I never did do it though. It's actually pretty common for military wives to donate eggs and even become surrogates. I know several women who have done it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40516 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:27:21 +0000 Mrs. Maple Leaf 40516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: If it was just a typo your other statements wouldn't make sense. You can try to back pedal, but now everyone knows that you are dishonest and your "stories" are just that stories. Why you saw the need to make things up I don't know but it is really sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40495 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:56:03 +0000 Miss Adia 40495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Maple Leaf: It was a typo. There isn't a rush to get black female eggs so your turn around is not as quick as a young white female.<br /> I'm constantly choosing weren't/over were, would/wouldn't. I just hit the next word that comes up on my phone.<br /> I'm sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40493 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:48:53 +0000 katydid 40493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right. A typo would be, for example, saying on one forum that you donated in 2008 and on another that you donated in 2009. The statement made here is a complete contradiction of a previous statement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40481 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:26:17 +0000 Mrs. Maple Leaf 40481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: I'm sorry but that excuse makes absolutely no sense. That is not a typo because then the part where yous said "there wasn't a rush of people looking for black women eggs" wouldn't make sense either. Why are you making things up for a board of anonymous women? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40374 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:41:53 +0000 ecogirl 40374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well that was uncomfortable haha :) I feel like I am a bit out of the loop :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40303 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:43:53 +0000 mrbee 40303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: Sure you could post to my wall.<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/mrbee/wall" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/mrbee/wall</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40300 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:40:39 +0000 Miss Adia 40300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee-Is there a way that I can private message you? I don't want to threadjack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40298 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:38:47 +0000 mrbee 40298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: Stigma? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40294 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:29:17 +0000 Miss Adia 40294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek! Typo! I just noticed. (I just got 5 emails from Hellobee all at once) This site is not friendly on my phone. What I meant to say was I'm glad that I DID do it in the end despite the stats being against me. I've heard horror stories of it messing up your body, but needed the money.<br /> It's not instant though like I said. There wasn't a rush for black female eggs.<br /> I'm sorry! I have to look at my posts better. </p> <p>After the long screening process of medical appointments, screening, background checks for criminal records/DUI's/anything really, etc, you go through I think two phases. First part is to take all of the drugs. You kind of feel like a farm factory cow that's injected with hormones to produce more milk. Your stomach feels swollen like you are pregnant. Then they harvest the eggs. It takes months to even be chosen as a donor and those who are chosen are invited back to donate again. In the end, I'm glad I only did it twice because the side effects were terrible. I bet the sudden chin hair that I have is because of it. </p> <p>The behavioral tests are the worst. They ask you questions about how you would react in some situations/how your anger level is/how chill you are/ if you are too relaxed/are you easily pushed around/are you a bully/do you think you could lead a large group of people/are you a follower/do you have a history of depression./how do you deal with rejection/etc.<br /> The photos they take are interesting too. You take some with the high fashion serious model face, smiling, full body, side profile (probably for your nose and chin?).<br /> You do a video bio of yourself.<br /> And then you go into the system and wait.</p> <p>P.S. I would like to keep the Tattoo stigma from this account. ^_^ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-40265 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:46:39 +0000 mrbee 40265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: I'm confused too. I thought you were Miss Tattoo, but Katydid's comment confused me.</p> <p>Did you donate your eggs after all? I can't figure it out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-34305 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:25:28 +0000 ecogirl 34305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MissAdia and @MerryC was it very painful? A friend of mine is indeed interested in this but I must say she is interested in the monetary compensation mostly. I don't know enough about the procedure to give her any real life information above what medical books say.<br /> @MissAdia does donating twice have higher risks than only once? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-32748 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:49:49 +0000 BSB 32748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. I wouldn't do it for the money but to be able to help a couple have a child would be amazing. I'm always trying to give back to the community. I volunteer and I donate blood regularly. I even just signed up to be a bone marrow registry. I'm healthy and there are some people who aren't. I would love to help in any way that I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-32683 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:46:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 32683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: that's what I thought. In Canada we don't get compensation for eggs just like we don't for blood. If they did compensate I would only do it if I was really desperate money wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs/page/2#post-32629 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:59:13 +0000 MsMini 32629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In Canada, you aren't allowed to sell your eggs, you can only give them away (the recipients can pay for the retrieval process only). I wouldn't do it for free, but when I was in University I would have done it for the right amount of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32583 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:24:33 +0000 HabesBabe 32583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, as long as it wouldn't affect my own ability to have children. I wouldn't think of my eggs as "my" children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32570 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:58:45 +0000 twinmama 32570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I commented in greater detail on the other linked post as I have gone through the stimulation and egg retrieval part of the process as part of IVF (but did not go through any donor screening). I will say that the medical risks to ovarian hyperstimulation are no joke and one needs to seriously research OHSS in order to fully understand the risks and learn how to mitigate the symptoms. This is in addition to the obvious emotional component that others have already discussed.</p> <p>However, all of that said, anyone who does this is giving a couple the amazing gift of a chance to carry their own child, and that is admirable. Donor eggs &amp; sperm have made countless beautiful families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32563 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:47:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 32563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twins marrying each other is the craziest thing I've ever heard. </p> <p>I don't think I would sell my eggs, but I would be a surrogate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32434 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:43:13 +0000 Maysprout 32434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: @chopsuey119: Poor twins, realty is always crazier so if they didn't end up married they'd end up as some kind of cop and robber nemesis and end up in some double murder tragedy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32420 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:37:29 +0000 hola abejita 32420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but maybe you could have your own secret language. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-sell-your-eggs#post-32419 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:34:44 +0000 cyndistar3 32419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Oh sick...

I hope Miss Adia can share her experience!
