From the "Thinking of Becoming an Egg Donor?" pamphlet (30-page booklet):

If you have had more than one sexual partner in the last six months, you are not eligible to donate eggs.
Oh, c'mon, what the fuck? What, after six months, you're free and clear of all hobag charges? Fine, so I'll put it off until December.

The program may tell you what information to collect, or they may have you work with a genetic counselor to identify:...Certain genetic disorders (such as Huntington's Disease, hemophilia...).
Piss.

Some programs match an egg donor with more than one recipient.
Bwa ha ha. Tiny Casey army.

Donors may be asked to take intelligence tests or to provide other information (essays, childhood photos, school transcripts, lists of hobbies, etc.) that will be given to possible recipients.
"Casey is smarter than you. Buy her eggs."

You will be prescribed medication to stimulate your ovaries to mature more eggs than normal. ... These medications must be injected (either under your skin or into a muscle). Treatment will start on a specific day of your cycle and continue for about ten days. You will be shown how to inject the medications. If you are unable to inject yourself reliably, you will need someone else to do it for you.
Wait what fuck no self-injections ow ow ow ow ow ow no longer sold omg money not worth that.

The eggs will be removed from your ovaries in a minor surgical procedure called transvaginal ovarian aspiration. ... Using suction, the eggs and liquid inside each follicle are removed. You may be given painkillers, sedatives, or anesthesia during the retrieval, which lasts about 30 minutes.
Can...can I have all three?

Pregnancy may not occur or may end in a miscarriage. More than half of egg donor cycles do not lead to successful pregnancies, even when embryos are formed and transferred.
...geez.

They are gonna come flying out of you.

We are going to be tripping over them all over the office.

It's all fun and games until I hide them in the gumball machine.

So theoretically, if you're producing bunches more eggs, you could have a larger chance of getting present?

I'd like to think I'd get $8,000/egg, yes. :D

Snort. I meant you yourself, with the schlong of your boyfriend.

And that was totally supposed to be "pregnant." I can't spell.

Now I have a horrible image of you chowing down on your own eggs.

I've read descriptions of what happens when you induce yourself to ovulate like a spawning fish, and it ain't pretty. One woman talked about her ovaries swelling to the size of oranges.

Oh God no I wouldn't have ANY sex when on fucking fertility drugs.

And that sets me off almost as much as the idea of giving myself injections.

The only way of sexin' me, baby, is to pay a hottie fee.

Yes, that was the mental image I was thinking of too.

It was bad enough being pregnant, whut.

Yeah, but one of my friends once had an ovarian cyst that was the size of a peach, and she is tiny and wore it well. I could handle a coupla oranges.

It was the laundry list of other 'feeling like shit' things that put me off as I recall. (Can I take a moment to hate your friend? I had a tiny one that hurt like a motherfucker and made me ill.)
