Hi - You ask about Egg donation, firstly may I say that anyone entering into an egg donation programme will have a number of consultations usually with a dedicated team at their clinic. This will involve implications counselling with an independant specialist in this field, so you will be "fully informed" as to the programmes available to you, and most importantly the emotional, practical and clinical implications of the programmes.
With this information one is able to access and choose the programme that best suits your circumstances.
The counsellor will help you to explore and find new stratergies to come to terms with any issues that you may have, as clearly ones journey to arrive at this option would have been very long.......

Some of these issues will also be influenced by the progammes available to you (where you live)as many countries have different ledgislation - for example:

The donor in the UK as in Queensland Australia, Canada, some US states (to mention but a few) enters into a contract where any developing child from the donor can access their information - including traceable data - at the age of 18. Other countries including some of those within the EU does not. The ledgislations also vary in other ways and one needs to check how this effects you in your country, in fact in some countries egg donation is deemed unlawful and therefore not available. The only option would be to go abroad, again one needs to seek professional advice to be "fully informed".

As you can see it is very coplexed, however in stead of trying to answer your question here I will write and post it on the site within the next week.

Some of the issues to consider will be:

Understand the emotional issues of the programme - the welfare of one's developing child.
Support: family - friends - professional.
Which clinic, abroad v home.
The donor: kown - ultruistic - unkown
Egg share programme v Egg donation programmes.
% chances of success.
The future - will I tell the child v will not.

Hope this helps good luck.

Its very emotional indeed and a massive choice to make.

We may have to make this decision soon.
