Question

can i donate an egg to my friend?

who pays everything?

.if i donate one of my eggs how is the doctor going to take it out from me?

if i donate the egg am i gunna be able to have kids in the future?

..oh ..if i donate the egg that means is 50% my baby?

Answer 1

I knew someone who did this. Yes the baby would be 50% yours. Thats the tricky part about doing this for a friend. Don't do this unless you are POSITIVE you can handle the emotional part of it. It could ruin your friendship.  I think it's very nice of you to want to help your friend, but in I don't think it's a good idea.

Answer 2

have you thought about carry her baby for her. Her egg her hubby sperm and you carry the baby. Lots of test have to be done to make sure you all match up.But its an option.

Either way to get pregnant or take eggs

you go on shots to get your cycles the same

at that time when your fertile they take more then one egg!

by using an ultra sound they send a tube up the vag. in to the cervix and to the ovaries and take out multiple. At that point they pass the test tubes off to the lab to make sure they have enough eggs. then your done at that point.

If your going to carry she does all the above, and with hubby sperm sample the fertilize a couple eggs and implant 3-4 depends on how you all feel. And you hope that one will take and some times two takes.

It is very expensive, and alot of hard work and some pain. Not only do you have to be physically well yo also have to be mentally and they do put you through a round of test to see.

If you dont want to use her eggs, and use your eggs with hubby sperm then sign some legal papers on your own with a lawyer and do the deed when your fertile

if your on a 28day cycle baby making days 12-16

start taking vitamins drinking lots of water and rest. no more drinking prepare your body

or do it the other way kind of more getto or called turkey basting...hubby spunk and then in to a turkey baster then in to you on your good days like i said above.

Answer 3

Under no circumstances should you donate an egg. Egg/sperm/embryo donation is the intentional creation of adoptees. This is sick and disgusting and should be illegal.

Answer 4

It does involve surgery as well as a series of injections which will stimulate your ovaries and increase egg production.  A bit of warning, this stimulation has had links to ovarian cancer later on.

And the fact is that the baby will be genetically your child and it will be 50% yours.

Answer 5

Yes you can donate your eggs. From what I have read you would have to take some hormones in order to harvest several eggs.  Then they would be fertilized outside the body and place the embryo(s) in your friend, if she is going to be the one to carry the baby.

The child would be biological half yours, but donating an egg would mean you surrender your rights to the child, the same way with sperm donation. Also your friend would be the birthmother and therefore the legal mother.  

It would not affect your ability to have children for yourself later on.

My brother and his wife used a donated egg but not from a woman they knew they meet her but other then that they didn’t know her.  Could you handle this because though this child would be yours biological it would be your friend and her husband raising the child as their own.

Answer 6

well the baby will be 50% yours. That's true. Doctor will do a small operation to get it out. The friend should pay for all expenses.  This small operation will not do any harm to you. You can have babies in your future.

Answer 7

You would first go on an IVF cycle to stimulate your eggs - small but rather intrusive procedures done at the Dr's office.  First you would take hormones to induce egg production and then you would have the egg retrvieval process. Embryos would then be created using your eggs and your friends husbands sperm.  A few of these embryos would be implanted in to your friend in the hope tha at least one will implant and become a full term pregnancy.  You would need to lose the thought of the baby being 'half yours' right away, as although it biologically would be, you could not think of it as this as it would be unhealthy for everyone involved. Your friend would carry the baby and want to think of it as HERS and her husbands.

All costs should be met by your friend and her husband, as this is a very valuable gift you would be offering them.  The medical side of this would probably cost around $5000 per cycle, and it could take up to 3 cycles to acheive pregnancy.  Before this goes ahead your friend should take tests to make sure it is her with the fertility problem and not her husband, and also that she is deemed fit enough to carry a baby.

This is a very big deal, so don't go in to anything like this lightly.

Answer 8

Hi,

Although many people are opposed to creating humans in this manner, I know you are only trying to be nice by trying to help your friend.

I just want to mention something you may or not have thought about yet. If you do go through with this, your friend will be the child's LEGAL parent & raise him/her; however, YOU will be the child's BIOLOGICAL parent as he/she will be receiving the entire maternal DNA from you.

As such, this brings up a huge ethical concern, and one that I hope you have discussed, or will discuss with the future child's prospective parents: All of you are morally obligated to disclose to the child that the legal mother is not the biological mother, the same as you would do for an adopted child. To have a child believe anything else other than the full truth, would be unthinkably cruel and wrong and a huge disservice to the child and his sense of self.

If you give somebody one of your kidneys, or some of your hair, skin, or some other part of your body, that is only between the 2 of you. If you donate genetic material, it now involves an entirely new human being and he has rights to the knowledge and details of his origins.

I believe that with the advancement of technology, comes opportunities for people to do things that were never physically possible before, and the legal aspects may not have caught up to the ethical aspects of such situations yet. It creates new responsibilities that go with it. You would be morally obligated to share your family history, medical data, everything that an adopted child should receive. The more, the better.

It is every human's right to know who they are and where they came from. Let me explain what situations need clarification to offspring and which do not. If a couple uses a specific sexual position to conceive, that's not relevant to the future child. If IVF is used, that also need not be disclosed to the offspring because it does not affect the biological makeup of the person being created. On the other hand, once you start changing the DNA of the person, they have every right to know that. It is morally wrong to mislead any child into believing they have different parentage than they really do. That information belongs to the child himself and his descendants.

Why would a parent do that? Maybe the parents could have unresolved issues relating to their inability to have their own children. Maybe they wish to spare what they perceive to be the child's feelings about being born to people other than the ones he/she believes to be their parents. While the reasons may be understandable on the surface, it would still be wrong. It only offers an illusion of kindness. That person has a right to their true heritage, medical history, ethnicity, etc. no matter what it is.  The reality is, like adoptees, he will be devastated if the very people he has trusted all his life have lied to him. What might not seem important to disinterested people is huge if it happens to you! Trust me; they will not easily get over something like that. Please think of the child's feelings, rights, & happiness first.

This will increasingly become an issue of the future as more & more of these situations arise, & as the children of these conceptions grow up and voice their thoughts as the adoptees of previous decades have done. Right now, egg & sperm donor children do not have advocates speaking up on their behalf yet. I predict we will be hearing from them in the years to come, and most will not be happy if it's not handled right.

Please think this through and do what is right, even if that means going above what the law requires of you at this time.

Just some things to think about.  Thank you.

Answer 9

OK, FROM WHAT I KNOW AFTER HAVING INVITRO MY EGGS WERE REMOVED WITH A NEEDLE. THEY PUNCTURED MY UTERUS WITH ANEEDLE AND DREW OUT THE EGGS AND PLACED THEM IN A DISH THAT WAS LATER FERTILIZED.  BUT ALL THIS WAS DONE AFTER TAKING FERTILITY SHOTS.  YES, THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON YOU COULDNT HAVE KIDS LATER ON.  YOU PRODUCE EGGS EVERY MONTH.  AND YES, THIS WILL BE HALF YOUR BABY, AND COULD TAKE ON YOUR CHARATERISTICS AND ACTIONS.

Answer 10

im not sure im a guy and only 13 sorry lady but u should check out google is easy to find things there just put wat u wanna kno and can i get best answer

Answer 11

if she wants to have a test tube baby you can donate an egg or two, but you cant put your egg in her. Your friend should pay for everything, you shouldnt pay a dime some people charge money for eggs. i dont know how the doctor takes the egg out but it should be pretty painless and easy. everytime you have a period you lose thousands, if not more, eggs, so you can get pregnant of one of the other ones. with your egg the baby will draw from your gene pool and have no blood connection to your friend. i dont think the baby is legally yours at all.
