Egg Donation

[Sock Puppet2]

I'm wondering if the family receiving the egg should (wisely) request a personality test. Sheesh.

What does it say about you that you have nothing better to do with your time? Love or hate, it's still an obsession.

Hmm, nice post count, little miss time management advisor. You posted your ADD diagnosis, so obsess away. How bout a bleach and Ritalin cocktail?

it would HAVE to be a small townfor some junk like that to happen. LOL

then again, its a small world when it comes to hooking up. [off-topic]my friend went off to graduate school in California right after a breakup with her GF. fast forward a few weeks later, her roommate hooks up and brings home no other than the ex-GF, after a night of clubbing.

mustve been an awkward morning after...[/off-topic]

snirk, gee wonder who offers people bleach cocktails

Glad you've obsessed over me too! I'm so happy for you. Now it's time to learn that OCD is different from ADD. Keep stalking! I'm flattered

As much as I would like to donate, my only barrier in the side effects. I read in an article that it could cause your belly to bloat, sore and stretch. You can also experience cramps as well. Depending your physical condition, some can over-respond to the hormones injected, which could be a serious condition, and in extreme cases can result in death. 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.

I am a prime example of this. I look like one of my great-grandmothers and almost nothing like my parents. (I wasn't adopted - I'm sure of this )

Anyhow, I don't think that I personally could donate an egg. I think that I would always wonder about "my" child.

On a different note, I could see a lifetime movie/soap opera story line where a family goes through egg donation, they have a kid only to have the mom fall sick and die so the father seeks out the egg donor to ensure kid has a maternal figure in his/her life, they end up falling in love and live happily ever after...

Sorry sick day in bed and in front of the tv has gotten my imagination to run wild!

I know someone who is an egg donor, and she sometimes just plain looks pregnant. I would never tell her that, of course!

Plus she's married, and well... it's not a great idea to have sex while you're undergoing the hormone treatments considering you're ovulating more than normal and could end up with several kids of your own!

I personally would never donate my eggs, but I respect others' decisions to do so. I just think people need to realize that the procedure is MUCH more invasive than a guy donating sperm.

I have a friend who had that situation-her half sister got pregnant really young and had a boy, and the still believes his grandparents are actually his parents-his bio mother lived in the house w/ them and thinks she is his 'sister'. Its so creepy to me, but whatever!
I had actually just read a website on egg donation today. Its so amazing.

My brother and his wife used an egg donor to conceive my adorable nephew! It was such a long hard road for them to get him, that if I ever had the chance to meet the woman who donated I couldn't thank her enough! I know my brother and SIL got a general physical description of the donor as well as health history. They never saw a picture of her and never met her. They are also hoping to try again for a sibling soon!

And I would give my eggs if someone wanted them... of course they're 34 yrs old and they prefer donors under 30...
