Best donor egg program in NYC?

What are people's thoughts about which programs are the best in terms of finding a great donor for us fairly quickly? Cornell won't take anyone under 24 years old. Is that good? And this may sound dumb, but their location is very difficult for most people to reach (it takes me 45 minutes to get ...

How and when could you tell you were pergnant?
