it sounds pretty hardcore, I looked into it. they put you on fertility treatment for a while so they can get multiple eggs at one time, I think you're supposed to avoid sex, and no birth control of course. they put you under and harvest the eggs straight from the ovaries.... it's a lengthy procedure, and I hear it can be kinda painful. cramping afterwards and such. everything I read talked me out of it lol. men can donate genetic material so much easier!!!
