I know you get reduced rates for egg sharing and it's such a lovely selfless thing to do X

Hey hun

I have just gone through Ivf as an egg sharer. The recipient pays for the treatment and I had to pay £500 pound for screening tests. You will have to have a decent Amh level which gives them an indication of your ovarian reserve,so they know you'll respond to the meds. I'm now pregnant with identical twins and my recipient is pregnant also. It does feel amazing to make someone else's dream come true aswel as your own x

Hi Barbara, what about eggs sharing at overseas clinics? It would probably be cheaper. You can check out overseas clinics on eggdonationfriends.  Good luck with your journey xx
