Being an egg donor was an amazing experience for me. It’s something that I’ve always thought of doing and having this opportunity to help out another was very fulfilling. The staff were extremely helpful and I always felt safe and comfortable, even moments before the retrieval. I never felt alone in this process and I would definitely donate again to help somebody else start their family. Thank you so much.

Congratulations!!!
