elenp on "Can't find a donor - Advice?"

Hi Girls,

I wanted to ask you this as most of you have already found donors.

I am having a very hard time finding a donor. I have been actively searching for 4 months. I am looking at 4 agencies that my RE's office recommended because they have worked with them before and find them on the up and up.

Why can't I find a donor?

These are my (hopefully) criteria: Proven, Healthy with a healthy family history, good number of eggs/embryos, resembles me - doesn't have to look like me but would like dark hair and similar features, attractive - doesn't have to be beauty queen but pleasant looking, local or close so I don't have to pay for travel fees.

Am I being too picky for a donor? My wants have changed since I started. One thing I wanted for Sure was a proven donor but now I'm wondering if I should settle for ones who have their own children or even young girls who don't have children or are not proven. And I'm also willing to pay for travel now and I have given up on most of the similar features.

Should I change my criteria or stand my ground?

I find that if I find a donor that has similar looks to me than she is not proven. If she is proven she is the complete opposite of me. Or if I love her I find something in her healthy history (like alcoholism that can be past down). It's just so frustrating and I'm starting to believe I will never find anyone.

Also, I promised myself when I turned 42 back in May that I would have this DE cycle going and hopefully pg within the year. I feel I'm starting to get to old for this and really feel this is my last year to try to get pg.

Any advice or comments are welcomed. I guess I'm just getting discouraged.

Thanks,
Dawn
