But of course one can assume your doctor would test whether you are allergic to the hormones before they inject in you.
It's not just allergies; you're screwing with your endocrine system. You can die. I just finished studying this unit, and I've crossed 'egg donor' off my list of potential fallbacks if I get sick of med school.
