[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did Shared Risk at SG and selected from their database of fresh donors and split the eggs with one other couple.  If you go the fresh egg route, my recommendation would be to explore their database early and often to get a feel for what kind of donors they have and which donors are in high demand and get selected quickly because, in the end, you may need to make a quick decision to lock in your first choice.  We looked at the database for about 6 months and when we were ready to pick, another couple selected her first, so we had to quickly lock in as the #2 position on the share.

SG also has a relationship with Donor Egg Bank USA, which is a frozen egg bank.  The selection was slightly larger because donors were from all over the US.  Occasionally, though not often, I saw fresh egg donors show up in the frozen egg database.  You know in advance how many eggs you will be getting, whereas, with fresh, the number of eggs is uncertain, and you will split them with the couple who is sharing the donor, if you are doing a share.  That said,  my recollection is that the number of frozen eggs you receive is comparable to the number you get in a shared situation.  Also with frozen there is no guarantee that they will survive the unthawing process.  And there may be an extra fee.

Long story short:  We are weeks away from delivering our baby, conceived, in the first round, thru fresh donor egg ivf at SG.  The experience was very positive![/quote]

We did frozen at SG and this pp's info is not correct.  There is a guarantee that you will get one embryo to make it to transfer or your money back.  As with the fresh donors, frozen lots go quickly too.  I watched the stock for a while before we made a decision because once you're ready you need to be quick deciding.  The frozen process is a cakewalk compared to real IVF.[/quote]
