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'm sure there is a screening and selection process. I'm most definately sure that donating sperm isn't just a "stop and drop" service such as donating blood.
First off, there has to be a couple where the male partner is inadequate (low count, mobility, etc..).

Probably involves a health screening, psych. evaluation and and I'm sure there would be some legal paperwork involved.
Then, your sperm would have to be desirable.. Basically, would a husband want his wife's egg fertilized with "Joe Schmo" from McDonalds' sperm, or a Nobel Prize winner's sperm?

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.

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....

That sounds like it sucks, but I mean, 10K.. Come on..

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+.

Don't the lab pays all the testing/drugs/operation costs in the donation case?

You have to be very successful/educated/good looking for them to pay you for your donation. Since there is no one like that on ATOT, this thread is worthless.

I once watched a documentary on lesbians raising children. The two chicks were dumb and ugly. They went through the process of picking out a donor and were trying to decide between the doctor and the lawyer, etc. etc... Basically no one's gonna pick a random loser.

Yes, they do. And for the ones I've seen you are covered under their medical insurance for OB/GYN related stuff while you are donating. Airfare/hotel/food for two (donator and one supporter) are covered too if you have to fly in.

$10000 is really high though, all the ones I've read have suggested more in the range of about $5000. Of course if you turn out to be a good candidate and a good egg provider it goes up with subsequent donations since there is a better chance that your egg still "stick".

My gf has been looking into it, BS in science/math, varisty athelete, blond, blue eyes, no family history of genetic diseases. $5000 isn't life changing but it's enough to pay off a good portion of her loans, plus she would be helping someone out.

As for sperm donation, I haven't done it but I've read about it. I think the most famous bank is the one in Aarhus in Denmark, some good tall blond stock there. If you aren't highly educated or on the path to a professional degree, atheletic, handsome, tall, etc, you aren't going to be making a whole lot of money these days. Plus the added worry of your "child" tracking you down (there was an article about a kid who used internet search engines to track down his sperm donor).

Well since you are already married no need to worry about the abstaining from sex part

What they don't tell you about is the complications from the procedure... I heard a story of a young woman who made something like $30K over 4 or 5 donations. On her last donation, there were complications and she may not be able to have children herself.

Yeah. One of the articles that I came across was by some woman who did it 12 times or something over her college and grad school years, she did pay for school and grad school but warned that too many young women were going into it without thinking or researching the possible consequences. Then again the probability of something going wrong during an egg donation is probably a lot less than some of the things people do in college

 

[homestarmy]

I'll take one of those women who can't have kids because she sold all of her eggs and needs a man to help her spend her cash... sign me up!

You are one of those annoying slow drivers that always drives in the left lane and never uses your turn signal, etc, I presume?

I think it would be wierd to know that you might have a kid somewhere, but not know for sure.

[TheCanuck]

Donating in 5..4..3..2...:shocked:

 

[Bryophyte]

No, I have never donated sperm.
