\"DC<\/p>\n

August is Women\u2019s Month in South Africa, which commemorates the 20\u00a0000 women<\/p>\n

who marched to the Union Buildings in 1956 to protest\u00a0the extension of Pass Laws to women.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Women\u2019s Month has grown to celebrate strong women from all walks of life \u2013 and we just so happen to think that our donors are some of the most amazing women of all!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still on the fence about donating, here are four reasons to consider donating.<\/p>\n

You can (literally) make someone\u2019s dream come true<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many of Nurture\u2019s recipients, the decision to use donor eggs is another step in an often incredibly difficult journey to become a parent. By donating your healthy, beautiful eggs to a person who needs them, you could help them to achieve their dream of becoming a parent.<\/p>\n

You will have the best ice-breakers <\/strong><\/p>\n

Trust us, we\u2019ve used the \u201cI\u2019m an egg donor\u201d fun fact more often than we can count! Apart from the fact that it\u2019s a great conversation starter, it is also a way to start getting other people to think about issues around infertility and LGBTQ+ parenting (particularly if you have donated to a gay couple or a single gay parent), as well as conversations about reproductive health.<\/p>\n

You learn AMAZING things about your own body<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you go through the egg donation process, you will get to learn some pretty mind-blowing stuff about your own body, your own fertility and your menstrual cycle. You will have access to some of the best doctors and nurses in the fertility industry, so ask EVERY question you can think of.<\/p>\n

After doing a donor cycle, you\u2019ll almost certainly never look at your body the same way.<\/p>\n

You will feel like a superwoman<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have truly given one of the most generous gifts that a woman can give \u2013 and this is something for you to look back on with pride later in your life.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, you are someone\u2019s superwoman.<\/p>\n

So, what are you waiting for? Click here<\/a> to get started!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
