Research Question for the group

[dukegirlsc]

Ladies, I am starting to research clinics, national egg donor databases and all of that sort of thing. I am wondering if I could benefit from research already completed by you guys into clinics and databases that you have found to be great to work with. I am not terribly concerned about location, I just want the best. We will be doing a fresh donor so that PGS testing can be performed followed by a FET. So a rockstar lab is very important. Also with some clinics (like CCRM) there are NO donors that meet our specifications, crazy. I'm just hoping for some direction and help from this group's knowledge. Thank you in advance, I appreciate it so much!

Hi, dukegirlsc, we are using donor sperm so I don't have any good answers for you! I can add you to the TPR TTC check in or you can just go post there; you might get a response!

I don't know about CCRM's donor database, but at SGF it really, really, REALLY is a race to pick a donor quickly before she's gone. They have ~15 donors up currently who are my race and hair color but who have been on there for months, unchosen. I've seen 2 pop up and go within *minutes* this week and I loved them both, but I can't choose until my husband's yearly std screen comes back.

Does CCRM give out guest access to their donor database so you can stalk it and see if they have donors come and go quickly like that?

If you want a clinic that does a LOT of donor cycles, check the SART database. That's how we picked Caro.lin.a Con.ceptio.ns in Raleigh. They do a lot and their success rates are really good. Granted they push PGS and ICSI on everyone but hey why not? If you're going to that much trouble, might as well throw the kitchen sink at it I figure. Their database is limited too, but they will work with outside agencies also which is nice. I was working with An An.gel.'s G.ift and they are lovely and have a very extensive database, at least of Caucasians.
