Not sure how I feel about this despite taking years to conceive my 1st and thinking I never would.

    I don't think so.

    I would be a surrogate and donate eggs. But I don't think I could donate my womb :o

    Not whilst I'm still alive. I thought about donating eggs until I read up on the procedure.
  • I would consider surrogacy for someone I knew but only with someone else's eggs, if the egg was mine I couldn't accept that someone else had my biological child.

    If it was for my sister... in a heartbeat!

    For some unknown person.. I don't know.. possibly..

    Sadly there is an age limit of 35 for egg donation because I know someone who would desperately benefit from a donation and I would gladly give.

    That's the way I meant it. Donor egg, and for a close friend or family. I don't think I could do it for a stranger, although I like to think I would... in reality i'm not so sure:o

    Having had IVF I can say that the process of egg stimulation and collection was okay and I'm a big wuss.

    I'm suprised if your paying private they wouldn't as long as both women are healthy and the eggs are good. She could go abroad they seem to do anything within reason and it's cheaper too.

    I would. I have no use for it and it would save me the faff of periods.

    Guess that is the money saving angle ;)

    I hadnt thought of it like that but I guess so:p. I more meant, I have one that as far as I know will do what it should, but will never use it for its God-given purpose, so wouldn't think twice about giving it away.
  • Absolutely not and I'm horrified at the very thought of these operations. I would be very annoyed if they became available on the NHS.
