Potential/Current Donors Discussion Thread #1

Hi Marj,

I am not a donor but a recipient. I just wanted to say that i think what you are doing is absolutley wonderful. There are not many like you - thankyou for telling your story - and thankyou for talking about it with others - hopefully by doing so this will enlighten other to our plight and maybe just maybe you may inspire other woman out there who are thinking of doing the same. I know when i had eggs donated to me from a friend she said she had been thinking of it for years - but until i came along she had not done anything about it. Maybe in some strange way the universe was waiting for us to get together - who knows - the universe does work in funny ways. Good luck with it all - you must be feeling a little bloated by now being 5days off harvesting - i remember the feeling haveing gone thru it mayself a number of times - again you are a champ.

Hi Lissie,
Thank you for such a lovely email. It was just what I needed to hear on a night when, to be honest, I'm not feeling all that fantastic. (It's like having PMS times about 20!) It'll all be over soon though, and I know it'll be worth it.

Your words have really cheered me up.

Hope things are going well with where you're up to in all of this.
