You can easily hear people saying: \u201cOh yeah, no need to tell these fairy-tales to me! Money is the only motivation they have!\u201d Partly, these people are right as&nbsp;financial benefit is always something that&nbsp;we would love to get. You are supposed to be encouraged. But&nbsp;if employers pay to their staff more, nobody can guarantee that&nbsp;people work better. The same phenomenon appears in&nbsp;egg donation programme.<\/p>\n<p>Lying on&nbsp;the gynecological chair in&nbsp;the operating room, with a catheter for&nbsp;general anesthesia in&nbsp;your vein, the last thing you think about is money. You need something to grab hold, some serious reason to be here.<\/p>\n<p>And&nbsp;believe me, many donors have their <a href=\"\/egg-donors\/#Why-egg-donors-come-to-us\">special reason to donate their eggs<\/a>.\u00a0This reason can be very intimate, private, and&nbsp;sometimes, they do not share it even&nbsp;with their family, friends, or&nbsp;coordinators. Of course, compensation is beneficial. Every young mother knows what she can do with this sum: to buy a new mountain bike for&nbsp;her son, to go with her daughter to the Russian seaside, to pay for&nbsp;language courses or&nbsp;for&nbsp;the surgery of her grandmother at&nbsp;a private clinic. But&nbsp;the main motivation is always hidden deep inside.<\/p>\n<h2>What secret inner motivation a donor can have?<\/h2>\n<h3>Own children born too early<\/h3>\n<p>No matter what happened, was it just unplanned pregnancy with her boyfriend or&nbsp;she and&nbsp;her young husband married at&nbsp;20 and&nbsp;had a beautiful picture of ideal family in&nbsp;their mind, this child became a surprise, a shock and&nbsp;a challenge. How could that&nbsp;be? It screams all night long, and&nbsp;she has to be there, breastfeeding, crying together with this fragile creature, changing diapers and&nbsp;OMG, when&nbsp;her smiling friend is going to a party wearing gorgeous dress, she stays with this milky T-shirt on, feeling as&nbsp;a milk factory. Too early\u2026. It was too early. She didn\u2019t have enough time to live for&nbsp;herself, to enjoy her hobbies, travelling, meeting new people. What if&nbsp;even this baby\u2019s father is just a \u201cwrong guy\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Those ladies who&nbsp;gave birth early, sincerely believe that&nbsp;planning family after&nbsp;40, women will be amazing mothers! When&nbsp;you enjoyed your life, rose all possible heights, and&nbsp;now&nbsp;feel that&nbsp;you are ready <a href=\"\/patients-stories\/\">to give birth to a new life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This motivation says: \u201cI did it in&nbsp;a wrong way and&nbsp;now&nbsp;I want to help others to do it in&nbsp;the right way\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Own children became real joy and&nbsp;love<\/h3>\n<p>Some women just do not think about the meaning of maternity before&nbsp;childbirth. Spontaneous pregnancy comes and&nbsp;a young mother realizes that&nbsp;this is a sheer miracle. After&nbsp;childbirth, when&nbsp;she sees her child on&nbsp;her breast, she starts feeling something completely new \u2013 maternal love. And&nbsp;this love covers her like a wave. She can not understand how she lived without her dearest treasure!<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting about infertility in&nbsp;this case, awakes a huge empathy. When&nbsp;such young mother finds out about women struggling with infertility due to ovarian factor, she\u2019s ready to support. Of course, she has to consider all pros and&nbsp;cons in&nbsp;advance and&nbsp;get educated in&nbsp;this field, but&nbsp;her motivation says: \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to live without children, they are the only sense of life! Every woman should feel the same as&nbsp;I feel being a mother!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>After&nbsp;artificial termination of pregnancy<\/h3>\n<p>Grieving process of an extremely fertile woman can be resulted in&nbsp;donation programme. She feels that&nbsp;it was a wrong step, but&nbsp;she just could not keep this pregnancy. Husband said: \u00abTwo kids are more than&nbsp;enough\u201d or&nbsp;was it just a boyfriend that&nbsp;she met 6 months after&nbsp;divorce, and&nbsp;both understand that&nbsp;they are not ready to create a family together. Artificial termination of healthy pregnancy is a very sad experience, some women feel guilty and&nbsp;they would love to redeem themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Friends struggling with infertility<\/h3>\n<p>More often these days very young women and&nbsp;young couples face the fact of infertility. Sometimes, years pass trying without success and&nbsp;close friends share this pain and&nbsp;devastation. Seeing these women suffering even&nbsp;once&nbsp;is enough to get a huge desire of being involved and&nbsp;supporting them. Our potential egg donor sees her friend\u2019s tears, disappointment after&nbsp;every embryo transfer but&nbsp;feel unable to help her personally because&nbsp;it is not always easy to accept an egg from someone that&nbsp;you know well. This personalized gift can become a burden. Egg donation programme at&nbsp;the clinic may become a decent alternative in&nbsp;that case.<\/p>\n<h3>Infertility due to male factor<\/h3>\n<p>In&nbsp;love, young and&nbsp;ready to create a new life, a couple starts their way to parenthood and&nbsp;fails conceiving naturally. After&nbsp;having all tests done, they see that&nbsp;sperm quality is not sufficient and&nbsp;IVF or&nbsp;ICSI is the only way to become parents. The loving woman supports her partner and&nbsp;together they reach their goal, a healthy child. Now&nbsp;she knows what IVF and&nbsp;ICSI means, they even&nbsp;discussed sperm donation as&nbsp;plan B. She met different people with different scenarios of IVF rounds on&nbsp;her way and&nbsp;she knows for&nbsp;sure that&nbsp;female infertility is even&nbsp;harder. Some women need <a href=\"\/introduction-into-egg-donation-concept\/\">donor eggs<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0She can definitely say that&nbsp;once&nbsp;she has a chance, she will donate her eggs to those people who&nbsp;need only this element to create their strong and&nbsp;loving complete family.<\/p>\n<p>All in&nbsp;all, every woman has her own inner reason to go through the stimulation and&nbsp;egg retrieval, to wake up after&nbsp;anesthesia with a feeling of reborn person, an egg donor.<\/p>\n<p><em>Valeria Sergeeva<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talking about motivation in egg donation programme is always vulnerable.
