Hellobee Boards

@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.

@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.
@MissAdia does donating twice have higher risks than only once?

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.
It's not instant though like I said. There wasn't a rush for black female eggs.
I'm sorry! I have to look at my posts better.

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.

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.
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?).
You do a video bio of yourself.
And then you go into the system and wait.

P.S. I would like to keep the Tattoo stigma from this account. ^_^

@MrBee-Is there a way that I can private message you? I don't want to threadjack.

Well that was uncomfortable haha I feel like I am a bit out of the loop

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.

@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.

Miss Adia has explained what she meant, so let's move on...

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread...
