Tuesday 16th May 2023 – 8pm (BST)
This webinar focuses on the experiences, questions and fears held by those who need to use both a donated egg and sperm to conceive, whether that be through double donation or embryo donation. We explore what both of these routes are, the differences and also the common questions that those on this path may have such as, what needs to be considered where there is no genetic link to either raising parents? How might this be considered in telling their story? What challenges may be faced in the future? And how can we support both ourselves and our children?
I am joined by experienced fertility counsellor Gerry McCluskey and two parents, one via double donation, and one via embryo donation, who share their personal experience too.
