Gift of Life: Sister Donates Eggs

At Shady Grove Fertility there is no “typical patient.” Everyone comes in with their own history and diagnosis – but what they all share is the desire to start or grow their family. Juliet recently shared her journey with the Frederick News-Post.

After several years of trying to conceive with her husband, Lester, the couple decided to turn to Shady Grove Fertility in Frederick. They used donor egg to with no success when her sister, Jen, who had been estranged after a turbulent childhood, came back into their lives with an offer they couldn’t refuse. Jen volunteered her own eggs.

Melissa A. Esposito, MD explains, “While egg donation between known parties is becoming more common, these donations make up only 10% of all egg donations. Most known donations are between friends, not family members.”
