So we are currently on our DEs waiting list for a donor, it's been 2 months, not a big deal. I know this was going to be a waiting game. My husband mentioned to me that his friends GF, basically his wife, offered to donate her eggs to us. She is 31yrs old and has a 3 year old daughter. She is right at the cut off mark for her age. I don't have any emotional attachment to her and barley know her. I told my husband to ask if she was serious or was it one of those things that people say, he told me that she was serious. I know she doesn't know what is involved as far as the time she would have to spend with the hormone process and the check ups and travel time. I went through IVF so I know what it details.
Do I consider this? Do we have them over for dinner and explain the situation and let her decide from there? Do you think I need to call my doctor's office to get there opinion bc now would I have to get a lawyer involved on my own? I've never done this before so not sure how the process goes if you know your donor. So are we really going to save any money in the long run. She would be conpensated but not as much as we would have given to an anyonmus donor. I don't know if I should open this can of worms. Any have any suggestions or used a donor they knew. I always inmagined my sister to be my donor but she is too old but I know there would be no gray tape w/ my sister but when you throw someone else into that situation how to you proceed?
We don't hang out w/ this couple. My husband works w/ his friend and we see them on occasion, work event and/or if we big get together.
Not sure what to do... Any ideas or advice.
