[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also use a donor embryo instead of a donor egg and donor sperm. That's what we're leaning toward these days. I have DOR and there is no male factor.

Embryo donation is a much cheaper option than egg donation, and there is the possibility of an open donation as opposed to anonymous. What appealed to me and my husband about embryo donation is that possibility. There is research showing that anonymous donation may not be the best option for the children conceived through egg/sperm/embryo donation. It is in fact no longer legal to anonymously donate gametes in the UK and Victoria, Australia based on that research.

I'd be careful in using adoption terminology/reference when referring to embryo donation as there are certain connotations. [/quote]

Thanks for responding and the info. I had not heard about embryo donation. Would an "open donation" mean that the child would be able to contact the donors? Would it mean that the donors had the right to contact the child? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Sorry about the adoption reference, I don't know the sensitivities there and didn't mean to offend. [/quote]
