There are many reasons why women need donated eggs. Most women receiving donor eggs are women whose own eggs are too old to be fertilized. The majority of these women are over the age of 40, but our program has helped many 30 year old women with premature menopause and premature "old eggs". Many of the women needing donor eggs have been trying to get pregnant on their own for several years. Some of the women needing donor eggs have a genetic condition which requires them to use donor eggs to prevent the genetic condition from being passed on to their offspring. The following are stories and letters from women or families who have received donor eggs.
