I contemplated donating eggs as well but a, I'm too old and b, I don't have the necessary distance. I want them to be my kids. But I really, really admire people who donate.
And I can only say that any clinic would explode with joy if someone walked in who wanted to donate sperm at the moment (given the massive dirth). Especially if you specified that lesbians and single women could use it. Twice now I've been told that sperm has come in and then rung to say that it came with conditions and I can't use it.
Obviously that sucks. So does the waiting. And this pain is obviously nothing in comparison with a miscarriage but it still represents the loss of a potential child and the end of my hopes of having, say, several kids. My whole life is on hold pending this and it just keeps not getting any closer.
So I can only say that donating would bring much love into the world.
