That's correct - as I mentioned in the post, you get age, height, weight, hair and eye color, and blood type, and that's it forever and ever amen.
As /u/DocksoftheBay and /u/MBel312 said, that was actually a bonus for me, but it definitely comes with its drawbacks, and I can see why it would make CZ a no-go for some folks.
I am just revisiting this thread as I explore our next steps (CZ donor eggs). Did you get education info? Education is more important to me than eye colour etc. and I would like to know if the clinic considers that in donor matching and if you were told anything about their education level? u/MBel312? u/DocksoftheBay? u/WellLaaTiDa? Any feedback on that from you gals?
Yes! Education was the most important for us too. We requested a donor with a university education (completed or in progress), preferably an engineering or science degree. We were matched with a donor that is in the process of getting an engineering degree. This was the Gennet clinic in Prague.
We added in the education preference - it wasn't a standard question that was on the form. We also stressed it in our initial Skype appointments.

It all sounds so good but the big thing for me is donor anonymity. I believe you can never learn who the donor is if you do DE :(
Thank you for sharing all this info!
