Ladies: would you ever consider donating your eggs?

couldn't do it. i admire women who do, but...i just don't like the idea of my genes being out there somewhere and who knows how they're being treated.

acidflowers said, (229 days ago)

that probably sounds a bit silly.

As soon as I turn 21, I am spreading my seed as far as the wind will take it.

Absolutely. There are too many women who aren't fertile but want children.

I've thought about it.

But it is SO MUCH WORK. Daily hormone injections. Lots of checkups. Big needles in your ovaries. 100X normal fertility levels, so if an attractive man even LOOKS at you, you get pregnant on the spot!

@ acidflowers: It's not silly. I think that really makes sense.

@ krissyjo: exactly. I mentioned it casually to my mom today and she thinks I'm crazy.

and I law her said, (229 days ago)

@ voltaic crusher: haha! In that case, why wait?

@ mizzchelle: that is definitely something to consider. I had to test my blood for a few months on a regular basis, and even THAT was hard for me.

I prefer to keep all of my eggs in one basket: mine.

But I have lots of respect for women who can handle all of the things Mizzchelle mentioned in order to help the women krissyjo mentioned.

apparently they don't want my 19 year old halfbabies.

no.

I do not want children, and that includes other people having my children.

I would, but it's too much work. Plus, with my history of medical problems, I'm not sure they would even let me.

soulcamp said, (229 days ago)

I am not a woman, but if I was, I would definitely consider it. The only problem is what mizzchelle mentioned, plus I've heard that it can be painful.

If a friend asked me, I would probably do it. That goes for me being a guy, as well.

and I law her said, (229 days ago)

@ bizzchelle: totally.

@ volataic crusher: how silly of them :)

@ Sarah: that makes sense.

@ ginger: that may disqualify me as well, should I ever think about this for reals.

@ soulcamp: That's very noble, soulcamp.

I have heard that it is not only painful and a lot of work, but that it is also a somewhat dangerous procedure. (Granted, I don't know if that's true, but it would be something to consider.)

However, I probably would, if I thought that I could handle the work and pain. It seems unlikely to me that I'll have children, so why not help someone else out?

jennatar said, (229 days ago)

It's unlikely, too, that I'll have children, and I think I could get good money for these little things I'm wasting.

ABoyNamedArt said, (229 days ago)

A friend of mine just went through the process. She said it was pretty draining, to say the least.

jennatar said, (229 days ago)

Yeah, but that's why it's a lot of money!

Jiggs Casey said, (229 days ago)

I would consider donating someone else's eggs.

more pepper! said, (228 days ago)

i have considered it, but knowing all the things mizzchelle said, plus the fact that there are PLENTY of children already out there who need and deserve lonving homes?

it's a tough call.

L said, (228 days ago)

i've thought about it, but i would get rejected on the spot, i think. history of mental illness and all.
