Egg donor stories

Some of Altrui’s donors keep diaries and blogs about their own experiences as egg donors. We thought it might be interesting and reassuring to read a first-hand account of what it is like to donate eggs, so have added some links for you here:

Two of our donors, Jilly and Sam, added their writings to Altrui’s website, so their accounts can be found under our news/blog section or through the links below.

Sam is a multiple egg donor. These links will take you through the story of her first experience as a donor:

• Introduction
• Tests Begin
• Testing Times
• Initial Injections
• More Injections
• Egg Collection
• The Result

Jilly - one of our early egg donors, also wrote her experiences down for our blog. Click on one of the links below to read what she had to say:

• Introduction
• Preparation
• Time to Start
• All Systems Go
• IUD Removed
• Start of the Cycle
• Egg Donation Drugs
• Injections
• Ready for Egg Collection
• Egg Collection
• Afterwards

Other Altrui donors who have written their own blogs, include:

Kirsty’s Blog

Talita’s Blog

Gemma’s Blog

If you have been an Altrui egg donor and would like to share your experience with others, we would be delighted to post your story here.
