Donor match?

Hi all,

I finally got offered an egg donor today but...

She's 5 inches shorter than me with dark blonde hair and I'm a brunette. She's also 33 and I was worried that was getting old for quality of eggs ( I worry about this as I was diagnosed with early menopause at 32)

Any advice?

Donors can be under 35. You'd think they would have checked her for follicle counts and egg reserve. Are you worried about her height and hair colour? You can always ask about a different donor.

I donated eggs a few months ago and you're never going to know the quality of the egg until after egg collection. I'm 29 and I donated 6 of my 13. Of the 7 I had 6 were mature. If egg reserve is too low I don't think they'd allow to donate or at least wouldn't recommend it.

Wow... I know many women including me that would jump at the chance you have been given.....

What is it you are worried about? From my understanding the protocol is women under 35 are eligible for donation so I can only assume that she met the right criteria....

We're using an egg sharer and when we got told what her characteristics were I really didn't care.. It is still a massive chance to have a family. Just go with your gut instinct.. I had 2 day 3 embryos transfered and now have a BFP.. good luck with your journey xx
