Toni,

Unfortunately, my egg donor was anonymous. I would have liked to keep in touch with her and send pictures/updates at least once a year. I think many others would feel the same way, so I don't think it is unusual. Congratulations and best of luck on your upcoming retrieval! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
