There is always a need for a child in a person or couples life. That overgrown need to bear a child of your own seems to be strong among women.I never knew of this pain until I lost a child of my own.
I'm in the process of writing a book about about my experience of being Jennifer Smith 180. Jennifer Smith 180 is not my real name but to many couples that is the name on the eggs I donated to them. The thought of my egg with another sperm who is not my hubby I have to admit is strange. I joked with my hubby at least I will know what my child would look like black, with red hair and all the many different traits a child can carry on from the biological parents. I guess what I did was a great thing to do but the reason I became a donor was brought upon making a choice not to have any more children. I took a pregnancy test this past Thursday which was negative. To my surprise I really wanted to be pregnant. It's in our nature to love a child. I have been overcome by a set of emotions I never took the time to look at. I received a call to donate again. I' m not sure what I will say to my hubby. I love to be able to give a couple the chance to have children like I did all four times before. This time writing this book I think I have to deal with my emotions first. Look for my book in the coming year.

Donating eggs seems like something I could imagine doing. My daughters had a brownie troop leader who was a surrogate mother for another couple. THAT seemed like something I couldn't handle in a million years. I know she was pretty emotionally fragile after handing over the baby.
It's very stressful to donate eggs but I can't see myself having a baby for someone. That would be very hard to do for me at least. There is a lot of details the doctors leave out about being a donor. The first time I was a step away from a heart attack. I was in so much pain. It's a lot on a woman's body. If you do it make sure you get all the facts.
