Egg sharing question

Post subject: Egg sharing question Hello, does anyone know whether you can egg share if your a cystic fibrosis carrier? I know they test for it but then it doesnt say whether or not being a carrier prevents you from doing it. I always assumed it would so have ruled it out, but now Im thinking its worth finding out for definite as the Nuffield do IVF for free and free drugs when you share your eggs!
Thanks. _________________  Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:50 pm

Sorry but im with Julie on this one .....im just starting ivf and we thought about egg share but decided against, but if you carry any genetical dissorder they will not let you share eggs ....... good luck best wishes sharon x Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:35 pm

Post subject: Hi fc79,
How are you? Just thought as I am going to donate eggs, I would share with you what I know. If you are a carrier of cyctic fibrosis, i'm not sure that would rule you out entirely, I think it depends on the clinic. As long as the male isn't a carrier it would be fine, found this on the following website: http://www.ivfcliniclondon.com/en/egg-donation/selection-of-egg-providers.html it says: 1 in 25 people in this Country carry a gene abnormality for cystic fibrosis. If you are a carrier it does not mean that you have any medical problem. It just tells us that we cannot fertilise your eggs with the sperm of a man who is also a Cystic fibrosis carrier as this would lead to a 1 in 4 chance of a baby being born with the disease of cystic fibrosis. You could still donate your eggs to a couple where the man is not a carrier. Thought it may be worth you asking or phoning around a few clinics, to find out? Hope it helps ka xxx Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2009 11:07 am
Post subject: Thank you, that really helps. I did email a few clinics near me, my nearest one came back saying they wouldnt accept me for egg share and I havent heard back from the others yet. I think I will phone round now.
Thanks again. _________________ Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:04 am
Post subject: Good luck FC79, and do phone, I emailed several clinics when we were deciding which one to use and only 2 got back to me. You get a better response if you call.
