Egg Donation
Has anyone here ever done it?
Since I got my tubes tied (two kids is plenty, thank you), and my eggs are just sitting there, unusable, I'm considering it. My OB said it was possible to donate, even with my tubes tied. I've read that the hormones they give you can cause cancer, but I've also read other studies that says those hormones aren't any riskier then birth control.
The other concern I've read about is the psychological concern: Can you handle the fact that you'll have "other children" out there that you'll never meet. Although, after being pregnant twice, and not wanting to go through that ever again, I don't think it would be that big of deal to me, since I wouldn't be the one carrying the egg for 9 months. Also, I like the idea of giving the gift of a baby to a couple who otherwise couldn't have one.
