Becoming an egg donor?

Question

I was thinking of being an egg donor for a couple but I'm not too sure if I should. I already have 2 kids I'm 25 and I don't want to have any more. I would like to help out another couple but I'm not to sure about it. What do you guys think about egg donations?

Answer 1

Its so hard these days to find an egg donor. You are fantastic for considering this. It involves so much trust from the couple and must be so rewarding for the donor to see how happy she would make the two parents!

I will be easier for you since you alredy had 2 kids. You will know what to expect and the labour should be a lot easier.

However this is your decision to make. Remember it is THEIR child you'd be carrying, so you'd have to try and stay partial to their decisions regarding the child. But it's YOUR body that will be going through this. You are so brave. Good luck in making this difficult descision.

Answer 2

I think if that is something you want to do then do it, i have nothing against it. I would like to do the same.

You can get paid well for this.

Only if the chicken agrees

Answer 4

it's a very noble thing to do, you just have to keep in mind all the factors of what you need to go through, including the egg retrieval procedure, you can learn more about that here:

good luck!

Answer 5

I think it is a noble and worthwhile cause if

A) It truly doesn't bother you to know that there are biological children of yours "out there" that you will never know.

B) You are willing to go through a VERY rigorous, invasive, and time consuming process to have your eggs harvested.  You will have to give yourself daily injections for several weeks.  There are risks involved to your health.

Answer 6

If you're unsure then I would strongly advise not doing it.  It's not something you can contract to do and then change your mind and even if you could, I'm sure you wouldn't want to disappoint a couple who badly want a child.  And if you know the couple, would you be able to handle seeing the child and placing her as the mother and not yourself?

I was a surrogant and had no second thoughts but it wasn't my eggs. I personally couldn't donate my eggs even after meeting the couple. To me it seemed like a form of adoption.  Some women have no problems donating their eggs and I think very highly of them.  

You need to figure out whether you see your eggs as cells that can help give a beautiful gift or if you see your eggs as more then cells or  your responsibility.
