• Fertility clinics are aggressively looking for
  young women who might consider donating eggs for
  money. The advertisements are now finding their
  way into print ads and movies including the
  potential financial compensation awaiting those
  donating eggs for money.

3

• You might think that donating eggs for money is
  ludicrous and that you would never, in a million
  years, do it regardless of the amount. However,
  for young women who are strapped for cash, it
  might seem like an easy way to earn a quick buck.
  Unfortunately, its not as easy as locking
  oneself in a private room and ejaculating into a
  cup.

4

• Aside from the obvious financial compensation,
  when a women donate eggs is also emotionally and
  spiritually rewarding. It gives you the
  opportunity to provide a couple with the gift of
  life in the form of a child.

5

• Most young women donating eggs for money are
  misinformed about the procedure. A potential
  applicant would be undergoing extensive
  evaluation and testing for transmittable diseases
  and abnormalities. A applicant who will be
  donates eggs will also be undergoing
  psychological evaluation since she will be
  waiving all legal right over the child.

6

• The qualified applicants who will be donating
  eggs are then put on birth control pills to
  synchronize the menstrual cycle with that of the
  beneficiary. The applicant will continuously
  inject herself with hormone stimulants that
  influence the normal ovarian process.

7

• Then, around 35 hours prior to egg retrieval,
  the donor will then inject herself with the big
  shot that will stimulate the egg production.
  During the egg retrieval process, the donor is
  usually anesthetize and a needle is inserted
  through the vaginal wall to retrieve around 20 to
  30 eggs. These eggs are microscopically small and
  is described to be as big as a dot.

8

• The entire process prior to retrieval is about
  six weeks and it will take another six weeks for
  the body to return to normal.

9

• For young women who are donating eggs, it is
  important to know there are serious side effects
  to the procedure. Ovarian hyperstimulation
  syndrome is one such harmful side effect.

10

• Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome or OHSS will
  cause the person donating eggs to retain fluid
  and the ovaries to swell. This would usually go
  away after your next cycle however you maybe
  monitored and advised bed rest and pain
  medications.

11

• In a more severe cases of OHSS, it can lead to
  some very serious complications like blood clots,
  kidney failures and build up of fluids in the
  lungs. This condition can be fatal hence
  hospitalization is often necessary but it is
  estimated to happen only to one percent of egg
  donors.

12

• Moreover, there is also the possibility of
  having one or both your ovaries removed because
  of OHSS complications however the risk decreases
  after the eggs have been harvested.

13

• You also need to be aware of the less fatal side
  effects that donating eggs can bring like -
• Bloating
• Enlarged ovaries
• Headaches
• Mild bruising
• Mild fluid retention
• Mood swings
• Redness
• Soreness
• Tender Breasts

14

• Women who are looking into donating eggs need to
  be aware that it can also be potentially fatal.
  There have been five known cases of egg donors in
  the United Kingdom who have died from
  complications arising from donating eggs. 

15

• One such recent case was in August 2006 wherein
  the donor bled to death after her arteries were
  punctured during egg retrieval.

16

• Another prominent case is that of Calla
  Papademous who was a Stanford graduate who
  answered an ad that involves donating eggs for
  money for a tall and athletic woman with an SAT
  score of over 1400.

17

• She had a bad reaction to the hormone stimulant,
  Lupron, that led her to suffer a massive stroke
  but was only paid 750 because she didnt produce
  any viable eggs.

18

• She suffered brain damage however she was able
  to miraculously recover. Moreover, she now faces
  the probability of suffering her own infertility
  due to the incident.

19

• After hearing the possible health risk and side
  effects, what do you think is your eggs worth?
  Unlike sperm donors who only gets about 100 a
  pop, women donating eggs for money do get a lot
  more. How much more, you ask? It actually depends
  on a several factors.

20

• Location There are countries that dont allow
  women donating eggs for money and mandates that
  it be done for free like in New Zealand. It would
  also be dependent on the city you are getting the
  procedure done it. Typically, clinics in big
  cities like New York and Los Angeles pay more
  than clinics found in Providence or Boise.

21

• Experience Typically, clinics are often looking
  for women who have a proven track record. This
  means that if this is your first time donating
  eggs then you are more likely to receive less
  than more experienced donors.

22

• Pedigree Like dog breeders, it is important for
  clinics and couples that the potential donors are
  accomplished. Applicants without high school
  diplomas are often rejected and women with
  graduate degree especially from Ivy League
  schools can potentially earn higher for donating
  eggs for money. This also applies to career women
  with high paying professional jobs.

23

• However, with everything said and done, it is
  important to study all factors pertaining to the
  procedure aside from the financial aspect when
  you are donating eggs for money.
