Egg Donation Posted: 01-03-08 21:09pm
I am interested in the possibility of
donation of my eggs, but I am just a
little unsure... I am a perfect canidate
for it. However I would like to maybe
speak to someone who has done this
procedure before. I think not only is it
rewarding but its very helpful... Please
let me know.
Thanks so much guys

Do you already have children?
I have a very close friend that did it a
few months ago, and the lady that she
donated the egg to is pregnant. She said
that it was very rewarding for her. She
said it was kinda painful and had to take
some fertility meds before hand.
I hope you find some good information on
it.

Yes I have a beautiful 8 month old... I
think its a very rewarding thing. I am
just not 100% comfortable knowing I have
offspring out there somewhere... Thats the
only thing I think holding me back. Once I
can get past that selfish thought then I
should be all set.

I asked my friend if she had a hard time
with that thought, and she said at first
she did, but she got over it pretty quick.
She said she thought of it like donating
blood and that she wouldn't mind about
that, so why mind about the egg donation.
I donated my eggs for my aunt because she
was having a hard time conceiving on her
own. It definitely was an emotional roller
coaster. I had to give myself injections
(sometimes 2) everyday, you have to be
monitored almost everyday and the
procedure itself was painful. My aunt now
has a beautiful baby girl.....she looks
just like me and my daughter. I love that
little baby so much and I am her
god-mother but sometimes it is hard not to
think that biologically she is a part of
me. When I see my daughter and her
together sometimes I think "wow they are
really sisters instead of cousins". I know
that I shouldn't think of it that way but
I am only human and it is hard not to. I
am happy that I did it but I am not sure
if I would be able to do it for a
stranger, after what I know about the
process now.
