Treatment plan:
·
Scratch biopsy or
other prep? Mock cycle?
·
Progesterone/estrogen
use: Vivelle patch/Crinone progesterone
·
Birth
control pills used?
·
Lining
check before transfer?
Egg bank questions:
·
Does database show how long the eggs
have been frozen–the year they were vitrified?
·
Does the length of time the eggs were
frozen affect survival and fertilization rates?
·
Have all the eggs in the bank been
vitrified in the same way?
·
Is there any risk of choosing eggs that
have been frozen in an outdated or little-practiced way?
·
Have all the donors relinquished their
legal rights to offspring?
·
Can I ask if the donor is “proven” or is
a mother—for each donor in the bank I am considering?
·
I know live birth rate is 60/70%, but
what is miscarriage rate after embryo transfer?
·
I am relatively young and would like a
second child at some point. What are the chances of having leftover frozen
embryos?
·
Does the clinic maintain contact with
donors? Health status/issues if they come up for either of us?
·
Can you tell me about psychological
screening done on donors, or health information on the donor’s family?
·
How many eggs will be unfrozen for me (I
see the contract does not guarantee the two high quality embryos if part of the
refund program)?
Logistics:
·
When
do we pay the 30K?
·
What
is the “Profile with $500 deposit,” and when do we pay the $500?
·
Follow-up (beta, early
ultrasounds): no fertility coverage left, but go to fertility center for care?
Or can a primary care doc do beta testing?
·
Does guarantee include
voluntary termination if it occurs?
Timing:
·
Timeline for how soon
we can start- do we have to wait till day 20 of a cycle? I have 43 day cycles
and just started one, so another 60 days? Can birth control pills used to
shorten this wait?
·
When
will new donors be added?
·
How long would I have
to wait between cycles if a cycle doesn’t work?
Next Steps:
·
$500, genetic waiver,
consent forms?
