Egg Donation from the Egg Donor’s Point of View

Sometimes trying to have a child using your own eggs can be dangerous or impossible – this is where an egg donor comes in. We hear a lot about egg donation from the clinical perspective or from the intended parents, but what is the process like for the egg donor? 

Holly Smith has donated her eggs to six different families. In today’s episode, she shares the physical and emotional aspects of her journey, recounts her own fertility experience, and stresses the importance and beauty in providing joy for others trying to conceive. 

Guest: Holly Smith, Progyny Patient Care Advocate
