[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having been a donor at another clinic, I hope your donor is okay after producing that many eggs.  It seems unreasonable for one woman to have to produce enough for 3 couples.[/quote]

They usually produce 25-30, which is quite normal for a young donor producing eggs for just one couple.

Mine was unusual.  As stated above, getting 13 eggs for your share is very high--I was hoping for 8 on the outside.  What's even more unusual is how many made it to blast.  Only 50% in the 1:3 share program get to freeze blasts.  If you have a donor to yourself, you are very likely to have frozen blasts--more than any one family can use--this is making me feel better about the 1:3 share--she really is helping three couples instead of one, and there are less embryos that are going to get trashed.

I have no idea of her protocol.  They told me she's doing well.  I'm not sure overstimulation would even work to create a larger crop of eggs than a donor can make--ovaries have limits.

I do wish they paid them more--I'm not dying to pay more but the clinic keeps way too much of what we pay, since she's the star of the show.[/quote]
