Anyone has done Embryo Adoption/ donor?

What is the process? Will we have a contribution in the embryo selection process? What are the timings?

Yesterday my clinic confirmed that our main infertility problem lies within the sperm of my husband. We have one last go at Ivf in January. I have bought proxeed for him to try and improve the situation.

We have already decided that of thinga don't work out we will move to Donor embryo.

Hey! I have a friend who is giving me two embryos. You can appeal in Facebook matching groups to find your own embryos privately. If you do it via a clinic it will be anonymous same as the egg donor rules etc so u wouldn’t get to choose as such. Abroad may be different.

Do you mind me asking what the sperm problems are? As it takes 100 days to improve sperm so if you only just got proxeed it might be worth waiting til feb for the ivf?

We just got poor dna fragmentation results, possibly as a result of ecoli found in my husbands sample so we have booked to see a urologist and are maybe going to try ONE more shot with my eggs now that we can potentially improve his sperm. Xx

I think it will definitely be worth holding off another ivf retrieval until you’ve seen the urologist and followed their guidance for 3 month, but for your frostie it is already made so you can transfer whenever. I’m the same I have 2 frosties left before I do another retrieval - one from my own eggs and it is horrific quality, and one from my friends eggs and it’s a 4CB. But we will do everything that we can if they fail to improve sperm quality xx
