What a wonderful gift to help someone out. Especially around the holidays. That’s so kind of you. I’ve always been interested in this but know nothing about the process or health wise what is expected from me.
Yeah I had to do a ton of research. Fill out numerous papers and an 11 page application. It took nearly 6 months to even start the first donation. It’s a lot of commitment. I had to drive to appointments three days a week for a few weeks. But I’m so happy I can help another family receive the ultimate gift. Becoming a parent has changed my life and others deserve that as well.
This was so interesting! Thanks for sharing! Have you made a video or anything about how/why you chose to donate? I’ve never really heard much about egg donation 🤷🏼♀️
Nope! It comes back right on time. Just instead of producing one egg your producing multiple because of the hormone injections. You just become MUCH more bloated then a normal cycle, crampy, moody, you know like menstrual symptoms TIMES TEN.
The only thing I have found is losing weight has been extremely difficult especially in my lower stomach area. I gained about 10 pounds after and was never able to lose it!
@@Julieryantiffany Im currently waiting to get selected. I just completed the application two weeks ago then had an interview now I’m just waiting to get selected! I guess things don’t happy that quickly 🤪 I’m super excited! Ty some much for responding!
that tired feeling is the worst and I’m sure I’m not even imagining it as intense as you’re feeling it!
Yeah its definitely something totally different than I've ever felt.

I’m glad everything went well!! And I love that you documented this
Thank you so much!
I’m so glad everything went well ❤️ the numbers are crazy. I think they took like 23 eggs from me and out of those they got 5 good embryos
They took 27 last time and I think 12 good one. This time was 12 and they got 9.
For how many days are you to inject the medication given, Before the surgery? And what's the surgery process? Do they pen you up?
Honestly I don’t remember a lot of the details! You’d have to ask a clinic these questions
WOW~ What a blessing to others!
Thank you so much.

I never have actually! I’d love to share someday!
Wowza you guys had to get up SO early to get there!
Oh yeah... we were up and I was showering at 4:00 am.
Hello!! I wanted to know… at the end, how many injections did you need? Once a day for 7 days? 14 days? Thank you
Honestly I don’t really remember. I feel like it was once a day and then the last day I had to wake up at midnight and do one but I’m not sure
Wow I had no clue how the injection process worked!
It’s pretty crazy! But I’m so happy I was able to do it for another Mama.
So does this throw off your cycle then? Since they’re basically taking the eggs out for you?
Oh nvm you just answered lol

Thank you very much for this ♥️
Absolutely!
Do you feel that you've had any long term side affects or illnesses related to your donations?

Hi at what point did you get selected by a recipient to be a donor? How long after being accepted did you get picked?
Every program is different. The first time took about six months where as the second one took about two months.

Well I’ll be praying for you! It’s such a beautiful thing you’re doing to help a family!
Glad everything went well.
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Hey girl!
Hey hey girl!!
How long does the actual surgery take?
It normally takes about a half hour while under general anesthesia.
