Gabriella,
I have been trying to find out the same thing from the other end of the equation - we have already been using donor sperm for 2 years and it looks like I may have to go to donor eggs too so I thought it would make more sense to find out about donor embryos. I inquired at several of the IVF booths at the most recent AIA seminar last month, but most people looked at me like I had two heads. I can't believe more people aren't interested in this from both sides (donors and receivers). My current clinic did say they sometimes offer this, but it depends on availability (very limited). I assume what they have is usually limited to the results of their in-house IVF cycles, but you could try them. It's called O.F.R.M. (Offices for Fertility and Reproductive Management - ). I myself would be interested if you would like to contact me directly. I wish more couples were willing to donate the embryos they will never use but I can understand it's probably a difficult emotional decision for most people. Thanks for being one of the unusual ones and lots of luck with your twins!
