Sperm donation.

This comes to mind as I am finishing the second season of House.

So have any of you done it? What are your thoughts? Any inside info? Is it possible to make some money off of it? How do they screen people?

I would assume they would screen you for health issues and from the TV shows etc, they seem to like higher education, etc.

So what's your take and what do you guys know about it?
 
Yeah, I think I've donated to a couple of girls. Last time was to my girlfriend. Was a quite relieving experience.
 
Don't be surprised if one day donors will be forced to pay child support for their biological childern. (I believed its already happened in UK once).

In the eyes of the judge, welfare for a child usually beats out a legal contract. I don't trust my sperm to anyone but my wife.
 
You have to be pretty "desireable" for good money for a donation... i.e. well educated, good looking, athletic, smart, etc.
They will test you for genetic disorders, health problems, etc.

The money is egg donation. I looked into it, but the procedure is very long and drawn out, but payment can be upwards of 10-20k per egg.

I think she was looking into it, but if she did it, i am not sure.

It literally takes weeks for the whole process to complete. Injections,abstaining from sex, meds, invasive procedures, it is almost not even worth the amount of money you would get. I would just feel so good knowing i could help give someone a baby.

edit for sucky splelling 😉

Wow, weeks to earn 10-20k? OH THE HORROR! 😛
 
I don't like the fact how the woman that has your child can track you down and force you to give her child support even though you've never seen her or had sex with her. The "you should have worn a rubber"-argument doesn't work here, SHE CHOSE SHE WANTED A CHILD (she even paid good money for the procedures)!

even if I only got $5 a "pop" (pun intended) for my sperm I could easily make as much as you would for one egg in a week 😉

I know...I know....I'll quit now....

Donor Eggs: I'm probably going to assume the long and drawn procedure is similiar to the stuff my wife and I went through while going through an IVF cycle..

* Woman takes Lupron (stops egg folicles from releasing) on first day of menstrual cycle
* About ten days later, woman then starts more various meds. that increase the numbers of egg follicles that are produced; also continues Lupron
* Constant monitoring by IVF specialists, measuring follicles daily, or every other day.. 18mm size per follicle is idea..
* Continue meds until idea size of follicles has been reached.. At this point, there may be more than a dozen egg follicles; Woman will be very irritable, hormonal, and bloated
* Once appropriate size has been reached from the egg follicles, egg enhancing meds are stopped.. Lupron is still took that day, but another (one time) med. is taken that will release all the egg follicles in uterus
* Woman goes in to IVF specialists and has all eggs retrieved..basically... lie down.. spread legs wide open, while specialists pluck and poke at woman's uterus to retrieve eggs


**edit**

All of the medications my wife took were injections. All in the stomach.. and in the middle of the cycle, I was giving my wife three shots a day; a human pin cushion....

Yes.. but if your health insurance doesn't cover fertility, then all the meds could cost $1,000 and/or more. It depends on what the woman needs and how she responds to certain meds.

Plus.. its definately an emotional, rollercoaster ride.. To some women, it probably isn't worth it.
A woman would have to go into it knowing that she is doing it to help out someone that has an unfortunate reproductive system.

And 10k. Also, even if it costs you $1000 to buy the meds, you still walk away with a cold $9000+.

Wouldn't be able to handle abstaining from sex? 😉
 
Ok, back on topic. Anyone know anything about this?

Whenever I drive, I think about how the world could be such a better place if there were more people like me out there... so I'm thinking maybe this is a way to make it happen.

I would guess it would depend on the mans race and how long it has been since the last time he had sex, so anywhere from a teaspoon to half a cup.
