Episode 22: WARRIOR STORY & ASK THE EXPERT - Egg Donor Process and Egg Donor and IVF Abroad with Sarah Kowalski of Motherhood Reimagined

Welcome to Episode 22.  This is a requested episode from Instagram.  Today, we talk about Donor Eggs and IVF/Egg Donation Abroad. When I originally recorded this episode it was back around the end of April.  In light of recent events, considering IVF abroad may be something that is coming up for you.  Luckily, Sarah Kowalski of Motherhood Reimagined shares some of her experience and her clients experiences with seeking egg donor abroad and domestically. If you want to hear Sarah’s story, you can listen to episode 7 where she shares her path to independent parenthood and coming to terms with needing an egg donor.   Today, we focus primarily on the egg donor process and she shares what her experience was like in going abroad and researching using egg donor abroad.  Now, we don’t specifically go into what this experience is like with a partner.  I have someone sharing that experience in a couple of months.  She went through IVF in Mexico and is now doing a cycle in the US.  After her US cycle, she and I were going to have a conversation, so she could have better insight into differences and pros and cons to each. Domestically, there are some cost saving programs, and I’ve linked them in the show notes for you.  CNY has a program and Dr. Aimee the Egg Whisperer also has the Freeze and Share program. Egg donation is a complex topic.  I know I can’t cover it all in one episode.  I want to cover more stories and perspectives, so you can understand the experience and hopefully have the information to make the choice that is best for you. I hope this is helpful for you.  As always, I have links available for you in the show notes about the things we have discussed today.
