egg-donation-donors#5870359 Author: Parents2Be

Hi Rebecca, so sorry to hear you have had to wait so long its been 7 months for is already but we hopefully have finally found someone. We started a new page on Facebook just to seek an Egg Donor, I am part of a private group on Facebook and they all shared it for me. I originally had lots of response but that soon dried up. Also, I had a quote with from OhBaby on facebook of $150 for them to post our advert on there, I have noticed others who have done that had a lot of response. There are also a couple of great NZ forums and other facebook pages whhere people advertise and equally there are ED's. I have heard lots of success stories that way. Please don't hesitate to PM me and I will let you know the Facebook pages and forums as that is where I have found our hopefully ED :-)]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2014 17:55:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870359&title=egg-donation-donors#5870359 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5870346&title=egg-donation-donors#5870346 Author: RebeccaJacks147490

Hi all,
My partner and I are also going through the journey of finding an egg donor. We have been on the fertility associates list for a year now. Time is ticking.... We are thinking seriously of going overseas if we cannot find a donor here in N.Z. We were advised to ask people to put our special need onto their Facebook pages/ social media, to then get others to 'like' and spread the word. Seems to have got a few talking so that's one way of getting the word out at low cost. Eager to hear other's advice.

Hi Jules, great news on finding a couple and fully respect your decision on having continued contact. We have a possible ED who is awaiting more bloods etc before she views our profile and vice versa. Really crossing all fingers it works out!! Also, as Julie says would like to know a little more on where you fund the ad etc :-)

Julie - I have created a facebook page for ladies in NZ who are also seeking egg donors or who have been through the process already. It is so people can share their experiences. Just let me know if you would like to join. i just give the other members 24 hrs to say that maybe they know you and we just make sure there are know problems there if that makes sense but it is a fully secret and private group. :-)

That's fantastic. It's such an amazing thing you are doing. After 3 failed IVF cycles using my own eggs I have been advised to seek an egg donor.So my quest begins...

Where did the couple place the ad? What initially attracted you to their profile or ad? It would be interesting to know as we would dearly love to find an amazing women to help us create lil bundle :)

Yes I have made progress I met a couple through ad's and met them and we have similar interests and get on, they welcome contact between any child concieved and my own.
I couldnt do the anonymous no contact donation as I have two children to consider and I cant reconcile that idea with them.

Hi Julie, wonderful thing you are offering and always give the likes of myself hope. We are still waiting for that someone special and hopefully they will come soon. Good luck with it all. Have you looked at any adverts or are you going to be a clinic recruited donor?

Wow what an amazing gift!
I would suggest visiting the fertility associates website. There will be information on there regarding egg donation. ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2014 15:56:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5866080&title=egg-donation-donors#5866080 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5866079&title=egg-donation-donors#5866079 Author: juliegerrard143520

Hi Alison,

NZ Surrogacy website is a good site to speak to others however as Pinky says the ED's expectations vary and I find that most want ongoing contact, which for us is not what we would really want. I am sure your profile was really good but again it depends on the ED's expectations. Did the coordinator proof read it first and did she tell you it was good? Either way I hope you find another ED soon and this time it all works out for you :-)

Sorry to hear the donor didn't respond that must be tough with everything else! The surrogacy site is really good just for talking to people in similar situations amd realizing your not alone. If you have any questions etc feel free to send me a pm ]]> Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:58:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5861477&title=egg-donation-donors#5861477 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5861474&title=egg-donation-donors#5861474 Author: Alison123717

Hi I think I was told in March about the menopause and then I was matched in late July. But as I was eligible for funding had to wait until Jan this year for our funded cycle... I guess we could have paid and gone earlier... Unfortunately the donor didn't respond :( The Auckland clinic had another donor but she didn't select us so back on wait list... They said they hoped to have some more clinic donors in 3-4 months. I think I might be more pro active this time about advertising and sending our story out to friends and hopefully friends of friends. I am going to try that website too. :)

I honestly think it's luck of the draw-make sure you have a good profile. I thought ours was good but its the donors decision and how they feel.

Good luck try to stay positive!]]> Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:35:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5861474&title=egg-donation-donors#5861474 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5861473&title=egg-donation-donors#5861473 Author: Pinkymalinky

Did you only wait 8 months for an egg donor to become available Alison123217?

Im just wondering what the wait time generally is before one becomes available thats all. I havent advertised as yet myself, im looking at this at the moment. Have you tried nz surrogacy website? Most of the ladies on here though from my understanding want ongoing contact so it does depend what type/if any contact you may want. Wishing you all the best in your search!

Hi ladies I have been in the system for about 8 months waiting for an egg donor and have had some success and gutting disappointments. We had a donor all ready to go and then they didn't respond to treatment and then another rejected our profile, so just back hopefully waiting for a clinic donor.... But am thinking of advertising as we'll and any other help/ideas would be gratefully appreciated!]]> Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:49:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5861467&title=egg-donation-donors#5861467 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5860461&title=egg-donation-donors#5860461 Author: Parents2Be

Hi Pinky, it is certainly a daunting process, where are you at? Have you done your profile etc. We are hoping to find a clinic recruited ED however I am a member of various forums which only cater for dontation and surrogacy etc. After speaking to people on there I find that is where they have found their ED's. However, it all depends on how you feel about future involvement etc I have had some nibbles already on one of the forums however if you want to PM me I can elaborate a bit more on my experiences thus far. We have decided not to advertise just yet and see what happens with the clinic first, as it so expensive. Anyway good luck with it all and look forward to speaking to yiu and lets hope 2014 is our year :-)]]> Tue, 04 Feb 2014 08:18:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5860461&title=egg-donation-donors#5860461 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5860416&title=egg-donation-donors#5860416 Author: Pinkymalinky

Hi there, i would be interested as well. We are looking at egg donotion and qualify for government funded treatment shortly. However, the process of finding an egg donor is rather daunting and very costly to advertise! How did you find yours FG? did you wait for a clinic one to become available?]]> Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:39:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5860416&title=egg-donation-donors#5860416 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5856149&title=egg-donation-donors#5856149 Author: Parents2Be

Hi

Just want to wish you all the very best in finding a donor. I have a beautiful little girl who is 17 months today, thanks to a NZ donor. If you want to ask any questions feel free to PM and I will try and answer.

She is very much my little girl and I love her to the moon and back ( and beyond ). Can't imagine life without her. Its an amazing gift a donor give, the chance of becoming a Mum.

Take care

FG]]> Sun, 08 Dec 2013 18:49:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5855975&title=egg-donation-donors#5855975 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5855687&title=egg-donation-donors#5855687 Author: Parents2Be

Hi all, we have just been told that our only hope now of conceiving a child is through egg donation. We are now on the database. Was wondering if there are others out there also going through this and if anyone has received donated eggs and how do you feel etc?]]> Wed, 04 Dec 2013 11:45:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43745&PID=5855687&title=egg-donation-donors#5855687
