Hello,

I'm making a documentary for Radio 4 that will focus on the difficulty that Black/Asian women have in finding suitable egg donors (i.e same ethnicity).

This programme will be a first person narrative where a woman in this position meets experts to talk through her situation and try and find some answers.

We've found someone who will tell this story but I'm keen for her to meet someone who was in a similar position (couldn't find a suitable donor) but eventually did.

If anyone is interested or has any other suggestions about this programme please contact me at ben.carter@bbc.co.uk

With best wishes,

Ben

Hi Ben, I can't help personally but wanted to say that I think it's fantastic you are working to highlight this issue. As a recipient of egg donation myself, I have met many fellow hopeful recipients who struggle to find a suitable ethnic match.

I just wanted to suggest also posting your message on a second Health Unlocked forum, 'Fertility Network UK', if you haven't done so already. It is a really active community and may get some more attention for your request.

Best wishes and will look out for this documentary!
