Being an egg donor

I really wasn't sure where to put this so I apologise if anyone wants it moved.
My best friend has endured two rounds of ivf and is about to try again. I saw her last week and she mentioned they may consider using donor eggs and I wondered privately if I could donate my eggs to her? I'm in my early 30s with no children, married to a wonderful dh .. no desire for children of my own
Is it a terrible idea? Is this something any mumsnetters have been through? What if i get feelings towards this child? Thinking of it as mine etc? What would the procedures be? Obviously would have to discuss with dh etc, and would never even mention it to best friend until I was totally sure.
But they'd be perfect parents... they're the most amazing couple and I just want to end their suffering.

Manchester there's a "Donor Conception" section in "Becoming a Parent"

Have a good browse through , should answer your questions in a Non Rose Tinted Spectacle way .

Do you want to donate them directly to her? In some clinics you can donate to someone else anonymously so your friend goes to the top of the waiting list.
