My first donation

I've decided to start a blog about my experience being an egg donor. I am a new donor and will be starting my first cycle next week. My goal is to blog as close as possible to "real time" so women who are interested in learning more about egg donation can get a first-hand account of the process from beginning to end.

I am a 25-year-old who does not have any children. I am married and hope to have children of my own a few years down the road. Right now I am working full time, attending graduate school and taking care of my husband and our puppy. I have a busy and fulfilling life, and I believe that egg donation is a wonderful gift that I have to offer at this time. In the grand scheme of things, this small time commitment and gift on my part could give a family a lifetime of joy they otherwise might not have been able to experience.

I encourage everyone to ask questions and also provide feedback to my posts. As this is my first time donating, I'll simply be talking about my feelings and experiences, but would also love to get advice and encouragement from others.
