The Gift Of Eggs

We went camping for the 3-day weekend. Finished the last of our antibiotic, yay! I should be getting my period any second now and letting the clinic know when I do and then I'll start the new bc pack on the 3rd day.

That's about all!

What Being An Egg Donor Means To Me

To me, donating my eggs was an obvious decision. Since I was a child I've longed to me a Mother. I used to have fears that I'd never get to be pregnant. When I was 21 I fell in love with a woman. We soon realized we'd be together forever, and all of a sudden my path to parenthood had a new twist.

With Pam as my partner I'd never have to worry about birth control or unexpected pregnancies. Then again, I'll never get the chance to carry a child that is both part me and part her. I know that someday we'll rely on a sperm donor to help us create the family we dream about. And that's when it became clear that if I could help a couple conceive I should jump at the chance.

And isn't that what it's all about? Helping people acheive their dreams. Children need loving parents who want them more than anything, and that's something I have in common with the woman who will become a Mother with the eggs I donate. Her dream of carrying a child and the miracle of birth will come true with my help.

The eggs they harvest and take out of my body are not my children. Every month I flush away an egg that I don't even think twice about. And now I have the chance to do something life changing for a woman who is more similar to me than she probably knows. She needs me to give her the gift of my eggs.

The saying, "It takes a village to raise a child" might also read, "And sometimes it takes a stranger to help make that child!"

I consider this the greatest gift I could ever give.
