Frozen eggs may be an untapped source of donor eggs. People with frozen eggs report a lack of awareness of need for donor eggs, poor understanding of the implications of donation, inadequate support from clinics & no time to consider options. Work is needed to enable donation

Replying to @PET_BioNews
Catherine also said the regulatory framework is a barrier along with miss information about the physical affects of donation. Stephen added 'and we don't pay'! Alan says egg freezing is the place to go as very few are going to be used #PETdonor
