Egg donor blog

I’m 19 years old. My family has a history of prostate cancer, alcoholism, and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but no longer need to take medication for it. I’m a pale, blue-eyed, blond haired girl- 5′2″, 130 lbs, 3.9 GPA in high school, going to college next fall…ballerina, singer, and actress. Am I good enough to be an egg donor?

Unfortunately, becoming an egg donor has less to do with whether you’re good enough, and more about whether your genes are good enough.  I’m sure you’re amazing, and beautiful and intelligent, BUT, everything else you mentioned that is associated with your medical/genetic history is a very clear red-flag for prospective parents.  I touched on this when I was asked about cancer running in the family a few months back.  Read my post, and see if it helps clear anything up for you.  Good luck!
