Things have proceeded rather quickly with my RE's office and we received some donor profiles for fresh and frozen cycles. i've narrowed down to 2 donors that I like the best, and I am feeling pressured to select if we want to proceed with an ET this summer. i have a rather specific profile I'm hoping to match and it seems rather difficult to match all of the basic requirements PLUS similar features and personality attributes. looking for your thoughts pls..
Donor A- meets all of my physical requirements in terms of hair color, eye color, blood type, build. doesn't look as much like me as a child as she does as an adult, according to RE's office who compared the adult photos of us. similar personality to me, although not as well-educated as Donor B. they are down to last batch of frozen eggs so need to act quickly if we want to use them. first time donor- no history.
Donor B- meets most of my physical requirements, except has a diff blood type (this is an issue b/c both DH and I have same blood type, so child has 50/50 chance of having a diff blood type than both of us). looks a lot like my sister as a child and my 3 yo DS, has similar eyes to me. RE's office says she doesn't look as much like me as an adult as Donor A does b/c her coloring is darker than it was as a child. also similar personality to me. i liked her responses better than Donor A as she seems better educated and more worldly, but both of those attributes are can be "nurtured." proven donor, available for fresh cycle only.
thoughts please?
