Spending hours researching donor conception, endlessly googling and scrolling social media, searching for answers?
Stuck in decision-making paralysis, wondering if donor conception is the right path for you?

Feeling alone, like no one around you truly understands the emotions this path can bring?
Imagine if you could…
Have expert guidance at your fingertips, from psychologists and professionals who understand your family.
Feel prepared for the conversations ahead, with your child and with the people around you.
Connect with others who have walked this path and truly get it, any time you need them.
For every family, at every stage
Many of our members arrive here while considering or pursuing egg, sperm, embryo or double donation, often after a diagnosis or fertility treatment that did not go the way they hoped. Our community includes and holds support for heterosexual couples, solo parents by choice, and LGBTQ+ families.
Whether you are still making the decision, going through treatment, pregnant, or parenting a donor-conceived child of any age, you will find people here at the same stage as you, alongside those a few steps ahead.

Hi, I am Becky
I am mum to three daughters, all thanks to egg donation, following a diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at 28 and five rounds of IVF with my own eggs.
When I was making the decision to use a donor, the emotional support I needed simply did not exist. Paths to Parenthub is everything I wish I had been able to find back then, and everything I am still learning from now, as a parent.
