If you had a donor egg cycle how much info did your clinic give you when the donor was in stimulation?

Not much! It was literally on a need to know basis everything was so last minute xxx

That’s what I thought. I will call Probably just know what’s happening on the day of egg collection. Might ask them for an update after 5-6 days which is like half way.

I got told when my donor had started stims, then when egg collection would be then it was the dreaded 5 day up date of how many eggs were collected, how many fertilised and the grades of the embryos.xx

Ok so asking about number of follicles and potential eggs might be a step too far! I’ll have to just be patient. Thanks for getting back to me x

Ha ha ha its horrible waiting on news isnt it although to be fair the number of follicles doesnt really have too much bearing on the end result. I guess you could ask, whats the worst they can say....we dont tell you that!?! Good luck.xx

Thanks x

None at all. We didn't get a choice of donor either and only found out minimal information once we had our bfp. Even then that was only her age. X

My clinic was happy to let me know how many follicles my donor had. Even before we began they told me that she had a good AFC and that we could expect a lot of eggs.

But this was through a regular fertility clinic that does not provide egg donors, it was just an altruistic donor that came forward and we were paired with.

Thanks that’s lucky that someone came forward. Very heartwarming! Was that in uk? Did you have success?
