Lucina Egg Bank Is The Nation's Leading Egg Donor Program

My husband and I started trying for a baby one year after we got married. Initially, we thought it would conceive within a couple of months. But after a year passed and we still haven't had our baby, we visiteda clinic and began the fertility testing. The results didn't provide any clue as to why we couldn't get pregnant. Wefirst decided to try intrauterine insemination (IUI). After four unsuccessful IUI cycles, we proceeded to IVF. We completed two rounds of IVF, both unsuccessful.

After 3 years of unsuccessful tries, it was clear we needed to have things checked out.…Read More

I got married when I about to clock 40 and had suffered from endometriosis, tubal problems, and fibroids. Not a great start! However, we began our family-building journey with much enthusiasm, believing "a little assistance" would bring us the child we so much desire.I had always dreamed of being a mother ever since I was a little kid, babysitting and carryingother people's children, waiting for the time when I would get pregnant and havemy own baby."

My first egg retrieval yielded 4 eggs, and 2 of them were fertilized…Read More
