Egg Donation Agency, Cincinnati Ohio

"I always wanted to be a mom; people always tell me that I will be a good mom, even strangers. But years of infertility shattered that dream. Years went by; I and my husband are not getting any younger. I told myself one day, if I can’t have my own children, perhaps I can help someone to complete that circle. That is when I found Compassionate Beginnings. Their professionalism helped and guided me went through the donor’s process. I have an opportunity to learn some amazing life lessons and work with some very kind and professional medical staffs.

The procedure was a success, and I was really happy for my recipient couple. Against my culture and tradition, I was able to help someone in this world to complete a circle of love and that makes me feel fulfilled. Six months later, we have looked into other options of treating our infertility. The compensation from the donor program definitely played an important role. We have tried 7 months of treatment, and I am very proud to announce that I am now 2 months pregnant. I cannot wait to hold my baby in my arm and love him/her with my whole heart. There is a saying, when God closes the door, he always opens a window." YL

"I met Holly and Celia just as I was about to give up on the egg donation process. I’d been to a “cattle-call” style orientation session at a local fertility center, and quickly discovered that there is something worse than feeling like a number instead of a name: and that is feeling like a set of ovaries rather than a person! Holly and Celia provide a service much more valuable than simply coordinating appointments; they take the “anonymous” out of the role of “anonymous egg donor.” They took the time to get to know me as a person, which made me so much more confident in trusting them to find a perfect match for my eggs. At every step along this journey they were there with guidance and support, not only calling to check on how my cycle was progressing, but also to see how things were going with my family, school and home. They even asked about and knew the names of my dogs!

I completed three cycles with Holly and Celia and have not a single regret. The experience of sharing a bond with a woman you will never meet or know is profound, and the friendship you will develop with Holly and Celia along the way will only enhance that journey. I am now pregnant with my first child, and am only now grasping what a gift it really is. If you feel that this process might be right for you, I encourage you to sit down and have a chat with the incomparable women of Compassionate Beginnings!

Sincerely," --- CS

"Compassionate Beginnings™ has been fantastic throughout my entire donation process! They took great care to ensure that no single aspect of the donation became overwhelming for me. Initially, there is a great deal of screening and testing, but this was always broken up into short, manageable segments and they were wonderful about arranging it within my sometimes hectic and unpredictable schedule. The staff at the fertility center were always polite, no matter what hour I called with questions about medications or any other issue that I might think of. What really struck me as setting them apart though, was the care shown to me after my donations were complete. Each time, not just the physicians involved but Celia and Holly themselves checked in regularly to ensure that I was healthy and experiencing no adverse effects from the procedure, including waiting during the procedure itself so that they could personally thank me for its completion after I had recovered. Overall, they have been a wonderful company to work with. I plan on continuing to donate and I highly recommend them to anyone interested." --- JS

"Going into the donation process, I had so many questions! For every question I had, Celia and Holly were able to adequately and promptly answer my questions and ease any concerns or fears I had. My egg donation was such a unique and special experience because I helped a family in such a profound way! Celia and Holly really made me feel special and cared for from beginning to end...and even after! Working with Compassionate Beginnings™ was a gentle and memorable experience. I was very impressed with the professionalism and genuine character of Holly and Celia and would recommend them to everyone." --- AC

"When my husband and I began researching our fertility options, we weren't sure that using an egg donor was for us. It seemed so complicated and intimidating. After hearing our odds for IVF, we knew the chances of having our family dream come true was much greater using the donor process. The wait time using our clinic was pretty long and, after years of trying on our own without success, we wanted to start our family as soon as possible. We also wanted to have several choices in the donor selection process. It wasn't until a friend recommended Compassionate Beginnings™ that we made our decision to go that route. Celia and Holly put us at ease and answered our questions about selecting a donor. While looking at the profiles, we saw several good fits for us. Throughout the process, Holly and Celia have been prompt in responding to me, offered great support and advice, and made the entire process go smoothly. I would never recommend going through the process without an ally like Compassionate Beginnings™. They exemplify their name -- they are so compassionate and we are filled with hope about this new beginning of our family. I can't thank them enough for helping us to make this dream come true." --- EK

"My journey towards pregnancy in my early forties was nothing but one disappointment after another, until I made my first call to Compassionate Beginnings™. I knew after my first conversation with Holly that help and support was finally on its way. I spoke with other services, but Holly and Celia were the warmest and most understanding, and really went out of their way to help. After one last round of fertility meds for my borderline　FSH level, which proved to be another letdown, we decided to have Compassionate Beginnings™ help us find a donor. Within a month they found a perfect match for us, a perfect match indeed. I write this as my twins are soundly sleeping, exactly one year after we discovered that the embryo(s!) transfer was successful.　I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service and support provided by Compassionate Beginnings™. Thank you Holly and Celia!" --- Private
