Donating sperm is pretty easy. Donating eggs requires some hospital approving you, injecting yourself daily with fertility drugs with unknown long-term effects, making really sure you don’t get pregnant while you’re super-fertile and can’t use normal birth control, a 5% risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and people poking around inside you with a big needle (possibly puncturing something while it’s in there). I would be more likely to consider it if the health risks didn’t make my husband so nervous.
