    15. Is it still possible to donate eggs if i have had my tubes tied following my last child? - Anonymous - Top

    Having your tubes tied will in no way effect your ability to be an egg donor. I had my tubes tied in 1992 after the birth of my third daughter. My first egg donation was in 1994, and the second in 1996. The procedure does not involve using your tubes, but instead an ultrasound guided needle is inserted through the uterine wall to aspirate the eggs from your ovaries on both sides during a donation.

    Good Luck!
