Women have been donating eggs to help other people have children for over 30 years. Since the beginnings of egg donation, there has been little research investigating women's experiences providing eggs, or the impact of the drugs and procedures on donor health and well-being over time. Our goal is to do the research, so that women considering egg donation have more information before going through

the process. We have been interviewing egg donors about their decisions and experiences since 2013, to collect short-term data on how women decide to become egg donors, how they feel about the egg donation process, and levels of satisfaction. We ultimately plan to follow up and collect long-term data, in order to understand how women's views towards their donations may change over time. This information will benefit anyone interested in the short- and long-term impact of egg donation on women's health and well-being.

The advertisements promise big paydays and the chance to help a family struggling with infertility. But why isn't anyone talking about the potentially life-changing and hazardous health risks that come along with donating?
