Hi, I hope I have posted this in the right area....
I am wondering what is actually involved with donating eggs. I have been considering it for a few years but never actually looked into it.
I know you need councilling (with DH) before doing it which I'd be happy to do & know it would be needed before doing something so major, but what else is involved? Are there many woman on this site who have actually been through it?
The only thing I'm a little concerned about is parting with the egg & not being emotionally attatched in some way. It's a huge thing to me but I dont really want that to stop me helping another couple achieve their dream of becoming parents. To me it is one of the greatest things you can give & I'd love to know I've been able to help a couple in such a massive way.
So I guess the main thing I'm wondering (to anyone out there who has actually donated) is how did you feel when it came to crunch time? I dont know if I'd want to stay in contact with recieving photos etc or ifI'd prefer to cut all ties until the child is old enough to look for me him/herself.... if they chose to.
My DH wasn't happy with me doing it at first but he has finally come around so I'm just starting to look into it.
Sorry if I've babbled, I dont really know how to word it the right way........
Danielle and Nic, I am at work at the moment but I will pop back in tonight to chat about some of things to think about with egg donation.
It is an incredible gift to consider giving someone or a couple.

ETA I can always ask my sister to give you her insights too if she is willing.
