Process of Selecting an EGG DONOR | Infertility Journey 2024
In this video, I explain the necessary steps to find an egg donor. I expected the process of choosing an egg donor to be simpler than it is, but I've learned to adapt and be realistic with my "wants" checklist. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for three years, but nothing has worked. We've done all the tests, treatments, and procedures, but we still can't get pregnant. It's been a heartbreaking journey, and we've almost given up hope. But then we learned about egg donation, and we decided to give it a try. We are using our fertility clinic, CCRM, as our agency. They match donors with recipients, and we have started to look for our perfect match. We want someone who has similar features, interests, and values as us, someone who would be willing to help us create our family. We know it's not a guarantee, but we feel like this is our best chance. God has a purpose, and I'm fully trusting in Him. Egg donation is a generous, compassionate act from one human to another. She believed in His plan, even when she could not see His path! "Wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong." Psalm 27:14 Hope is the positive expectation that God is about to do something good in your life.
