Recent news outlets have picked up what many people didn’t realize — Marcia Cross, starlet of Desperate Housewives, did not conceive her twins in 2007 via IVF. Instead, she chose to treat her fertility issues by using an egg donor.
Cross, like many post-40 women, did not have enough (if any) viable eggs of her own to even consider IVF. Thus, she and her husband, stockbroker Tom Mahoney, turned to egg donation.
Stories like this emphasize just how many different choices there are for couples of all ages who struggle with infertility. If you’re interested in learning more about choosing (or becoming) an egg donor, visit our site today.

In a move that has shocked many people around the world, United Kingdom based fertility specialists are raffling off a human egg as part of a “first prize”.
To be completely fair, there isn’t exactly one particular ”egg” that’s being raffled off. Instead, the winning female will be able to select a donor egg type based on her desires (e.g., the donor’s profession, appearance, ethnicity) and, in the bargain, receive a free round of IVF.
Still, it’s raising eyebrows and causing many discussions about the ethics (but not the legality, since it is legal due to the way the promotion has been handled) behind the “egg raffle”.
We’d like to hear your opinion on the matter:
- Do you believe this is outrageous or simply a unique way of getting more couples to consider IVF as an option to have a child?

 Egg donation is a very personal choice many individuals and couples make when seeking assistance in conceiving a child. Because every egg donor program varies from clinic to clinic, it’s important to make certain that yours gives you the most options.
What are some of the options you’ll want to investigate? Consider these, for starters:
- Diversified Egg Donor Listing. You deserve as many options as you need, so it’s critical to pick an egg donor program that offers you choices such as the ethnic diversity of the egg donor (including African-American, Jewish heritage, etc.)
- Experienced Medical Team. Believe it or not, all reproductive science specialists are not quite as “specialized” as you might think. Thus, it’s critical to find a team that has plenty of expertise in this area.
- Young Egg Donors. Many clinics will allow donors up to 35+; at RSI, we consider age 32 the “cap” for our egg donors.
- Extensive Egg Donor Profiles. You should be able to find out quite a bit about your egg donor at your reproductive science clinic. If you feel you’re not getting enough information, it’s probably an indication that you’re at the wrong place.
- No Waiting List. Better clinics have no egg donor waiting list. That means you have fewer delays in reaching your goal of a healthy baby.
- Couples/Individuals Choose Egg Donor. You should be able to choose the egg donor you prefer, and RSI supports that wish. However, it’s important to note that some clinics will want to choose for you.
- Competitive Price. As always, you need to work with a reproductive science specialist who understands that fertility treatments should be priced competitively.
