A survey of parental attitudes toward oocyte donation

A questionnaire was sent to couples who had successfully completed oocyte donation cycles to survey their experiences and make suggestions to others considering this option. A majority of couples were successful in their first cycle, despite advanced maternal age or length of time attempting conception. A preference for non-anonymous arrangements was highlighted, despite the unknown long-term impact, and the importance of finding support was stressed. Respondents indicated no confusion about their role as parents of children conceived through oocyte donation.
