[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger sister has offered to donate her eggs to us since IVF with my own eggs hasn't worked yet. Would love any advice from those who have used eggs from a relative or friend. Did you run into any unexpected problems? Did you tell your child who the donor was? Did you sign any kind of agreement with your relative/friend? Did you all talk to a counselor together to prepare? I assume insurance won't cover this even though it covers my own IVF. What can I do to make things as easy as possible for her? How did your husband/partner handle it (mine is still not comfortable with it). No one has ever offered such a precious gift to us before and I am floored.  [/quote]

Yes use your sister’s egg. You have the same genetic matter along. I have a friend who did this. All are fine. I am trying to use my brother’s sperm (I have no sister) and am worried about DH response to the idea. [/quote]

—— PP, forgive me here, but if you want to use your brother’s sperm to conceive, isn’t that medically permitting inbreeding? You could run into a host of genetic issues as could future children of any conceived children in this process. [/quote]

No. It would be a donor egg. Same as using sister’s egg and husband or donor sperm. [/quote]
