[quote=Anonymous]Sooo my sister froze a bunch of eggs, had a two kids, and is holding onto them because she already pre-paid for storage and "might change her mind some day on more kids." I don't know the number left but I got the sense it was "a lot" from our conversations years ago. She and I get along well, talk on the phone maybe every other week to every month, see each other several times a year. She knows I've have some fertility struggles and is always really sympathetic but has never offered me her eggs. I don't know if that's because she doesn't want to give me them (which I of course would totally respect) or she doesn't think I'd want them. I obviously don't want to push or pressure her at all, but I want to gently float the idea that I would be interested. I could say I'm looking into donor eggs in general but I kind of want to be a little more direct that that because if I say that she might assume I am specifically not looking for her eggs (have not said that I am looking for a donor to her yet).  Is there any way to express that I would really appreciate it but not make her feel pressured?[/quote]
