Let’s Talk About Eggs, Baby! Being a Four-Time Egg Donor with Kristi
02/21/24 • 35 min
We’ve had *a lot* of sperm talk these past few weeks, so we’re more than ready to explore the other side of the equation — eggs! This week we sit down with four-time (yes, you read that right) egg donor Kristi, who opens up about her experience with candor and humor.
Listen in to learn about:
- Why a woman might choose to donate her eggs (hint: it’s not just about the money)
- The physical demands of being an egg donor
- Making the choice to not have kids
- The surprises you might face on 23andMe
