My Road to Becoming a Donor

When I was in college, many moons ago, donating your eggs wasn't really talked about among my peers and defiantly not something that I thought would ever be for me.  One of my best friends was the first person that I knew personally to donate her eggs and to be honest everyone, myself included, thought it was so weird. 
Fast forward seven years and one baby of my own and I was in a different place...
Well, again, I will be honest, I was in a I have a 1 year old, boyfriend got layed off, bank account was low, fridge was getting more and more empty every month, slow at work ...kind of place!  So basically the money is what pushed me to get online and email FCI to see where to begin. 
I was lucky to have a circle of friends that were all past or current donors to turn to for guidance and advice.  If you aren't this luck, don't worry we have tons of different people that are willing to educate you on the whole process and make sure that you are 100% comfortable before moving forward.  If you find that you have some initial questions, please email Melissa Braden at Melissa.Braden@integramed.com.

...more on my story later so stay tuned!
