There are lots of things to think about aren't there, but not enough time necessarily .

If you don't mind me asking, how old is your other donor? If they are young then there is less time pressure for you as it depends mainly on the donor egg age, not the IP (intended parent). Although I understand your donor may not be able to wait around and may have plans of their own to make.

I can understand there are things to work through in relation to a non-relative donor, however, it is amazing how far our thinking can come when faced with the realities and our desire to have a child. I was never going to do IVF and here I am many cycles later and now with an egg donor. Family can be defined in so many ways.

ETA: I know a woman who wasn't quite ready to give up on her own, but did a donor cycle and froze all embryos and then waited on the outcome of her own last cycle. She is now pg through the frozen donor assisted embryos on her first try, after many many tries on her own.
