Dear Potential Donor:

We are currently 5 1/2 months pregnant with boy/girl twins because a wonderful woman donated her eggs to us. We tried for many years to get pregnant and found out that my eggs were not the quality we needed. We feel very blessed to know that someone was generous enough to go through the procedure to help us out.

I did start with the procedure that you would go through before we realized that my eggs were not going to work. I do know a bit about all the tests, drugs, and emotions that you would go through. But I do know that what our donor has done for us can never be matched. She has given us the opportunity to have a family, something that my husband and I have always dreamed about. The twins will be our first children and probably only, so we feel very lucky that she so unselfishly gave of herself.

One great thing that I would like to point out is the staff at Dr. Schoolcraft's office. They are the most caring, supportive, and professional people I have ever met in the medical profession. I do not see them anymore since I am now seeing a perinatologist, but I feel that they are now family and call them regularly with updates on how I am doing. I am sure that the experience will be a great one for you.

In conclusion, we would like to tell you that what you can do for an infertile couple is one of the most unselfish and rewarding things anyone could do for someone. We know our donor's birthday and will always celebrate it in our own way to thank her. She is always in our thoughts and prayers and I am sure once the babies are born, she will be in our thoughts even more because of the miracle that she helped us to achieve.

Good luck with your decision.
Laura
