Egg Donation. Should I or shouldn't I?

I have considered becoming an egg donor but I would just like to know more about the current procedure methods and major risks. Thanks.

This is a question to which there is a long answer and many issues need to be covered. An excellent source of information for you would be the website for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, www.asrm.org. Then click on TOPIC INDEX. Then click on EGG DONATION. You will find a lot of info. Next step would be to get in touch with a local IVF program that does egg donor and they may be able to provide you with some information. Being a donor is a great thing - very helpful to couples/women who want to have a family and need help! Good luck.
