Hi
I'm new to this board and to the donor egg concept as well (although I'm getting up to speed quickly). I have done 6 IVF cycles in my home country (far away from the US!) without success (3 m/cs, 2 canceled, 1 BFN) due to my age. We are now seriously considering donor eggs and doing this in the States - a 14 hour flight for us. I am trying to figure out what agencies to look at/seriously consider (I already know about the various in-house programs which are an option - but I think I have all the info I need on the programs we are considering).
I have come across bits & pieces of info on a few of the agencies - but not enough to give me a real sense of whether one is trustworthy/reliable/caring/responsive/strict with screening their donors/etc.
We have a strong preference of cycling on the West Coast and do not want to select a donor who has to travel which probably means that one of the Calif agencies are our best choice.
I am hoping that people who have dealt with agencies (especially those with a lot of Calif/West Coast donors) can tell me something about their experiences - and be specific about agency names - either by PM or by replying to this post. I have been onto greateggs but haven't found it all that helpful as there just isn't that much feedback - especially if you are looking for recent feedback. I know that there must be lots of people out there with experience with these agencies as they are very busy...I would truly appreciate hearing about them.
Thank you...
