Women Are Happy To Be A Donor Egg

Women Are Happy To Be A Donor Egg.
Most women who oblige as egg donors remain aware of a positive take on their experience a year later, unusual research indicates. Researchers polled 75 egg donors at the time of egg retrieval and one year later, and found that the women remained happy, dignified and carefree about their experience. "Up until now we've known that donors are by and bountiful very satisfied by their experience when it takes place," said reading lead author Andrea M Braverman, director of complementary and alternative medicine at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey in Morristown. "And now we note that for the vast majority the matter-of-fact experience persists".

Braverman and colleagues from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, NJ, were scheduled to bonus their survey findings Wednesday in Denver at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. A year after donation, the women said they not often worried about either the health or heated well-being of the children they helped to spawn. They said they only think about the donation occasionally and once in a blue moon discuss it.

The donors also reported that financial compensation was not the number-one motive for facilitating another woman's pregnancy. Rather, a thirst to help others achieve their dreams was pegged as the driving force, followed by simoleons and feeling good.

Women who said the donation process made them feel worthwhile tended to be put the show on the road to the notion of meeting their offspring when they reach adulthood. And most donors were receptive to the teaching of meeting the egg recipients and participating in a donor registry.

"These findings are only one year out, and this is part company of a five-year ongoing study," cautioned Braverman. "And life changes a lot in five years, so it'll be stimulating to see if this lasts that far out. We can't say yet. But so far we're whereas that the feelings persisted during the beginning of the journey. A year out, we're not conjunctio in view of a change in donors' experience. And that's kind of a good thing".

Linda Applegarth, kingpin of psychological services at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Medical College of Cornell University, described the deliberate over as "very useful," but expressed inadequate surprise with the findings. "I actually routinely meet with donors a year post donation, extraordinarily with donors who want to donate again," she said, noting that about 65 percent of her center's donors judge to repeat the process. "And I would say anecdotally that my experience matches the reflect on findings".

So "Many do choose to donate again because they have had a very positive experience. And in addition to whatever had motivated them to pledge in the first place, after they've donated, the experience often takes on new meaning for them, in a arbitrary way. So their motivation becomes more multi-faceted, because they really do know that they've made a difference".

Donors don't plague about the experience. "They move on with their lives. And this, I think, speaks well to the act that there are any number of us who work with donors and try to be very sensitive to them and what they're doing, and want to assemble sure that they have a good experience with the donation. We consider the donors as patients, and in that courtesy they're as important as anyone involved in the experience".

Touching on the issue of egg donation from a different perspective, a two study to be presented at the conference found that women who serve as donors have a significantly different psychological profile than women who truly provide the service of carrying a baby to term. Compared with egg donors, the called "gestational carriers," or surrogate mothers, were found to have a higher degree of "belief in human goodness" and "contentment with life," researchers from Northwestern University in Chicago found there. Carriers were also observed as having a stronger have a hunch of "social responsibility".
