Not a bad idea for Jen. Some women do this when faced with a hysterectomy due to fibroids or endometriosis. Some women who may be going through early menopause also go this route.

actaully, that is not correct. for egg donation, the gametes are extracted, fertilized, then frozen. different procedure than egg harvesting. some clinics (not too many) will do egg harvesting but many don't since the success rates are soooo poor. and most don't publish their rates (the data are not monitored and collected by the cdc as they are for other ART) because of this. i think it's a last ditch effort but very experimental.
