For Journee Clayton and Yasmin Sharman, the decision to donate their eggs to help Black couples struggling to conceive was simple.
It can also be a physically and emotionally exhausting procedure. The egg donation process is made up of three parts: screening, hormonal injections and the. The screening process involves reviewing the donor’s personal and familial medical history, DNA tests, and physiological and psychological evaluations. Next, hormonal injections are administered to stimulate the donor’s ovaries to produce multiple eggs at once.
For Yasmin, the hormonal injections induced an array of physical and emotional effects, including weight gain, bloating and intense mood swings. “[My mood swings] were quite [extreme] and I can laugh about them now but it was honestly a lot,” she says. “Like I’ll be in floods of tears because an advert made me cry and I would just have to leave to a corner to cry for a minute. But it wasn't too much and was something that I could work through.
Yasmin explains that while her drastic hormonal fluctuations were a shock to her system, she kept reminding herself of the magnitude of the journey to prevent being swept up in emotion. “I had to keep saying, I'm doing this for a purpose, I'm putting hormones into my body and“The overall egg donation experience in the United Kingdom is a struggle,” Dr Edmond explains . “There is a huge demand for eggs and the supply just can’t satisfy this.
Similarly, both Yasmin and Journee agree that limited access to information is the biggest hurdle with Black egg donation in the United Kingdom.I had to do my own research to find out whether I could even donate my eggs and I’m certain there are people out there that have no idea it's even a possibility,” Yasmin says. “The process needs to be explained so that people can make their own decision. There’s obviously a lack of knowledge out there.
