| | Donor Options: Egg, Sperm and Embryo -- Linda Applegarth, EdD -- 09/17/2003 - Trustworthy, Physician-Reviewed Information from WebMD |
 | | Applegarth: I think that having personal knowledge of or personal contact with an egg donor can sometimes be a double-edged sword. | | | Working with a donor that you have a positive relationship with can be beneficial in that often the recipient has a better understanding and control of the genetic make up of the child. | | | That information is usually available through the sperm bank, and often the bank will provide an extensive profile of the donor, which includes personal information as well as a full family medical history. |

| | Being a recipient of donor eggs from out of town can be done with one trip to our clinic | | | Egg donation (also called oocyte donation or ovum donation) can be used as an effective treatment for infertility of all causes except for women with infertility caused by an anatomic problem with the uterus, such as severe intrauterine adhesions. | | | Donors must live within 40 miles of our egg donation clinic in Gurnee |

| | Making Legal Decisions in Egg Donation |
| | By the time you decide to create your family with the help of an egg donor, you may be a walking encyclopedia on your medical condition and have prepared yourself emotionally, but what about the legal aspects of egg donation, an expanding area of law? | | | This may seem obvious, but the egg donor may have other ideas than yours. | | | In California, you can be reasonably assured that your intentions to be parents of a child conceived with the donor's eggs, as detailed in your agreement will be upheld. |

| | Eggs - Good for you body? |
| | Eggs can stay fresh for about three weeks if they are stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator (usually the bottom shelf) in their original carton. | | | Raw egg whites can be stored in a refrigerator safely for up to 4 days and unbroken raw yolks, covered with water, for up to 2 days in a tightly sealed container. | | | It is clear that eggs are an excellent source of calories (75 calories), cholesterol (213 mg), protein (6.25 gm), and a variety of important nutrients for the body. |

| | While internal recruitment is a time-consuming process for our staff, we believe this service provides a multitude of benefits for our patients, making it all worthwhile. | | | When our staff is managing both sides of this complex process more intimate, effective communications take place between the clinical team-recipient and the clinical team-donor. | | | In just the last three years, the Egg Donation Program at Shady Grove Fertility has successfully matched nearly 600 recipient couples with qualified egg donors. |

| | EGG DONATION: PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCES OF RECIPIENTS |
| | This article is based on our experiences working with couples wishing to use an egg donor. | | | For some couples, an egg donor procedure is the next step after they have tried every possible avenue to get pregnant with their own eggs. | | | Because they are keenly aware of these special qualities, and because they fully expected their child to inherit these characteristics, they are very difficult to satisfy in their choice of a donor. |

| | Michael H. Goldhaber's Radio Weblog |
| | But if the fertilized egg is thought to represent an individual, that is an indivisible whole that can turn only into a single human, that is of course wrong. | | | In vitro, the fertilized egg has no chance whatsoever to become a human unless it is deliberately implanted in a woman's uterus, and even then the chances are quite small. | | | So it is probably accurate to say that a fertilized human egg is statistically unlikely to become a human being, even if the odds are not so heavily stacked against it as for the acorn becoming an oak. |

| | Yet, all of the different cell types in our body are all derived, or arise, from a single, fertilized egg cell through differentiation. | | | Look closely at the human body, and it is clear that not all cells are alike. | | | Each haploid cell can subsequently fuse with a gamete of the opposite sex during sexual reproduction. |

| | The Implications of Defining When a Woman Is Pregnant |
| | Fertilization describes the process by which a single sperm gradually penetrates the layers of an egg to form a new cell ("zygote"). | | | According to both the scientific community and long-standing federal policy, a woman is considered pregnant only when a fertilized egg has implanted in the wall of her uterus; however, state definitions of pregnancy vary widely. | | | If fertilization does not occur during that time, the egg dissolves and then hormonal changes trigger menstruation; however, if fertilization does occur, the zygote divides and differentiates into a "preembryo" while being carried down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. |

| | Zygote Adoption - Adoption Encyclopedia |
| | In some cases, a donor egg is also used, and the fetus will not be genetically related to either of its ultimate parents. | | | A key disadvantage mentioned by many critics of zygote adoption is that it appears likely money would change hands, especially between a donor mother and the gestational mother who carries the child. | | | Some sperm bank donors have given permission for their names to be released when the child is over 18, and such a policy or a policy to release nonidentifying information could be adapted by organizations that facilitate embryo adoptions; however, it appears unlikely. |

| | The most difficult thing about switching from red to natural colored eggs is breaking through a barrier that has developed over the years where anglers believe red eggs are the only color that works on trout. | | | Salmon, steelhead and trout eggs tend to be yellow, white, orange and shades of these colors depending on where in the world you're fishing, the size of the trout and the species. | | | Eggs are best fished when plucked, tossed, drifted and cast into high mountain waters. |

| | Remember the egg cells in the flower had to be fertilized with male pollen to grow into seeds, and the chicken egg has to be fertilized with sperm from a rooster before it can hold a baby chick embryo. | | | Each egg is a jelly ball with a black dot inside that is the frog embryo and a clear or whitish part that is the embryo's food supply. | | | Inside the egg is a chicken embryo (a small white dot on the yellow yolk) and stored food (yolk) plus water and minerals (the white) that the embryo needs while it is growing and developing. |

| | The Facts of Life |
| | Now, according to every embryology text in the world, as soon as a fertilized egg begins to divide, it is no longer a fertilized egg, she is an embryo. | | | Even the technicians at the local in vitro fertilization clinic, people who refuse to recognize the fact that an embryo is a real child, recognize this much. | | | Misunderstanding this single fact destroys the ability to think clearly about a host of issues, yet even medical doctors regularly mis-speak when they discuss it. |

| | God's Conception Magic Act |
| | Given the context that life is made up of never-ending, ever-moving, ever-changing cycles of birth, life, and death, the question is: "Where, in its transition from an integral part of a woman’s body to a breathing baby, does the egg become an independent unit of life separate from its mother?” | | | When you consider the individual members of a life form such as humans, there are indeed beginnings and endings. | | | Placing a strict, inflexible, dividing line in the cycle of human life can be done only by arbitrary choice. |
