3 Questions You Should Avoid Asking An Egg Donor

For an egg donor, having the encouragement and support of her friends and family can significantly influence her confidence in entering the egg donation process. Even though more people today are familiar with egg donation than before, it is still a sensitive topic with many myths and stigmas attached. As a result, many egg donors face difficult and often intrusive questions from their well-wishers. To put it plainly, a lack of understanding and education about this topic can transform an ordinary conversation into a stressful one. 

3 Questions You Should Avoid Asking An Egg Donor

At Rite Options, we understand that former, current, and prospective egg donors avoid having discussions on the topic of egg donation because they are often asked inappropriate questions. 

Listed Below Are Three Questions You Should Avoid Asking An Egg Donor.

1) "How Much Are They Going To Pay You?"

The irony about this question is that most people do not ask about compensation when discussing employment or salary items. However, curiosity seems to override civility when the topic of assisted reproduction comes into the discussion. Suddenly, it becomes perfectly okay to discuss the financial gain's specifics arising from donating one's eggs. The reality of the matter is how much the egg donor is getting paid, and any other information related to this is entirely up to the egg donor. She chooses to reveal and how much is also her prerogative, even if she decides not to get into the specifics. Keep in mind, the decision to donate is complicated and cannot be reduced to figure.

2) "Aren't You Worried About The Donation Process Hurting?"

By asking an egg donor if she is worried about the side effects and the pain from the egg donation procedure, she should be concerned. In all likelihood, she has already had her concerns dispelled by a physician. Doctors who specialize in egg retrieval are well versed in the side effects that a donor may experience and are therefore better prepared to handle the risks.

3) "Doesn't it Feel Strange To Give Up a Baby That is Yours?"

This is a very unkind question. It completely undermines the decision-making of everyone involved in the process of egg donation. Egg donors who are taken into the egg donation program are thoroughly screened and interviewed. They have a thorough grasp and acceptance of what to expect during the procedure. Egg donors are psychologically prepared to comprehend that the baby resulting from the procedure will help a deserving family who cannot have a baby on their own.

How Does The Traditional Surrogacy Process Work?

Traditional Surrogacy Definition Traditional surrogacy is also referred to as genetic or partial surrogacy, mainly because the surrogate shares a biological link to the child she is carrying. There are many emotional and legal variables involved in traditional surrogacy; however, this may be a better option for some people. People who may pursue a traditional surrogacy process are: Same-sex male couples Single Men or Women Intended mothers who are unable to produce viable eggs Heterosexual couples and some women who can generate viable eggs but cannot safely carry their baby to term are more likely to pursue gestational surrogacy. This option enables intended parents to be genetically linked to their unborn child. Same-sex couples, single men, and women who cannot produce viable eggs pursue traditional surrogacy because they require donor eggs. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother is also the egg donor. Since the surrogate is the baby’s biological mother, most traditional su...
