What do you think about egg donors?

I’ve never done it, but I think it’s a great thing to do if you’re interested. You can help advance science and the medical field, or you could help a couple have a baby.

They compensate you that much for a reason. If you want to graduate from college, you shouldn’t do it now.

The ads looking for egg donors often come not from real couples, but from an evil uncertified matchmaker who is impersonating them. This matchmaker will later match your data with couples who come to them for help. I find this practice very wrong for some reason.

Plus, you’d have to sign an agreement saying once you’ve donated your eggs you have absolutely no control over it. That means even if your intention is to give a baby to a certain couple, they could always change their mind, use the egg for a research instead, or just throw it out. Another reason I wouldn’t go through with the procedure.

I’ve done my research this time, and I’m sober.

I’m too young to actually become an egg donor. I’m 19, and apparently the most commonly preferred age is 21. I was just wondering what different views were IF i ever decided to become one. i know that you’re taken care of medically and compensated with at least 8,000 dollars. but i hear the procedure and the recovery are really painful or uncomfortable. so i want to see if anyone on here has been through it an can share their experience and how they feel about it now, if they’ve regretted it or not.

I agree with underwaterophelia- only if I did it, I’d want to know exactly where my eggs were going. I dunno why, but I’d just find it weird, wondering how many kids I had out there, or wondering what they might have been used for scientifically. My sister has polycystic ovaries, and is likely to have trouble concieving, so I’ve offered her my eggs if she ever needs them- she would rather someone she knows than someone she doesn’t.
