DONOR RECIPIENT CONSULTATIONS

The decision to use donor sperm or eggs to achieve the goal of parenthood can be a complex decision with many considerations. I offer consultations for intended parents who are pursuing the use of anonymous/unknown donor gametes that keep within the guidelines and recommendations of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM.)

​

Consultations provide an opportunity for you to :

• further explore your interest in using donor gametes 

• receive psychoeducation regarding the different facets of the decision to use donor eggs/sperm

​

Various Topics will be covered during the consultation including: ​​​

• personal, relationship, and infertility history

• loss of genetic contribution to potential child

• recipient concerns regarding use of donor eggs/sperm

• disclosure regarding the use of donor eggs/sperm

• anonymity

• other family building options

• resources

​

Consultations typically consist of one meeting that lasts for approximately for 90 minutes. A written summary of the consultation along with any recommendations can be provided to a treatment provider, if desired, with signed consent.

**Please note that I am not currently scheduling Donor Recipient Consultations.
