for the benefit of those who don't know:
Assisted reproduction refers to a number of advanced techniques that aid fertilization. These techniques are often used for women who have irreversible damage to their fallopian tubes or cervical mucous problems. It can also benefit couples with unexplained infertility. Some of these techniques include In Vitro fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Insertion (ICSI), Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT), Gamete Intrafallopian Tube Transfer (GIFT), etc.

Now, whether it is a question of female or male factor infertility (cus it so happens that its not every time that the cause of infertility is due to a defect or abnormality in the female!), assisted reproduction can help couples to expe rience parenthood without necessarily leading to break up of the marriage.

The basic definition of infertility is: the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of intercourse without the use of contraceptives.

Most infertility results from physical problems in a man or woman's reproductive system.
About 35 percent of all cases of infertility arise from problems in the man's system.
About 35 percent arise from abnormalities in the woman's system.
About 20 percent of the time, the man and woman both have fertility problems.
In 10 percent of cases, no cause can be found.
Age often increases the risk of infertility.

Infertility can be caused by poor sexual or lifestyle habits that are easily remedied.
For example, the couple may be using a sexual lubricant that interferes with the survival of the man's sperm. Or, they may not be having sex often enough. Other easily treated illnesses or lifestyle habits that may contribute to infertility are:
Heavy use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
Starvation diets or anorexia in the woman.
Tight underwear or pants in the man, which raises the crotch temperature and reduces sperm count.
Stress. In a woman, this may cause her periods to be irregular. In a man, stress may reduce his sperm count.

Some of these problems can be resolved with medical treatment or lifestyle changes, such as wearing boxer shorts, avoiding a sexual lubricant, or trying some simple stress reduction methods such as physical exercise or relaxation techniques.
Changing the timing of sex and the couple's sexual techniques may also increase the chance of pregnancy. Sometimes the semen from the man fails to reach the woman's cervix. Placing a pillow under the woman's hips after intercourse may help prevent spillage of semen.
However, these approaches may not work for some couples and they may need to go through assisted reproduction.
Which takes me back to my original question:
Would any female be interested in donating some of her eggs to infertile women who have problems in conceiving???

Is there any compensation for donating eggs?
There is financial compensation for committing time and energy to donating eggs to help an infertile couple, and also satisfaction derived from knowing that one has been able to touch another person's life positively.
