Depending on where you live, the HFEA can give you lots of information about hospitals that will do it for you.

I'm at the Lister and was going to do an egg share cycle - there are a ton of blood tests that you need to do before hand as well as counselling and obviously they make you aware that any child that is born as a result of the egg share can come find you in 18 years time!

You would go through the typical IVF programme depending on how you responded so it could be BCP to start followed by down regulating with either injectibles or sniffing drugs, then 2 weeks worth of stimms and EC - my clinic does this under GA although some use sedation or nothing at all.

The IVF cycle itself is very hard going and very stressful, i had no clue how emotionally draining it was due to the influx of hormones...!!

Good luck xx
