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.
