I used a donor who on paper was no Einstein. NO degree--yet my son is incredibly bright. He is scoring in the 95th percentile on all the standardized national tests (Gifted testing). He was reading at 2. So my point is, you can't really know what your kid will be like based on that.

Honestly just read to your newborn and give them lots of love and attention they will be plenty bright regardless of the egg donors education level.

This is what it comes down to.

There’s a certain level of desperation and poverty needed to motivate women to donate eggs. It’s a painful and long process with negative health consequences for the donor. Plus it could adversely affect her ability to have her own children in the future. I had a lot of student loans as an undergrad and seriously considered it, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. Now that I’m older and I have my own children, I’m so relieved I didn’t. I would hate to have my children’s half siblings raised by strangers.


So, wealthy donor recipients actually exploit young, poor egg donors. Wealthy women had always exploited poor women throughout history - slavery, paid domestic help, manual laborers, nannies, even their poor neighbors and less fortunate friends. It goes to show that women are not other women' best friends. Wealthy woman does not have a poor woman's best interest at heart. That much for feminism.


You sound like a very angry....man.


Nope. Perfectly calm...woman... I studied history.

Look - If egg donation were a thing when I was in college, I would have totally done it. The financial incentive is huge for a student - in college or not. I was at a very selective school on partial scholarship and I still could have used the money. Tuition is expensive and I did not come from money. I was working 2 part time jobs to help cover the costs. I would have gladly been compensated for donating my eggs instead.


Since you use the term "in college" I'm assuming you mean as an undergrad--which means you would not have had a degree, and would have been undesirable according to OP's standards.


by college, I mean undergrad and by "very selective" I mean MIT. For what its worth, I did graduate undergrad and grad for that matter. When I was in undergrad, I was hurting for cash. The compensation from egg donation would have been nice.

This is OP. SGF has a category called "Some college...did not complete". i.e., the donor did not graduate. These donors are typically mid-late 20's. I would be perfectly fine with college students.

specifically regarding the shady grove pool, generally the more desirable fresh donors are in the 1:1 or 1:2 groups rather than the 1:3. that includes conventional attractiveness as well as education. also, you have to look frequently and be ready to pull the trigger. I saw desirable donors get booked and gone in hours, before i'd even sent the link to my spouse, while others would sit for weeks.

The one person I know who donated her eggs came from money, but I think she wanted to be able to maintain her lifestyle post-college without tapping her trust fund too much. Her fancy internship wouldn't have allowed her to do that on her own.
