Welcome to The World Egg Bank’s first Eggs Without Borders blog post. The purpose of this blog is to give our recipients and donors some insight into our office and a chance to request information that you’d like to know about. Additionally, this is where you can get some behind the scenes information, like interesting facts about interviews with donors or what’s going on with staff members in the office.
(Or how about the original ideas for the blog name? Just Add Sperm; Sunny Side Up; The Fourth Party; Triggershot Blog; HCG with TWEB; Hormones with Heart; Hormones, Hearts, and Hope; Hormones for Hope; The Donor Download; Eggs for Everybody; No Egg Puns, Please; Sunny Side Up Screening; Syncing Cycles; Cycle Sisters; The Mother Hen; and Mother Henning Donors. There was an office consensus for “Eggs Without Borderss” to be signed by “The Mother Hen,” but we would love to hear your thoughts!)
We have some exciting things going on around here—in the past six months, we have engaged a new Scientific Advisor, Dr. Masashige Kuwayama, and a new Scientific Director, Dr. Kimball Pomeroy. These IVF tenured additions will be making The World Egg Bank an even more amazing company to work with, because we are able to offer you that much more expertise and oversight.
We are particularly excited about a recent transition to Dr. Kuwayama’s Cryotec Method, which consistently provides 100% oocyte warming survival rates when the protocol is followed. The World Egg Bank currently maintains an 87% oocyte warming survival rate, but in an effort to continue to set the standards for the industry and to provide the best patient outcomes possible, The World Egg Bank has adopted this new, cutting-edge technology.
Feel free to leave comments!
Oxford commas forever,
The Mother Hen
