I wanna be an egg donor. But i am scared, i dont know if that will effect my chances of giving birth.??


Question: i am a college student. i got loans i need to pay off, egg donor seems like a quick solution.
Answers: I have donated my eggs twice and am helping a third couple have their baby right now. It has been agreat experiance each time and knowing there is a happy family out there that I helped create is a great feeling.

But you need better reasons for donating that I need to pay off my student loans . Neither is it a quick solution . It is a process that takes 6-12 weeks of pills, shots and monitoring visits and it involves minor surgery. not to mention the time it can take just getting matched with the right couple.

I'll admit the money I received for my cycles helped my family a lot but you'll need to search your heart before doing something like this. There can be serious emotional fall out later if you're not ready for it. Research, know what is involved, and make sure you can totally let go of the potential child you are giving.

Great resourses for any info on egg donation are http://www.surromomsonline.com and http://www.greateggs.com

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
A woman is born with enough ova to populate a small city. Generally, only one per month will mature and be released by your ovaries, and only an ovum that has been released can be fertilized. Fraternal twins, though, as the result of the release and fertilization of two mature ova at about the same time.

If you want to be an egg donor, and you are accepted as such, you will likely be given hormone injections that will help a number of ova to mature and be released at one time. These would be harvested through your abdominal wall.

So, from that standpoint, it's unlikely that being an egg donor would impact your chances of conception and pregnancy in the future.

This is something that can have considerable long-term implications, although they likely won't affect you directly. However, if you are a successful donor, you will have other biological children, and you won't know who they are or where they are. This is something to think about, but it's also something that only can decide for yourself.

As to the medical side of this, I'd suggest that you go to your campus health clinic, as a starting place, and ask to talk with someone about this. At the very least, they can suggest somewhere for you to get more information.
They probably wont let you if you havent had kids yourself yet in case you make a claim on the babies once they are born.
Unlike us mens, you have already produced all of the eggs that your body will. You release them with each cycle until there is no more. Donating eggs is no more detrimental to your ability to procreate than each egg that leaves your body every 28 days or so.

Now this is all assuming there are no complications to the harvesting procedure which is relatively safe.
You get a complete physical, pelvic, everything,You will out a VERY detailed medical form with questioms about EVERYTHING about yours and your family's physical and mental health.You have to take strong horomones to build up eggs.They have side effects, weight gain etc. Then you go to the donor faciliity, you are placed in a very uncomfortable postion, on your back with your legs higher than your head and bent. A catheter is placed in your bladder, and a needle about 2 feet long is used to with draw the eggs.
