WHAT:    OHSU Fertility Consultants will host a free seminar on how to achieve the goal of becoming parents through egg donation.

"While egg donation is rarely a couple's first choice, it is a viable alternative family-building option for many women and carries the highest pregnancy success rate of the assisted reproductive technologies.” said Paula Amato, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology (reproductive endocrinology and fertility) in the OHSU School of Medicine and member of the OHSU Center for Women’s Health.

Amato and other physicians, nurses, counselors and staff who specialize in reproductive medicine will address indication for egg donation, how egg donors are screened, the matching process, psychological issues, success rates, and costs.

WHEN:    Tuesday, May 25, 2010, from 6 to 8 p.m.

WHERE:    OHSU Center for Health & Healing, 3303 S.W. Bond Ave., Portland, OR
