(I mean if you do not have any eggs yourself)

i know this isn't exactly answering your question, but would u take a moment to look at a different perspective for a moment?
i'm not the product of egg donation, but i am the product of sperm donation. very much the same thing. have you thought about the needs of your potential child(ren)? growing up knowing that there's someone out there who is your real parent, along with the fact that you have a whole bunch of half-siblings out there, is hell. the children will grow up wondering if every woman they pass on the street is "her." they'll cry whenever they hear the song "where is love" from oliver twist (i do, because in my mind the words get changed from she to he and her to him and such). they'll have to ask every person they date, embarrassingly, what their mothers have done in the past to make sure they're not half-siblings. they'll grow up having to deal with an identity crisis that is HEARTWRENCHING. it's not a fun way to grow up, i promise you. a lot of kids end up wondering why their mom sold them (ie sold their egg, who was them). i'm not trying to discount your desire to be a mom, i'm sure it's very great, and it's wonderful that you want to love "your" child. i'm just calling to attention something i don't believe many people in your situation consider. please remember there is always adoption, and there are a lot of little kids out there who need a mom. if you want more info, please message me. i know several people i can refer you to or books if you'd like. thanks

As long as you can love the child as if he/she were of your own egg. That 5 years down the road when the baby might look like the bilogical mother, you don't resent the child, then yes. There are tons of implantation methods, having other women carry your baby and even adoption. As long as you, your husband and the woman are okay and have drawn up legal papers to protect all of you. Go for it. But you might want to think about adoption as well. (my hubby was adopted from Korea and I was adopted in the US) so adoption is close to our hearts. If you are okay with it, there are so many millions of babies that need help and would probably cost the same if not less than the procedure you are talking about. But whatever you choose, best of luck and I hope your dreams come true

Yes.
An egg donor is a woman who provides usually several eggs (ova, oocytes) for another person or couple who want to have a child. Egg donation involves the process of in vitro fertilization as the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory. The role of the egg donor is completed after the eggs have been obtained. Egg donation is part of the process of third party reproduction.
Use of egg donors is regulated and /or prohibited in many countries. In the United States, having an attorney draft your contract is often necessary to establish and confirm your parental rights over any child.

That is a question that only YOU can decide. Yes women everyday donate there egg's for a coupole who can't conceive (same as sperm for the men) It wouldn't be your biological baby but it would be your's from all your love and carrying it. Adoption can be different as you CAN'T experience the birth or pregnancy. So like I said it is totally up to you and your man. Good luck!

As long as you don't have a problem with it personally, then it is your decision. It's hardly different, in principal, than adopting, and it's beneficial to the women who, for instance, do not have ovaries and would like to carry a child in their womb. It's a matter of personal beliefs.

Yes. You might want to read about personal experience of both donors and recipients before you decide -

Well then it wouldn't be YOUR baby. Why don't you just adopt? Same thing really.
