Would you do this?

Would you ask your sister for an egg (or more than one) or would you let your sister have one of yours?

I personally don't have a sister, but even if I did, I don't think I could give one of my eggs to her or take one of hers. It wouldn't feel right.

I would absolutely give an egg to my sister if she needed, and be her surrogate or gestational carrier if she went that route instead. I wouldn't give my eggs to anyone else though. My thoughts might be influenced by the fact that my eldest is adopted-

kimjongunalso

100% yes

anssett

Of course! It's family. I'd probably strongly consider a few people beyond my own flesh and blood sister that I consider enough of my family to donate or surrogate for.

JordyInIndy

Without a doubt I absolutely would. And as pp said yes to surrogate also without question.

ETA I have no clue what drugs I was on when I replied the first time. Let me clearly explain.

I would donate, if I had better genes. If I could donate to my hypothetical sister I would. I would donate to my SIL as well, provided

karebear57

I definitely would...I would even give one to my sister in law.

Ms5586

Without a second thought.  I've actually told my sister that I would carry for her if she and her husband decided to have a second child (she can't).

Um, you don't just donate (or receive) one egg. A donor, related or anonymous, goes through an entire stimulation cycle for IVF to retrieve as many eggs as possible.

Having gone through stims and egg retrieval myself, I can say that I will never

magdalina.h

Even though we have a strained relationship, if she asked I would say yes.

CarolineEmma

I would carry a baby for my sister for sure, but I don't think I could donate eggs for her. I think that knowing her child is genetically my child could cause tension that I wouldn't want to bring into our relationship.

joanithegreat

I would absolutely give an egg or be a gestational carrier for either one of my sisters.  One sister offered to be a gestational carrier or to donate an egg if needed.  The other sister has offered to donate eggs.  I was extremely touched b

I would definitely consider using my sister's eggs.

My sister knows we are dealing with IF and has offered to donate her eggs or be a gestational carrier if we need it.   Right now I haven't thought about it too much, since we are no wh

CootieQueen170

I would give my sister my eggs if she ever asked, and I'm sure she would do the same. However, neither one of us would be a gestational carrier for the other, I had a rough pregnancy and she had a rough labor and delivery. It's kind of a moot point since

ricecakes1216

Definitely. My SIL has told me that she'd donate eggs to me or be my gestational/surrogate if we got to that point.

sweetpea2003

In reality, with my history, probably not.  I have DOR, have had two miscarriages, one premature baby, and am on bed rest/on 17-P shots when pregnant.  My pregnancies are just really hard on me (to get pregnant, to stay pregnant, to deliver a

From the other side, here.

With severe endo and a solo ovary, my chances of conceiving are super slim. We tried iui's, but unsuccessfully. We moved on to adoption and brought DD home at birth.

My sister and her husband were successful with

Beckel84

That's a tough question. I would strangely be more open to taking my sisters egg then that of a stranger but I might always feel like she was always mom, I guess. I don't know. 

Liz4444

I don't have a sister, but I have a SIL who is having fertility problems.  I honestly don't know, but I feel like I'd be more inclined to donate an egg then be a surrogate.  I know myself and I would not be able to be a surrogate.

Cynthia7461

My sister told me no. She didn't think her husband would go for it

Leila'sMommy

Never, for either. Not at all.

Kamiegrace1

No, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't opt for IVF for myself either.

Eastie156

I would to both. If my sister wanted or needed me to and I could, I would.

starshineamator

I don't have a sister, but I have actually serious considered offering to be a surrogate/gestational carrier and/or my eggs for my SIL, who has been suffering with infertility for 5 years and gone through multiple rounds of fertility treatments and IVF. E

notquiteblushing

Sure I would.  I got 19 eggs out of my IVF retrieval so I'd hope to have plenty for either of my sisters to have.  And my pregnancy has gone really well so if they needed a carrier I'd do that too.

But, in reality, my older sister alrea

Yes, and in reality it could be a total stranger, I volunteered when I was younger but wasn't chosen, I think due to medical history (quite a bit of cancer in my family).  To me it's just dna, it's not my baby it's their baby, my baby is the one I ho
