I considered it and would do it. I wound up getting pregnant using a frozen sperm donor due to male factor infertility. After my babies are born I will become an egg donor. You don't realize what a special gift you are giving a family until you are in the shoes of receiving the gift of a baby.

Draw backs to egg sharing...if you don't produce very many eggs, you don't get very many for yourself. I've heard of women having 24 eggs harvested and only 15 fertilizing and only 3 making it to grade a blasts. That is not everyone though.

I done it back in April. I got my bfp but sadly had an early miscarriage. I love it, I think it is wonderful that you can help someone with one of the best gifts ever!!

You have to go through quite a lot of stringent tests, HIV, hepititis, amh levels, being under 35, no bad heriditary conditions etc etc but its so worth it!!! Feel free to pm me. I did mine at the lister clinic in Chelsea, not sure if you are in the uk??

I have a different view on this but I think it's super important to think about all angles. Here's the thing that I think many don't think too much about. You are essentially giving your baby to someone else. This is a lovely gift if you know the person and trust that your child would be in good hands. Personally, I could never live with myself thinking that maybe my child is being hurt or not treated well and it's a risk I just wouldn't take. As for the amount of eggs harvested, I believe they don't proceed unless a certain amount are retrieved so don't worry about not having enough for yourself. My advice to you is to travel to Canada or somewhere cheaper so you can do IVF for you. Many people do this and it's a lot more affordable. Check out my profile. If you're comfortable knowing that there will be a child out there that looks like you and shares your DNA then I say share your eggs! Good luck with whatever you choose:)

Hmmm disagree sorry. I flush my eggs down the toilet every month. However an embryo I could not donate as that is mine and my husbands child. What i see is I donated some cells that yes essentially have my DNA in them but are not my babies.
