well I did not expect my whole shirt to
come up what's up you guys it's Stephie
B's so today I'm gonna be talking about
why I decided to become an egg donor so
for those of you who don't know egg
donation is when you take one of your
eggs the fluids from one of your eggs
and donate it to somebody who is
infertile about a month ago I decided to
I decided that I wanted to donate my
eggs giving the gift of being able to
have a kid is like the ultimate gift I
can't think of anything better if I was
one day in those shoes where I couldn't
wear I was infertile and I couldn't have
my own kid I would be grateful to know
that there are people out there who are
willing to donate their eggs to help me
got my kid so I figured why not do the
same for whoever would need it if
something that small came I need
something so big to someone else it just
seems like nothing to me
that's why I'm donating and also people
donate because of the compensation it is
a fair amount of money honestly like at
the end of the day you're helping
somebody who wouldn't otherwise be able
to have a baby and I think that's pretty
[ __ ] dope I'm going through Utah
Fertility Center here in Utah and Utah
so pretty much what egg donation what
they do is they evaluate you do a lot of
blood work do vaginal ultrasounds which
is just a vaginal probe up your vagina
it kind of just feels like a huge tampon
some of the meds that they have me on
there's this in this document so it's
kind of big I don't know how - my mom
sorry mom
we own a Follis Tim which this is just a
man-made hormone that our body naturally
regulates and then they have me on
menopause used for treatment of
fertility
all of these are IVF which means they're
in front-row fertilization so they're
all things to help me fertilize and then
we have Jenner relics acetate which will
be a last few days before I go into
surgery so it just helps make your
ovaries you know pretty big be able to
contain a lot of eggs with this one I
can't be very physically active within
the
two days before certain because you
don't want your ovaries to get all
twisted up this is the cutest [ __ ]
you've ever seen look how cute it's a
little biohazard container a douche
for the day before surgery too you know
so if you guys decide you do want to
donate your eggs there's tons of centers
to go to if you guys go specifically to
the Utah Fertility Center there's one a
plus and girl for one in Salt Lake City
tell them that I referred you it'll help
a home girl out I'm excited for this
journey I'm excited to help a family
build their own family I'm just amazed
that I could do this see you guys a
little you ready yes okay
just nothing's anonymous anymore with
the world that we live in it's just
things have changed so today is the day
today is the egg retrieval day and I am
it's 4:30 a.m. they decided to have me
do it at 4:30 a.m. they told me to have
like 36 surgeries or something like that
that's a made-up number I'm nervous
about my friend Taylor's here she's
gonna take me there and take care of me
when
he didn't set good how long was that
just barely over 45 minutes
[Music]
cuz she's dead [ __ ] sober I want me to
have more drugs in me yeah he was like
what the he just laughed really really
don't like this drug overdose embedded
oh isn't that crazy
oh I'm so so those bottom four if you
need something to say
there's pretzels goldfish oh my god is
it the
you know what is the same thanks Candace
yeah
there's a hundred this way the doctor
definitely thought I was a drug addict
and I honestly don't even blame him
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so I thought the money that I get from
this is from the recipient that gets me
eggs they can pay to not tell some jokes
or something my viewers
[Music]
unless you come back to get more eggs
again what does the paper say it says do
not drive within that 24 hours of your
egg retrieval
it is common to have light spawning
acquiring a mini pad after the procedure
for 180 days do not for 100 days yeah a
pad for 100 days and don't use tampon
they never told me I had to use a
[ __ ] pad for 100 days
I ain't no [ __ ] grandma you
know how unattractive pads are 100 days
what the [ __ ] it is call gonna have a
light spotting or crying a mini pad
after the procedure for 100 days yeah
probably rich will get some lip
injections so ass injections please tell
me where the [ __ ]
you drop the hands to part two baby
what's up you guys it's been a whole
year since I've donated my eggs and
you're probably wondering why are you
just posting this well the answer is I
don't know what I honestly don't know
the reason some of it was because I was
scared what people would think some of
what it was because I'm lazy
but that's in the past now 2020 is
coming 2019 s coming to an end and I
need to get my [ __ ] together so I
thought what better way than to post
this video I finally got the courage to
post about it because I just I don't
know it's like it's nothing important I
think to know and a lot of people have
thought about donating their eggs or
maybe you haven't even heard of it or
maybe you've never even heard of it at
all
but it's a good way to get some extra
cash if you guys do need that money
I haven't even actually told you guys
how much I made and it's honestly not
that much a lot of people are like oh
like you can make $20,000 donating your
eggs or you can make this and this and
this amount money but I just want to let
you guys all know that's if you donate
your eggs multiple times from what I've
seen I could be wrong but from what I've
researched I got 4,000
two dollars from donating my ex at one
time the process at the beginning is
always the longest but then the other
ones are a lot quicker so if I were to
donate my eggs five times I would get
more than $20,000 I don't know I I think
it's just so much more than the money
it's now I don't really think about it
because I don't know the family who got
my eggs I don't even know if anybody has
gotten my eggs yet but the fact that I
at least did that for somebody else
means a lot people think people always
think it's a little weird when you tell
them like oh you donated your eggs and
what does that even mean I just want to
clear some things up a lot of people
think hey I don't have any more eggs to
make my own babies that's not true be
some people think that you like donated
like all of your eggs like you have no
more eggs which is the same thing as not
being able to have kids which is not
true you produce a million eggs all the
time constantly and I read somewhere I
could be wrong again don't mark my word
but I read somewhere that it says what
about one thousand of your eggs are like
fertile so not all of your eggs can have
babies obviously that's why sometimes
you have sex and you don't get pregnant
so yeah you have a certain amount of
eggs that are fertile and from those
eggs that are fertilized start to go
away as you age but since I'm at such a
young age and I was so fertile they were
able to get forty five eggs for me
which is pretty dope because that's the
most I've ever gotten but you're still
gonna be able to have kids if you don't
mean eggs so just know that I wouldn't
have had it any other way honestly I
feel like donating my eggs was something
that was really impactful for me and it
made me kind of realize maybe just
realize how grateful we should all be
for the opportunities we are given for
being able to actually produce or some
of us can't and I don't know I just
think it's awesome that we can actually
help other women create another form of
life that's that's good don't you ask me
I do want to say that I bled so much
after the surgery like it was almost
disgusting
how much I bled I don't know if that was
normal or not oh my gosh period times a
thousand the hormones are period tons of
thousand I have a really emotional
person especially on my period and so it
was just amplified by a thousand I
thought I was gonna die but here I am a
year later posting this video thank you
