Dear reader,
The journey through infertility can be a long one, with a lifelong impact, no matter the outcome. You have found yourself considering donor conception as an option. Perhaps your doctor recommended it, or your friend or partner, maybe you learned about it somewhere else and are curious about if this could be the route for you. While nothing is easy once infertility is involved, every path to parenthood is valid. There is more than one way for a child to join a family, and there is more than one way to become a parent. Donor conception is one of the ways a family can grow – and it may be how your family will grow.
Whatever brought you to consider donor conception as a path to parenthood, this resource is meant to outline the donor conception process – whether exploring donor sperm, donor egg, donor embryo or double donors. It will help guide you through some of the difficult decisions, explain concepts, and shed light on many of the confusing pieces of the process. You will also find helpful resources throughout to continue deepening your understanding of the lifelong impact donor conception can have on your child and your family.
We hope that this information helps you at whatever stage in the donor conception process you find yourself in today. Please remember, Yesh Tikva is here to provide ongoing support on your infertility journey – no matter where it leads you.
