One doesn’t truly know the struggle of infertility until they witness a loved one suffer from it.  For 11 long years, my aunt battled with infertility. Becoming an egg donor came naturally to me, the ability to put an end to someone’s suffering and be a glimpse of hope for them is the greatest feeling in the world.

With the right team behind you, the road to retrieval is a walk in the park.  Bot the agency and the doctor are at your beckon call, you are never alone. the right team behind you, the road to the retrieval is a walk in the park. Both the agency and the doctor are at your beckon call, you’re never alone. It can be tough as an egg donor because you’re on medication, emotions going wild (think PMS), and following guidelines set by the clinic, taking time off from work/school for your appointments are all things you need to expect.
