Egg Donation

[cutie_cat_4ever]

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 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.
