The Questions You Might Not Think to Ask: Talking to Egg and Sperm Banks
Episode 4
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
In this episode of the Paths to Parenthub podcast, Hayley and Becky sit down to explore the questions they believe can be helpful for intended parents to ask their egg or sperm bank, or fertility clinic, when considering donor conception.Rather than focusing on the usual “how to choose a donor” conversation, this episode looks at some of the less obvious questions that can shape long term experiences for families. Drawing on their many years of working in this space, and the insight gained from supporting parents, donors and donor conceived people, Hayley and Becky reflect on what they have learned along the way, and how perspectives often change over time.This episode is not intended as a definitive or “must ask” checklist. Instead, it offers a gentle introduction to topics and considerations that may help you feel more informed and confident as you make decisions that are right for your family.The conversation follows on from Becky and Hayley’s recent visit to Cyprus to OVACY Egg Bank, who are also supporting Season 4 of the podcast, and includes reflections inspired by what they saw and discussed during their time there.
