  • hi jamie, i just wanted to say i really enjoyed all of the videos through your process. very educational and you made it easy for the audience to get to know you. i was considering being an egg donor but with bother college and my full time job and my relationship i have realised maybe in a few years lol. i give you a lot of credit for going through what you went through, and if it was a success i know you gave them a beautiful offspring!!

  • Do they let you know if your donation resulted in a full term birth?

  • @soloban81 No, part of the donation being anonymous was me not knowing the outcome. I'm definitely curious, but I totally understand the reasoning behind it.

  • so did you get your money? was it on time, how much etc what about taxes?

  • @Deeperinthegarden Yeah, they paid me during my follow-up appointment a week after the retrieval. The first donation was $5k, and it increased by $500 with each additional donation. I honestly don't remember how much taxes I ended up paying, sorry!

  • did you have to pay anything to donate your eggs? and how much did they pay you?? please reply.... bahr_ashley@yahoo.com

  • Hey! I am really happy you posted these videos. Would you say that your experience was more complicated than what most donors can expect? Have there been any more complications/experiences related to your donation in the past two years? Thanks again!

  • @ementeur I'm glad you like the videos! I never got the impression from the staff at the clinic that my experience was atypical in any way, so I'd say that everything I talked about in the videos is pretty representative of how it is for most. And, thankfully, I haven't had any health problems at all since my donations!

  • Hi. I´m from Chile and trying to get pregnant the last 5 years. In chile nobody knows about egg donation an d I just wanted to say Tnks to you for doing this. if we live there or you here, you were our first and one option. U´re so sweet and care. sorry my english and if I made a mistake writing....

  • Ok another dumb question lets say you get to meet the baby and have a DNA test done, would he come out to be your baby?

  • Yep. Since the baby has the donor's DNA/genes,  the test would show that the donor is the mother.

  • Wow that is so amazing. I was just wondering cause I would like to be an egg donor.

  • Maybe this is a stupid question but are egg donors in a way the parent of the future baby?

  • I don't think the egg donor is a mother at all. Yes, the baby has the donor's genes, but the recipient is the biological mother of the baby since she carried and gave birth to it. :)

  • how long was the entire donation process from start to finish? I could look this up but it would be easier and faster to just ask you: what was the actual procedure like? it Isn't surgical is it?

  • It took a total of one cycle (3 weeks) from when I started the first medication to the time they retrieved the eggs. The actual procedure wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be. Basically, they gave me an IV with twilight sleep and I woke up a couple hours later and it was all over with. They retrieved the eggs through a needle inserted through my vagina. I don't remember a thing about it, and I didn't feel bad at all afterward...until the OHSS set in the next day!

  • The OHSS went away after a few days. I drank a lot of fluids and that helped a lot. I think I was back to the gym about two weeks after the retrieval (if I remember correctly!).

  • How did everything turn out after your last appointment? Did your OHSS go down... did you need to do anything else after that? How long did it take you to start working out again?

  • Wow.....that's really nice of you for donating your eggs!!! Did you ever find out if the person you donated your eggs to got pregnant?

  • The program I was in was completely anonymous, so I will never know if the couple got pregnant. That's the good and bad part about it!
