Until now, very little is known about the potential long-term health risks of ovarian stimulation. We also know little about how egg donors feel about their experience, or what information they wish they had received at the time. Two researchers (a physician and the mother of a donor-conceived son, are seeking to get a better understanding of how egg donation affects women as time goes on, as we know of no medical studies or formal research on this topic. Please, take a look at this survey I found and tell your friends who have donated as well about it. Based on the replies, they hope to write an article for a scientific journal. Your answers will be kept anonymous, as they will only share the collective data, and no one¹s personal information. The survey results will be valuable in pushing the medical community to further investigate how egg donation physically and emotionally affects women who donate. The questions should only take a few minutes to answer. To access the survey, clink on the link below: http://www.donorsiblingregistry.com/DSRblog/index.php Thank you so much for reading this post. If you, a donor, fill out this survey we can better protect those who want to share the precious gift of life and joy with other women.
