Things I Didn’t Expect as an Egg Donor
By Rite Options
Here are seven things that I didn’t expect:
Working with the egg donor applications, and creating web content for the site, I thought I knew it all about egg donation ! Yet I found myself asking a lot of questions, and learned so much more as I went through the actual egg donor process.
I'm a Patient
At the clinic, I was referred to as a “patient”, and I replied, “Oh, I’m not the patient! I’m just the egg donor.” The doctor said, “Of course you’re a patient! You’re getting a medical procedure done, and we are going to take care of you!”
So Much Gatorade
They tell you to drink Gatorade and not the watered-down kind. I usually just drink water, but the electrolytes in the Gatorade are great for your body while it’s in cycle.
After the first couple of times, it was easy.
It was just a quick pinch, but I was so nervous to do the first “test” one at the clinic. They had me try it in front of them, so I would know what to expect.
The Needles Didn’t Really Hurt.
I Became So Calm During My Cycle
Everyone has their own experience, but I wanted to be as attuned with my body as possible. I paused more often to think, took deep breaths, and listened to what my body was trying to tell me
People Had a Lot of Questions
I was very open about my experience, and naturally, people had a lot of questions, mostly women. My male friends were less forthcoming about their curiosity.
Women have heard of it, and thought about doing it themselves. After answering questions, a lot of people said maybe they’d apply since they had a better understanding of the process.
There Are a Lot of Women Interested in Being a Donor
The Retrieval Was Quick.
It was the best nap ever. The surgery is usually less than 20 minutes. I woke up feeling less bloated with heat pads over my tummy and wrapped in warm blankets.
