6/17/2008 5:00:35 PM

Where did you get this info from? I want to do something like this to make a little extra cash, but not with that knowledge. Are there any that are clean around the area?

7/15/2008 9:04:08 PM

is it really donating is you're getting paid for it?

7/15/2008 9:06:07 PM

Donate some fatma instead

7/15/2008 9:07:52 PM

slave, i heard the egg donating thing is painful and shit, so probably some kinda surgical procedure

I donated there a couple times, just bring a good book.

7/15/2008 9:08:58 PM

Get a job, fatty

7/15/2008 9:12:18 PM

If you're talking to me, I have a job, but what's wrong with getting a little money on the side? I'm also a ChemE so I don't have the time of these other "majors" to work at these other jobs and do well. But once I'm out in May I won't have to worry about that. I just wanted some extra cash easily.

7/15/2008 9:32:40 PM

it begins

7/15/2008 9:33:13 PM

Donating eggs is a surgical procedure. Usually takes a month to "prep" and a few days to recover. It's a small incision done with a needle, but an incision nonetheless. The needle extracts the eggs via ultrasound. Since you're on a super hormone drug for the month before, you'll have produced 15-18 eggs more than normal.

7/15/2008 9:36:35 PM

I don't know about y'all but I get my eggs from a chicken's vent.

7/15/2008 9:47:42 PM

they pay pretty good for that shit though

i'd probably do it if i was a chick

on a related note: how much do they pay you at a sperm bank? i think i could handle having a little river rat running around somewhere

7/15/2008 9:50:17 PM

I'm not tall enough to donate sperm

Oh, and get a job anyway you whiner. You're a sophomore. If you're so hard up for time right now that you can't manage a weekend shift bagging groceries at a store, you're going to be fucked senior year.

And with that out of the way, ALIAS!

7/15/2008 9:55:20 PM

I worked at Galaxy through my last year in ChemE (and I also had a second major)

it's not so bad working for money, you know

wtf

Why would I be talking to you?

7/15/2008 10:03:23 PM

Yeah, I've heard that donating eggs is really painful for women. Plus, imagine how crazy a superhormoned-up woman could be...

7/15/2008 10:05:37 PM

I am a senior. I just don't touch my profile here really.

7/15/2008 10:18:48 PM

i will never need money enough

7/15/2008 10:19:49 PM

senior status does not a non-noob make

7/15/2008 10:21:24 PM

I'm a senior in college!

I'm on top of the world!

7/15/2008 10:25:04 PM

7/15/2008 10:26:29 PM

So

Anyone gonna offer up some at least plausibly credible details about the safety issues that were once referenced in this thread?

8/11/2008 5:24:02 PM

i didnt feel like reading this whole thing but the one on maiden lane is fine, its clean and no diseases. just takes forever and you have to put up with all the retard homeless carolina fans in there

8/11/2008 5:36:17 PM

lol at Tim

8/11/2008 5:55:46 PM

Gary looks like the guy from Quantum Leap in that pick.

8/11/2008 6:00:44 PM

actuallly the one on maiden lane is closed you have to go to Talecris on new bern ave

maiden lane was a shithol with shit employees


the talecris one actually gives you powerade and crackers before and after your donation, it seems quicker (or has less fuckin bums and crackheads) has a plasma tv and like 50 tvs on the donor floor, better staff MORE PARKING

and i swear its cleaner and the collection equipment seeems less antiquated, and they check up on you all the time

no shame in my game, i donate plasma because i am on the special donor program (high antibodies..at least i was at maiden lane) so i got 55 bucks EACH donation

my first donation at talecris was this past saturday and im givin my next donation tomorrow morning so hopefully my antibodies are stil high enough to be put back on the special donor program

"is it really donating is you're getting paid for it? "

technically if you read the literature they provide they arent paying you for your donation they are compensating you for the time....take that for what its worth

My son requires plasma derived infusions on a monthly basis to keep him healthy. Even if you are being paid for your donation, we thank you for giving.

8/11/2008 9:29:09 PM

i mean i started doin it i was like whatever i just thought it was for transfusions and shit

but that stuff is really important, makin medicines mainly for children is pretty awesome

8/11/2008 9:30:55 PM

It requires the antibodies of 20,000 people to make up the product that my son receives. That is a lot of giving.

8/11/2008 9:34:39 PM

how does height matter in sperm donations

8/11/2008 9:35:04 PM

women do not want shorties to be their baby's daddy

8/11/2008 9:35:25 PM

how tall do you have to be? i'm gonna guess at least 5'9"

8/11/2008 9:36:19 PM

ha. shit was on Manswers.

Quote :

"To sum it up, Manswers informed me that sperm banks look for qualified candidates (MUST have a bachelor's degree, as well as being a minimum of 5'9", and test negative for any STDs/STIs, or HIV or AIDs), and that if you are qualified, they take a sample of your sperm, and freeze it for 6 months. They do this to allow time to see if the sperm develops HIV, and to make sure you have enough sperm/your sperm are strong enough to survive a freezing, and still be able to impregnate someone (50%-80% of sperm die during freezing). Well, after ALL of that, they got down to the cash part of it. And... WOW. It freaked me out. The sperm bank they went to (in California, I believe) paid between $500 and $600 per deposit, and that you could depoist every 2 or 3 days (at LEAST twice a week). Now, doing some simple math: $1,000/week X 52 weeks in the year = $52,000 just for a little tug and pull!!"

thats crazy, thatd make me quit fuckin

8/11/2008 9:48:55 PM

until you're 50 and some kid shows up at your door sayin "hey pops, whats shakin"

8/11/2008 9:49:02 PM

id wring his goddamn neck and kick his ass

8/11/2008 9:52:36 PM

He'd probably be dead after the whole neck wringing. No need to kick him in the ass at that point, unless you just like that sort of thing.

8/11/2008 9:54:28 PM

maybe but id make sure i spoke the line "boy, you aint no kin to me" before i grabbed his throat

8/11/2008 9:55:13 PM

Thanks, craw.
