Let's talk about one of the biggest fears women have about egg donation, because it deserves a real answer.

Will donating your eggs affect your fertility? It's the question almost every donor asks, and the honest answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no.

Here's what most people don't know. You were born with every egg your body will ever release. Each month, your body naturally grows one egg to maturity and either prepares it for pregnancy or releases it during your cycle. During the IVF process, the hormones you take simply allow your body to mature multiple eggs at once instead of just one. Those eggs were already there. Donation doesn't take anything extra from you.

So if someone goes on to have fertility challenges after donating, it doesn't automatically mean donation was the cause. It may simply mean their body had a lower egg count to begin with, which is something that varies from woman to woman regardless of donation.

The truth is, an informed donor is an empowered donor. Watch the full video to hear the full breakdown.

I never saw myself as an egg donor. Then life put me exactly where I was supposed to be. 🌟

One unexpected opportunity led me into the world of fertility and once I was close enough to witness the heartbreak, hope and resilience of families trying to have a child, I knew I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself.

The idea that I had something to give that could genuinely change someone's life? It stopped feeling scary and started feeling like the most natural thing in the world.

If you've ever been even a little curious about egg donation, this one's for you. 👆
