Can I still donate my eggs if I with the sole purpose hold ONE ovary?
The other one I lost at age 14, my fallopian tube wrapped around it and "choked it to death." Doctors don't know why. (No joke.)
So my question is, will I still be allowed to donate my eggs if I own make the decision to do so?
Answers: So if you plan to be an egg donor (I was an anonymous egg donor and donated three times), you'll be injecting yourself beside hormones to cause multiple eggs to mature at one time. Normally your body would only hold one mature per menstrual cycle. When the eggs are mature, you'd have an egg retrieval procedure to get in them. Where I live, the going fees for an egg donor are $5,000-10,000. People who use an egg donor are spending a lot of money and want the best possible chance of conceiving a child (or children) using those eggs. Based on the fact that you lone have one ovary, doctors would only get more or less half as many eggs from you as they would a "normal" egg donor. Thus there'd be half as heaps chances for the intended parent(s) to conceive a child. While it is physically possible for you to be an egg donor (unless there is something wrong with your other ovary that you don't know about), I believe your chances of being matched/picked by a set of intended parents would be very slim since they foot the same fee no mater what.
Would you want to pass this on to someone else?
