[quote=Anonymous]We did frozen donor eggs via RBA in Atlanta and had a smooth long-distance experience with them.
I first reached out to them in October, had a phone consult with doc mid-month. November was spent on all the required paperwork, deposit (which got me full access to egg database) and did whatever remaining screening tests were required. We had interest in two donors that didn't pan out before securing our egg donor on Dec 4. Started the cycle meds. Husband flew to Atlanta to do sperm and then I followed 4 days later for transfer during the last week of January (had an 8 egg lot -- ultimately only 2 fertilized). Picture perfect embryo didn't take. Gut wrenching. Skipped a cycle and then started meds for 2nd transfer in March, flew down for 2nd transfer in early April and (as in the words of my doc) my "crappy-looking embryo" was transferred. You just honestly never know what will work out and why. Transfer took and I had a very uneventful pregnancy and gave birth that December. My daughter is somehow a near spitting-image of me, even my mother comments at times how crazy it is. I can't imagine anyone else being my daughter - not even a genetically related child - and it's truly amazing how it really does work out for the best in the end. The days can be long during the process and the yearning great.  It is the most humbling experience I have had undergone, in the best way possible. I have learned a whole new meaning for the word "gratitude."
I wish you well and peace on your journey.[/quote]
