I actually have donated my eggs before...about three years ago, as a matter of fact...needed the money to pay off some of my college loans...the money was great, but lemme tell ya...the process is very rigorous and it put a lot of strain on me, physically and emotionally, due to all of the hormones that are given in order to harvest the eggs...let's just say I was a hormonal mess for about four months....

I think not. I think it is wonderful for infertile couples to seek alternative ways to have a child, but I don't know that I would ever be comfortable with it. Perhaps if it was a close friend who came and asked me, then I would feel differently. Still out of my comfort zone, and it would be odd to see a child that was from my egg but not my child. But it seems that it would connect you intimately with the couple, whether you wanted to be or not. And it would be so awkward... this is my child, but it's actually your child, and what do you tell the child? Would it confuse the poor thing? Anyways. I think it is a great thing for infertile couples, and I wish them all the best of luck, but I do not think I should like to do that.

Only if I desperately needed money. Otherwise no, I wouldn't go through the discomfort and uncertain health risks for money. And women should be aware that the fees they get for harvesting are quite low in relation to those risks and what they have to go through. I would very likely do it for a very close friend or a family member. In that situation, while the parents of the child would be the parents with full parental rights, I would still want a connection to the child and consider them a part of me so I would want to be a part of their life. Maybe like a god mother, though I'm not religious. I was raised with traditional values and views about kinfolk.

At times (I really have no FOCUSED REASON why) I do consider "donating" sperm, but I have never (yet?) taken myself up on researching this past the thought.
And, does the AGE of the sperm donor have a bearing?
I am already "past my prime" at age 44, so I might be past due. :-(

i would have to know the couple inside and out. like a close friend i have known for years, or a family member. kids are not something you give away lightly, or bring into the world on a whim....(even though so many folks do just that!) i would need to know medical, mental, physical histories and the true to heart reason(s) why they truly want a child, etc.

I know it would be for a very deserving couple who had been carefully screened and all but still it would be like giving them my baby and I would always wonder and worry so no. I guess I could not do that. as much as i would want to help them.

No, I am one of those "infertile couples", so no good eggs to give away.

I can't.
Too many health problems of my own.
My ovaries are getting yanked anyway in a couple of weeks... Those suckers are done and causing me major problems...
