It's honestly mostly about what medicine you take and what your family's history has been with illnesses that are mostly inherited. You could always book a meeting and talk with them.

me being like : okay, I think I wouldn't be allowed because of my recurring ovarian cysts
also me: i have not even half an ovary left, as if I could do it either way

I think as long as the hormones are ok and ur fertility is ok, it shouldn't matter if u have cysts or not, but I have no idea tbh

half an ovary left is a different problem tho lol

yeah, thrombosis's a bitch, can't take so many meds due to that ahaha, and yes I did, I got a lot of compliments from the lady that was in charge of the organization I went to though and she said I was an accomplished young woman who has done so much for my age (was 20 at that timeso like almost 3 years ago) and that was nice I won't lie ahaha

oof great reaction mom xD
mine said that it's a shame I'm giving it away and not having em myself PFF

It's honestly the best thing about this - you kind of have children, but not any of the irritating parts of it.
Ooof, that really sounds like a bitch as well. It hopefully doesn't affect your daily life too much. But very nice lady!

Your mom should just have been happy about the lack of crying phonecalls and babysitting duties.

But I guess that's how it is. Every parent is different.

Do u already have contact with any of them?

Srry lmao this stuff interesting to me bc my future kids would b from sperm donors

Not yet! I'm a semi-anonymous donor (i think that's what it's called at least) so they get my information from the clinic when they turn 18 and not before, so there's still some years left. I chose not to do it openly, because I know how terrible the teenage phase can be, and I was worried I would end up in the middle of it. Also, I had just entered a relationship, and if we got any children later on, I would feel more comfortable about my children not bringing home a partner that shared some similarities with me, without being able to verify whether they shared genes or not.

It's honestly really interesting to see how different people feel about donations, because the donors, the children and the people who received the donation all have very different ideas of the thoughts of the other people.

Hormone treatment can give you some terrible cysts I think? That's at least one of the things they really check up on when you go to the clinic while on hormone treatment.

it is aaaaa, no crying no puking mm
it is but it's manageable, only long flights or travels I need blood thinners and more small stuff

AHAHA maybe xD and ye parents are each unique in parenting style and well, them as a person

Truue !! omg. Most of my friend group are slowly becoming pregnant, and I do not envy them.
Aaah, well that's good at least !

Hopefully she isn't giving you too hard of a time with not wanting children either.

yesss babies can be cute... from afar... km away from me xD
and yes same a friend of mine had her second child and meanwhile I'm just like

eh I honestly could not care less about it

half an ovary left is a different problem tho lol

thing is, it's difficult to determine wether I would be fertile or not, because there is no hormonal reason for the cysts (it's the kind that becomes cancer 1 out of 4, which is why after I had my thrid cyst, the doctors were very set on removing the ovary that has been affected the most)
but considering how my hormone levels are rather weird, it's very likely I never could have had children either way

like I had my surgery and ovary removal when I was 21 and the doctor was like: if you are serious about having your own kids, try for two years, afterwards, it's no promise because the ovary you have left is already really small (it had to get cut down a bit from other cyst surgeries)
so considering I'm now 26 and my period has been starting to get like my mum's period when she was starting menopause ... I do not feel optimistic

Children are cute if they are sleeping and not within touching distance.

I always wonder why people get more than one from my limited experience with babies.

Ah that's good! Just know a few people that went no contact with their parents due to nagging.

yes, there's two types of cysts, functional (hormon affected) and non-functional (which is mostly just abnormal growths, endometriosis or cancer and those can't get affected by hormones)

actually, having "cysts" on your ovaries is pretty normal, since the ovum riping to get impregnated would be considered a cyst. (which is easier to understand if you know what PCOS or just PCO is, because those are the two most common reasons for functional cysts)

Aj,, I know my mom has pcos and cysts too (idk if she did anything with them tbh) and usually it can be hard to get pregnant then because the hormones are weird and stuff, but then she had 4 kids before she turned 30 so it is what it is lol

I read abt horror stories where ppl get sterilized (?) tho and then they still get pregnant ,, just wtf,

yeah, that's hormonal cysts, but those are not the kind I have, so in theory (haha) my hormones are "normal" - but if I've learned anything, normal does not exist

well, when it comes to sterilisation, there's a few things in mind
if you sterilise a man, you just sew shut or cut through the tubes (same for a woman in most cases, but for women it's so much more difficult) and if there's someone not being 110% vigilant, then there can be openings in those seams and sperm and ovum can still get through
so, pregnancy
additionally to that, when you look at sterilisation on ovaries, those still leave open the possibilities for ectropian (?????? like when the foetus doesn't go into the womb but decides next to the bladder surrounded by intestines is the place to be) pregnancies. Very rare though. If that happens, go buy a lottery ticket!

but then there's also castration (which can be done to women and rarely gets done to men because of the optics) where you either remove the testes, the ovaries and/or the womb. In that case, no pregnancy possible at all, never

also, never forget that people can be unfaithful

but there was this documentary on Netflix about botched surgeries where they had an example of this supposedly temporary devide that would get inflated inside the fallopian tubes and thus prevent pregnancy but those would often rupture the tissue and then still pregnancy ensued
it's a generally difficult topic even without the added bonus of humankind just refusing to talk about reproduction like the grown-ass adults we are

Yee here they're all like that mostly as far as I know, I do know anonymous donations aren't allowed here anymore and I'm glad about that. But after doing like more research I feel like I'd prefer for them to just be able to contact as soon as they would want to and not have to wait til 18. Cause I'm rlly like eeeee I don't wanna feel like I'm keeping info from them or something?
I think ideally it'd be via a good friend bc then I also just know the person n he could just be more of an uncle figure or whatever? but then at the same time those situations can get messy too 😔
Makes me feel very jealous of cishets lol

No. I considered, but talked it through with a friend who was very active on gsm and would've sold her kidney to get the website back when it closed down, and she found a lot of things she didn't like with the campaign and we just agreed to hold each other accountable on spending money on it.
