On this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm talking all about how to pick an egg donor, sperm donor, and gestational carrier. Everyday, I work with people who are in the process of finding the right egg donor, or sperm donor, or a carrier who is a great fit for their family. It's important to me that each person finds the right match, and that everyone involved feels well informed, and empowered when working with donors and carriers. I'll share more about how I personalize this side of fertility care.

Can you recommend your favorite egg banks? I know they can be sketchy, so I don't want to just do a Google search, but the one my clinic recommended has such dismal options that it makes me want to make another failed IVF attempt. Definitely NOT excited.
My husband and I are now at such a loss of where to go from here and would appreciate any advice you can offer. We have had 4 failed donor egg cycles with 2 different donors and all embryos were pgs tested.
I have grade 4 endometriosis that we feel has never been considered and I’ve also got a retroverted uterus and now wonder if this can cause some technical difficulty with the embryo transfer (it’s been the same doctor for each transfer)
We have now spent around £40,000 and feel we are no further forward and ultimately we no closer to getting our very much wanted wee baby. Our hearts are broken and we feel we are running out of all options.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. I’m 44 and my husband is 40. We both work in the medical profession and have felt very frustrated and let down with the experiences we’ve had in this field of medicine
Many thanks in advance
I'm very very sorry for all you've been through. I'm going to talk through your case on my next fertility q+a. I would tell you that if you were my patient I would: check your fallopian tubes to see if hydrosalpinges are affecting your success. I would also consider 2-3 months of depot-lupron prior to another transfer. if your transfer is difficult, consider doing your transfer under anesthesia. These are just a few things that I would consider. If you want to watch the q+a, It will be this Tuesday at 5PM PST and I will post it on TH-cam too. instagram.com/eggwhisperer/
Egg Whisperer Show aww Dr Aimee we honestly cannot thank you enough for taking time to reply and give consideration to our situation. Please know we appreciate your advice and we are so grateful you are going to discuss our case at your next q&a. We will definitely tune in to listen and take onboard every piece of advice or help you can offer. My husband would be more than willing to pay and arrange a Skype/zoom appointment with you if you felt it would be beneficial so you could have more information about our case. We are now just looking for any help we can get.
Thanks so much again and in the meantime we will look forward to listening in on Tuesday. You truly do a fantastic job within an area of medicine that sadly has so many vulnerable patients that probably only infertility patients can truly understand. Take care 🙏🏻
SWVV Sharman thank you for such a kind reply. I’d love to help you. You can email me: email@eggwhisperer.com and my assistant will coordinate a call ❤️
I'm 28 and the love of my life is 46. She may not have eggs that are not chromosomally defected at this point, or very few... Can we do gestational? Or is traditional better at this point? I'd like 3 kids and she's open to it.
You would want to explore egg donation with her. She could have three kids but she would be having her 3rd at 50 which means she would have to be under the care of great doctors that will watch her closely.
My son and wife went through IVF after 2 years of not conceiving. Unfortunately her eggs were not viable. So now they are seeking out an egg donor. I have now learned that they are seeking a sperm donor as well. The reason? My daughter in law wants it to be even and fair. In other words, if she can’t have a biological child she doesn’t want him to either. I was outraged! I know it’s ultimately their decision, but I really question her thinking and am having a hard time with it. Please, anyone, can you give an opinion?
Tell her about Epigenetics. As the baby grows in her, although she doesn't contribute to the genes, her body will influence how the genetic code is expressed. Her environment, what she eats, will all have influence in the creation of the baby. Studies show that her cells will be inside the baby for years and vice versa. She will give birth and can breastfeed. She will have influence on how the baby develops. If her husband's sperm is not used, he will have no connection at all. So in her terms How is that fair, that she has influence on the development of the baby, but he, in turn, will not?
