Your regrets and suffering are in the gym building their muscles for impact of your life.

Wait for it. Esau story will be better than yours.

May a God fearing man never meet you, may you meet your kind.

Yesterday, I finally underwent the egg collection procedure. I don't have much to say about it because the memory is kinda fuzzy and the eggs retrieval process itself issa blur. I just remember being taken into the egg collection room, meeting the doctor (Not my crush, Margret Thatcher incarnate angry - she was kinda friendly sha). She inserted the IV on my right arm and the nurse put my left arm in the blood pressure machine. After the anaesthetic started taking effect, I started slipping in and out of consciousness and felt when the doctor was pricking my ovaries with the long needle, it hurt just as when I injected my skin. Anyways, I started coming around when the doctor said that was all of it and the nurse told her they had gotten eight containers of fluids. I remember when she helped me up and I asked her if they were done already and she replied in the affirmative. The whole thing didn't take more than thirty minutes like even my sister that escorted me agreed. I also remember asking the nurse how many eggs they were able to collect but she said they would know after the embryologist has examined the fluids. I got to the recovery room and slept off immediately. I woke up probably an hour later and most of the fuzzy feeling was gone. I was discharged a few minutes later after the nurse confirmed I wasn't feeling dizzy or nauseous. She gave me instructions on the drugs to take and told me I may feel a lot of pain after the pain meds wear off.

I felt really weak on the journey home and felt the urge to sit down. When we got to the bus/stop, I had sunstroke and had to whip on my shades to shield my eyes from the suddenly harsh sun. We eventually made it home and I slept off almost immediately. I had a long rest but woke up feeling constipated, must be one of the drugs they gave me (they advised me to drink lots of fluids and I'm still on it)

After 24 hours of rest and drinking lots of water, I'm feeling better and I've been able to pass out faecal matter. I didn't feel the pain the nurse said I would feel so the stash of panadol they gave me will last me for period cramps for the rest of the year.

On a whole, I think the entire experience has been rather painless, considering most of the scary stories I read online. But note, I didn't narrate this to down play some of the negatives other donors have encountered, I'm only telling this from my experience. I think the good experience I had is thanks to the doctors who knew the best protocol for me and used it. My pain threshold is medium so if you're like me, you won't be overly scared of injections.

I received my alert today and can't wait for the next cycle coming up in May/June.


PS: To those it may concern
Only females get paid at least a 100k and above for one egg donation cycle in Nigeria. To the males, remuneration goes from 5-10k depending on the sperm quality.


As the layer hen wey you be na.....hahahah. I go need 40 crates how e go b? I feel someone is trying to sell an idea to Nigerians which is not common. have you thought of the long run implication of your action if at all its true? 100k at the moment seems cool sha.

So sad, cos over in the western world they pay these people about $ 8000 for a first time and $ 10,000 for consequent ones.

Hope it doesn't affect your fertility on the long run cos there's babies we need to have.

This world would be a better place when we all admit we are interdependent. Females are paid more because the procedure is much more invasive and the eggs take longer to produce, not to mention the fact that egg production is limited. Those facts drive prices higher than male seminal fluids.

I just have the desire to make a lot of money before 2018 runs out.

I intend to raise more money for my business by donating my ova (eggs).

I don't mind selling my eggs if that will get me what I want, that's the point I'm at this year and I want to do the utmost I can to help myself. With this wretched economy, nobody will give me 100k even if I tell them it's a loan and I hear that's how much some egg donors are paid in Nigeria. I just hope I go through with it.

Wao!


You are amazing!

...I hope that amount would suffice for your business need

If guys rate can be increased to 15k it will be fair.

15*4 times a month = 60k

60k - 10k for supplements = 50k

Monthly income = 50k.


Nice venture.

Yesterday was Valentine's day and it was really boring tbh. I didn't get gifts and I didn't see anybody getting either. Anyways, yesterday, I went for another transvaginal scan at the clinic and the people I met were more helpful than the ones I've been meeting so far. They were easier and more fun to approach and ask questions. First was Nurse C, the hilarious Igbo nurse I met on the first day I came to submit my first test results. Her sense of humour was wonderful and she told me how many egg follicles I had when I asked. For the scan, there was Dr S, I dunno whether his being genial was part of easing the atmosphere of being a female patient with a male on/gym but he was really friendlier and warmer than the Margret Thatcher female doctor I've been meeting. He answered my question on why I started super ovulation without down regulation (ie short protocol). I stood a risk of OHSS if I'd been down regulated and super ovulated (ie long protocol). So I did short protocol with less injections and hormonal therapy because of my body. It was really nice to know they had my interest at heart, they were not just after my eggs but watching out for me. I think I'll do all my egg donations at this clinic just because of this. As to my body, my ovaries are cooperating with me, just fine. My left ovary didn't react too much to the super ovulation but my right reacted just fine and they both produced a nice number of egg follicles. One thing I've really been scared of throughout this whole cycle is maturing too much eggs. I didn't want to feel any form of pain or discomfort and I'm getting that with this short protocol. No much use of injections, just thirteen days with the trigger shot on the 13th day. I didn't overreact to the drugs and judging from the afc (antral follicles count, 22), I didn't under react either.

So I'm healthy fit and fine and I hope my eggs are the answer to someone's prayer.
........You are a brave girl

Eggs get produced every month. If she doesn't donate it they die every month and get wasted. Why not give out what you are not using to someone who doesn't have? They didn't take her ovaries, she still has about 30*12 eggs to produce given her age before menopause and she's only going to use max 4-8 for herself. The rest die unless she gives them out. Stop being judgemental. No one's regretting anything here.
