Lesbian IVF: compatibility, pregnancy and concerns about the sperm donor

LilyandMegan · 2016-01-28 09:20:05 UTC

Hello, This is Lily & Megan, we are a same-sex couple willing to undergo lesbian IVF to become mothers :) We've heard that not all oocytes are compatible with every woman in the world, I mean, that perhaps the eggs from my partner are incompatible with my body. Is this true? We are both 27 years old, BTW. Which one is the most indicated to bear the pregnancy? And also we are concerned about the man who is going to be our donor, mainly about his ethnicity and physical appearance. We are both blonde, and of course we'd love our baby to take after us, or at least one of us. Could we choose our donor? We wouldn't mind it if he's a a known donor. Thanks, Regards
