Looking for donor experience

kmc217 · July 2013

I have never posted here but was directed to this board by the infertility board.

My younger sister is going through fertility treatments but was just told her likelihood of conceiving with her own eggs is slim to none (she is 32, has a very poor ovarian reserve and was told she has the eggs of a 45 year old, . I am willing/happy to donate and have loosely discussed the subject with my own midwife and will discuss further once my sister decides for sure what route she wants to take but I was hoping someone might be able to answer a couple questions. BTW, I have had 3 uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries, am in good health with no medical issues. I have also conceived easily/quickly so ostensibly do not have a problem producing eggs (I assume) so would hope that I would be a good donor candidate for her.

1. I just gave birth 1 week ago -- how soon post partum can I start stimulating egg production?

2. Can you do it while breastfeeding?

3. I am 34 and I know that for private donation you must be under 35, but would that necessarily matter in the case of it being my sister and her opting to use my eggs?

TIA for any answers you all might have!

A few years back my sister and I looked into this. She was considering donating her eggs to me. We were told she would need to have a few pp periods and would have to be finished breast feeding.

Thank you for being so generous for considering donating your eggs to her. I do not see why a clinic would deny you from donating your eggs to her.

I think there are a few ladies who post on SAIF (here is the link) who have used sisters as their donors. They may have more information for you.

Good Luck with your decision.

Congrats on you LO!!

I'm getting points for things! I don't know why, but I like rewards!!! Can I trade my points in for donuts?

Just say funny things. People will love it. People love you. We'll get through this.

I'm still ragey, BTW.

LindsayDesigner · July 2013

Probably not.
I bet it doesn't work for cupcakes either.

I'm confused too! Anyone else see the 2 random posts about IVF in this thread? I feel like kids will be neglected and house work will not be accomplished today.

Yes, what's up with that? It's so odd.

I wonder if any of our posts show up on other boards. Wouldn't that be weird if the posts where we talked about the strange, random posts then BECAME strange, random posts on another board's thread?

I really need to sleep more!

But then it wouldn't so random in a post about random posts. We'd be random people though. Haha! I need more sleep too but for now more coffee will have to do.
