Egg banks for anonymous eggs

We have been waiting for the egg retrieval of the second IVF cycle. Today's echo showed that we might cancel the cycle because I only have two follicles. It will be decided on Friday, but I don't think we have any chance to continue.

My AMH is too low (0,7) thus we don't have more hopes about my eggs. We look for an egg bank to get anonymous eggs in Europe. If you know any, please write a comment. Thank you.

Most countries have their own laws. Spain egg donors are anonymous

I saw Spanish banks. I live in the Netherlands and wondering whether we could find it in Belgium which is much closer to us. Otherwise, we should ask whether they can transfer the eggs. Thank you.

we used anonymous donation in greece , we waited a month but that was years ago now but depending on your characteristics you require the minimum time the clinic we used always give 3 months timeframe as a minimum sometimes it can be sooner but generally 3 months is the minimum but can take a little longer.

Did you travel to Greece for this reason or did they ship the eggs?

I travelled to greece they picked the donor for us sent us the minimal information they are allowed to give and then we decided based on that i will send you a PM of who we used as cannot name clinics in here.

Although I see you are looking for egg banks, I do want to throw this out there since I had one of the same issues as you low AMH… normal is 1. And then also did a number of IVF’s. Did you ever take anything to try and raise your AMH? My AMH was raised with DHEA which raises testosterone, so you need to know your testosterone level. NAD, Co-Q10, Ovsitol, flair protocol, split gonadotropins in am & pm, dual stimulation. Estrogen priming and possible growth hormone. I kept a folder full of notes because I was much younger at the time. I also didn’t have autoimmune issues at the time either. I may be overstepping my boundaries suggesting that… if so I apologize, I just didn’t want to leave any stone unturned if it might help. I did ask a friend who used donors eggs in the United States about the process, she said they tested her and the eggs to make sure they were compatible and rule out any genetic birth defects. I don’t know if all egg donor banks do that? Wishing you the best!

Thank you for caring. I use coq10, but I don't believe that AMH can rise since it indicates the egg reserve and it can only go down. Randy Morris explains on YouTube and I also got consultation from him. Testing the donation egg is a good idea. We will ask that. Right now I am with 3 follicles and the still didn't cancel my egg retrieval. Today I have another ultrasound planned. I pray that my little number of follicles give at least two eggs and maybe one becomes a baby 🙏 If not, we continue with donation...

I watched a few episodes of Randy Morris and learned a few things, he’s very good… thanks for mentioning him! Good luck on your ultrasound… and you are right, it only takes 1 egg to make a baby. 🤞

Indeed, I also say the same to myself to stop worrying about the AMH and all other things. Only 1 egg... we pray that egg comes and sticks soon! God bless!
