Has anyone dontated their eggs?

Has anyone done an egg donation? I’ve been really considering it. My fiancé and I could use the extra cash and I would love to help families conceive. I’ve done research online, but I’d like to hear from people who have had personal experiences.

The only thing that stops me from this is knowing that my kiddos would have half siblings running around. And I think about college meeting new people what if they met their sibling and didn’t know and dated or something. :sweat_smile:

I’m more inclined to use my uterus as a surrogate than donate my eggs.

It might be more useful to post this question in an egg donor/ surrogate type group. People are already off topic. :woman_facepalming:t4:

It’s hard to donate. I have been on the list for four years now and have not had a call yet

Do it before you get married, as you have to have his consent to do it. My ex refused to sign.

I’ve thought about it before I found out I have ovarian failure lol… I do still have some good eggs considering I’m on pregnancy #3 but I know the companies are picky with who they choose

I’ve done it 2x, not as easy as they say but was work it!

I’ve done it 2 times. The only difficulty was the hormones shots everyday. If you have a issue with needles or shots think about it really hard. It’s mentally challenging for that reason. I did fine the first week or 2 with the shots but after that the spots get sore or bruised and having to poke a spot that’s already tender is so freaking hard. I cried several times and I have a high pain tolerance. I never struggled with the thought of my DNA running around out there. I told myself in the beginning if I had any doubts I wouldn’t do it. I have never regretted the decision to do it. I donated 23 the first round and 1 year later 7eggs. It gives me great joy to know that I could help someone fulfill their dream to be a mother and father. Definitely think about all of the things that go along. The 23 and me thing and find my family could possibly come back to you one day. I’ve told my child that I donated and she is proud of me.
