for your advice when I came on here a few weeks ago asking about medical records. I am an egg donor. Found out two days ago that the 4th family got pregnant! That is 4 out of 4 for me and at least one set got pregnant w/ twins (that's all my coordinator told me)!!

It's been about 9 months since I started this journey, so I suspect (hope) that one couple has delivered by now. I am so excited for all of them!! I got such a nice note from the last family, they said "we don't know you, but you made us so incredibly happy. Thank you!"

Anyway, I was getting rid of my leftover meds/needles (lots had already been turned in and/or tossed) and decided to snap a few pics. This is probably only 1/3 of what I did over the last 9ish months (4 donor cycles, 3 long lupron, 1 antagonist). I feel like it was all worth it. What started as mostly monetary (thought I'd do one cycle) has turned into something much more. I feel so lucky to have been able to give something that I wasn't using to someone that needed it so much. I don't have anywhere to share these pics or my story and even though you don't "know" me (some of you do know me under my real name), I felt the most comfortable sharing here.

BTW, all my levels/numbers were good!! Antral follicle count is 34, so now we will try for our own baby.

I promise I won't post again. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you. I have several friends who are pregnant or have new babies that wouldn't be without the generous gift of people like you. Bless you.

Thanks for posting. I am an egg donor recipient and will be starting my second cycle soon. It is so nice for me to read how excited you are about all your successful recipients. It makes me feel good that it isn't just about the money for you. Thanks again for donating and best of luck to you in your own journey!

Thank you so much for being an egg donor! It's because of the generousity of people like you that many people who wouldn't have otherwise been able to conceive were able to have families!

Best of luck to you in the future.

THANK YOU for being an egg donor. I have a friend who has tried everything (IUI, IVF, surrogate)...and now is going through a donor cycle with renewed hope. She is so happy, and it is because of someone with a generous and big heart, like you!

My son is the product of an egg donor conception. I think of our donor often, and always with the most profound gratitude and esteem. He is an amazing child - sensitive, and funny and kind and gentle - and while he is the near clone of my husband, I know that much of his generous spirit comes from the egg donor. I will be proud to tell him about her as he gets older. Thank you for the gift you have provided to other families.
