I first heard Genevieve on a podcast and I was very impressed by her clear vision and innovative ideas. My partner and I had been trying to get pregnant for 5 years before going through 5 unsuccessful rounds of IVF leaving us despondent and totally shattered. We tried looking into adoption and were disappointed with how hard that is while living in Australia.
We knew our only solution was to get an egg donor, however finding an egg donor is very hard in Australia, you are left on your own devices and it can take years before you meet someone.
I got in touch with Genevieve through the email on the Traveling Donors website. She responded to me immediately. Before starting this journey I was very hesitant, had lots of questions and wanted to speak to other Australian families who had tried this route. Genevieve handholded me through every doubt I had and I had a chance to connect with other happy and successful families in Australia.
The wide range of egg donor selection right here in Australia meant we didn't need to travel overseas with covid lurking in the corner. We chose a lovely woman as our egg donor and got a chance to interact with her before the process began. The egg collection journey went very smoothly with a fertility clinic recommended by Gen. We got 6 amazing embryos. She continued to help me with resources and information both before and after egg collection.
Traveling Donors and Gen are a professional, kind, empathetic, solution oriented and knowledgeable team. I can never thank them and our donor enough to help us with our dreams. If you get a chance to work with them consider yourself very lucky as you are in good hands.
Sarangi's Story
We were recommended to the Traveling Donors after trying IVF with our own eggs 12 times and a local donor all of which did not work. We were emotionally drained, hesitant and overwhelmed with starting a new process. From day one Genevieve and the team made us feel so incredibly welcomed, special and supported. They took care of everything and put our mind at ease from the start and above all gave us hope and guidance.
The process of choosing our donor seemed daunting however the team helped us the whole way along and kept us well informed. We wanted to use a donor who had proven success as we had had so many disappointments which the team helped us find. The screening process was easy and was reassuring that the Traveling Donor Team knew so much about their donors.
Nothing was too much trouble and no question went unanswered even late at night or on weekends. We felt supported and at times when we felt a little nervus or overwhelmed the team were there to reassure us and help us along the way.
The external team they use such as counseling and the transport team were again kind, caring and extremely supportive. We had some issues getting my partner's sperm out of the country which was due to the clinic we were using the team bent over backwards to get this sorted for us and made an extremely stressful period ok. The team we used in Australia that Traveling Donors recommended were just as amazing even though we were in different states we always had open communication and the process was easy.
When it came time for our donor to travel the team again went with her and helped her through her process and kept us up to date with updates, photos and made the whole experience quite special.
We fell pregnant from our first transfer and still have a journey to go however I can not recommend the traveling donors enough the whole process was handled so well and the team took a lot of the stress and anxiousness away, they truly make you feel supported, cared for and they are there every step of the way offering encouragement and advice, my only regret is that I did not find out about them sooner. We will be forever grateful to the Traveling donor team for making the experience so wonderful and helping us reach our dream of having a baby without them this would never have happened
