Egg Donation. Really want to do it, but scared to!

I've posted about this before, but it was ages ago. I really want to donate my eggs. I have thought about this for ages.....and I think that apart from serious illness (of you or a loved one) being told you can't have children must be up there with the worst news ever if you want children.

I would love to help. I heard yesterday that the waiting list is 3yrs for donated eggs. And that the younger the donor is the better. Well I'm only 27 and would feel so priveleged to help even just one person have the baby they so yearn for.

I know how it feels to long for a baby..... but the only thing stopping me was circumstances (money, house etc). But I was SO lucky in that when we decided to have a baby.... we just did. How much do we take that for granted.

I would ove to hear of any MN'ers experiences of either donating, or receiving a dontated egg.

Would I need lots of time off work? How long does the whole process take? Would it jeopardise my future fertility.

Any advice/experiences would be fab.

TIA

I hate injections, so it's not for me. But it's a lovely idea! Hope you find out if it's for you or not.

loads of info here

I think it's lovely you are thinking about it, I know I couldn't.

Expat - No that doesn't bother me too much. In fact, I'd probably quite like to meet the families.... I know thats not likely to happen though.

Don't really know much about it, but do know it is no longer anonymous in the UK, in case that's another factor you are considering.
