As the New Year approached, I committed to making a real difference in someone else’s life by exploring the path of egg donation.
I’ve always loved lending a hand—whether it’s volunteering or being the go-to friend for advice—but I yearned to do something impactful. After hearing about the egg donation program from my friend Sarah, who had a wonderful experience, I thought, “This is perfect for me!” However, just like many resolutions, I found myself distracted and delayed the process. I kept saying, “I’ll finish my donor profile tomorrow,” and before I knew it, days turned into weeks and then months.
One evening, a friend reached out to talk and asked about my resolution. When I confessed that I hadn’t started yet, she looked puzzled, knowing how passionate I was about making a difference. Her reaction sparked my motivation, and I finally took the plunge.
That very night, I sat down to complete my donor profile, which surprisingly went quickly. Just three months later, I was able to donate my eggs, and I felt an overwhelming sense of empowerment and pride. Though I don’t know the recipients of my donation, I am confident that I positively impacted their lives.
If you’ve also resolved to make a difference this year, I encourage you to invest in yourself and begin your egg donation journey! It was an incredible experience that I would love to repeat.
Best of luck to you on your own journey,
A Fellow Egg Donor
