Answer 1

IF you are taking the pill, you won't ovulate, that's how the pill keeps you from getting pregnant.  You have to be off of all medications besides the hormones they will give you to make you ovulate when they want you to ovulate.  The clinic you do your donations through will take medical history and run tests, and they will tell you what diseases they screen for.  You can get paid in the US, but they tend to be pretty stringent if they are paying you.  ADHD is not a genetic illness, meaning it doesn't tend to run in families as a rule.  There may be more then one person in a family with it, but that's usually an environmental thing more so then DNA.  Ultimately, you should talk to a doctor about something like this before making such a decision; it's not anywhere near as easy a process as it is when men donate sperm.

Answer 2

*Can someone donate eggs if there is adhd in the family? *

Yes, adhd is not generally thought of as inheritable,

* can someone donate eggs if they are taking the contraceptive pill? *

Yes, the pills have to stop though.

*I know you dont get paid in the uk, do you get paid for it in america? *

Yes, they call it donation however the donor usually gets

paid. In the U.S. generally it is about six thousand dollars, more or less. And the donor earns it. Some donors do indeed donate though. There is a lot of testing and medicine taking by the donor to regulate the donors body.

Answer 3

If you are looking to donate why do you want to know if you can get paid, then you're selling not giving.
