I'm not sure what the process is called exactly, does anyone know so I can ask my doctor more about it or would anyone like to explain this procedure? But I have been on birth control for only a month now, but I would like to donate on my birthday, which is in June and im pretty sure I will still be on the pills. Also, isnt the age required to donate 18 but you can be 16 and have the signature of your parent for permission right?

First of all to donate eggs you have to go through a very rigorous process. You need to take all kinds of test and answer a bunch of questions. Then you need to go on fertility treatment, which means you will gain weight and become moodier. After all that you have surgery to remove the eggs. Its not like guys being a sperm donor! You can't just go in an say you want to donate your eggs.
Most places also require that you be between the ages of 21 and 30.
♥Hope this helps and it is something that you really need to consider before making any decisions.

I think in some places, you can be 18 to donate. Many fertility clinics advertise specifically to college students and most of them are in their late teens and early 20s. The clinics want younger women because their eggs are seen as being healthier than those from women who are older.

It's an in depth process to donate your eggs. You can't just go to the clinic and donate, especially at 16. Have you researched it at all?

Birth control pills stop ovulation. Part of the donation process involves medication to increase ovulation - you can't have it both ways.
