Egg Donation

I think it also might be important to see pics of the donar, so in the rare case your dontation-creation brings home his potential mother in law, you can say ummm...no.

(Hey, it's happened that biological brothers/sisters have hooked up not knowing.)

One of the girls in my neighborhood was raised by her grandparents and told they were her parents - her "sister" was her mother. They ended up having to tell her because her bio father had a boy that was around her age and they were terrified of them hooking up (it's a SMALL town).

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?

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 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]

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've thought about donating my eggs. I guess I would be in the minority, I wouldn't want to meet the prospective parents or the child in the future. If I formed any time of relationship or attachment it would just be too hard for me. I'd want to be one of those completely anonymous donors. If the couple wanted to send me a letter saying "thank you" I would insist it go through the clinic with no last names (because then it would be too easy to try to "find them" and I again, wouldn't want to "tempt" myself).

I just feel that if I donate it has to be on those terms. I was born with all th eggs I'll ever have and I won't use half of them. Maybe I can let someone else have one to have a child. I'm not sure though. Mainly because I wouldn't want something to cause me not to be able to have children of my own in the future.

LMAO. Seriously too funny! Soap Opera story waiting to happen! I can see it now... "On the next (insert soap opera name)...." LOL.

So, 4 years later, I signed my donor contract last night...

I do have to provide them with pics which the receiving couple would see. If I get picked, I would also have to do a psych evaluation, personality test, and the most comprehensive medical and genetic tests known to man.

Finding out three years ago that I was conceived using IVF makes me want to do this even more.

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...
