Donor Selection

Hi, I found a donor who is 32 years old. She is first time donor with no kids. She had been married for 8 years since she was 21 y.o. But she split up a few years ago.

Her current amh is 1.64ng/ml (11.71pmol/L) but her AFC is very good, 9 each side, total AFC is 18. There is discordance between the AMH level and AFC. Should I use her as donor?
 


For freelance egg donor, I personally advise that either you yourself or your local IVF clinic take charge of daily injections for superovulation. Would it be possible for you to arrange for a nurse at your local IVF clinic to administer and record daily injections to your donor? Or else, make sure you visit her everyday to ensure she injects herself.

Otherwise, if you use an egg donor agency, there is usually a coordinator who will take charge of the routine injections.

Remember that strict adherence to the hormone injection protocol for superovulation is absolutely crucial for success.

High antral follicle count is also characteristic of Patients with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Typically PCOS patients produce more eggs during IVF, but the larger number of eggs are less mature and of poorer quality, which may compromise IVF success.
 
Thanks for the feedback. She's freelance donor. I might feel heartache and watching my money go down the drain if no success. if succeed, my baby will have good gene.

Talking about genes, it may be prudent to spend a few hundred dollars to do genetic testing of the egg donor's blood sample, to screen for any unknown hereditary diseases that she might be carrying. This is a much cheaper alternative option, as compared to genetic testing of IVF embryos (PGS / PGT-A), which is often recommended for patients receiving egg donation in Malaysia.

Anyway in Singapore, PGS / PGT-A is restricted to a strictly-regulated clinical trial at government hospitals only. It is unavailable at private IVF centres.

Here is are website links that gives the best and most competitive genetic testing companies in Singapore:



A blood sample contains thousands of white blood cells, from which an abundant amount of DNA genetic material can be extracted. By contrast, only a few cells and tiny amount of DNA are extracted from the embryo during PGS (biopsy procedure). This makes it technically simpler and much cheaper to do genetic testing of the Egg Donor's blood sample, as compared to genetic screening of embryos with PGS / PGT-A.

Thanks for the advice. I want to take a risk because she graduated from ivy league schools. She is tall, healthy and pretty too. I found her thru Instagram and asked her to consider to be my donor. To my surprise, she agreed to donate after knowing my struggle to have a child is real.
