I don't like injections so that has always been a big thing to hold me back when I have thought about it before. Really I don't know if I will pass the screening process, they are asking me about things like how many tattoos and body piercings do you have so that is a fun question.

I do feel that while mood swings and such are absolutely a risk, you also don't see any articles about how egg donation universally causes the crazies. There are risks to every process. There are a lot of steps before I think any medication and such would be administered, there is this giant form online I have to fill out, then I meet them and they look at me in person, then I have to see a psychologist as well, and then after that the process would start. I don't think it would be difficult for me to get kicked out at any step. I might as well get closer to it before I say "eff it." I have researched egg donation and considered it on and off for several years.

I do not think it is a thing that could hurt me long term. With all hope I am leaving this job in a year anyway.

I wonder, if I did experience a lot of emotional issues, if there is a program my work offers that might allow me to take some time off. I don't know. Looking into it.
