My Experience as an egg donor...
Well at first I was a bit hesitant on the whole idea of giving apart of me away. It's a strange thought to know that there could possibly be another half of you out there, however as I started to process what this meant and how I could change the life of someone else I started to readjust my attitude toward the whole thing.
The process is a humbling one. What would I do if I were in their shoes? I know I would be devastated to say the least.
My first visit to the clinic was a heartsore reality of how many couples there are struggling to get the one and only thing they want more than anything elseā¦a beautiful baby. How unfair is that? They could give these children the most loving homes, they are so wanted. It was in actual fact one of the easiest things I have ever done and I am so happy I did.
Every egg donor has their own personal reasons as to why they are willing to give their eggs to a deserving couple. My own is a bit complicated but it's what I wanted and needed to do this. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I don't know my recipient but I think of her often and hope with all my heart that the end result is a positive one.
The whole thing was so easy. From start to finish, painless, exciting and a journey. The doctors, nurses and baby2mom are amazing.
Thank you for the opportunity to change a life and hopefully help bring one into this world.
