After a while, I stopped thinking about becoming an egg donor. I had all the paperwork, and even made some calls. I just never got around to filling out the forms because, well, at the time I was looking for a job. Now I have a job and with less free time, submitting myself to a hand full of screenings, pokings, and proddings isn't on my radar for things to do with my free time.
Life can be serendipitous sometimes. Today I was chatting with a woman in the gym locker room (she and I both go to the same workout class) about our metabolisms, and the conversation turned toward aging. She mentioned she and her husband had been trying to concieve for a long time, and had even tried IVF. Then she said they were looking for a donor. I told her I'd considered becoming one. We talked, and I think there may be some mutual interest in pursuing it. If I'm going be an egg donor, now is the time. If it doesn't happen, I'm glad, at least, I reassured her that normal people want to be donors too.**
**If I may be permitted to call myself "normal."

Please name yourself when you leave comments, anonymous commenting is rude. (Choose "other" from the options in the comment box.)
She *could* do that, but it is no more my place to tell her what to do than to tell someone they shouldn't get an abortion. It's her choice and she's doing what she feels is right for her. That's good enough for me.
