I just completed my third donation cycle and am prepared to pay 1/4 of my earnings on taxes. Bluntly saying - I commissioned $4000 each cycle and I was told to expect at least $1000 of that to go towards taxes the following filing year.

I understand that this is considered self employment / a job , but my body went through HELL and I have to give NYS a quarter of my earnings for literal pain and suffering.

I know I willingly went through this and am giving someone an amazing gift with an added perk of being able to pay off my debt but like come on dude, I produced 41 follicles last time and became very sick towards the end and I just don’t like the idea of having to share it with the government 😔

Please tell me if I’m being unreasonable!!

And NO! I did not do this just strictly for the financial gain. It is a great opportunity all around to help folks who want to become parents and earn something in return for your hard work.

* to clarify I understand that I did not technically donate but that’s what the whole thing is called. I am not just describing it like myself*

For the ladies - do you shave your legs above the knee?? I am a 32 year old female and no once since I started shaving my legs as a teen have I gone above my knee.

Do you think you should have to pay taxes on the money you received from donating your eggs?

Has anyone else watched Chitty Chitty Bang when they were a kid and then rewatched as an adult and was like oh, this is actually a really wild story.

When you make a phone call and there’s an automated system, say like when you’re paying bills and it says either press one for yes or say yes out loud. How many people press the buttons versus talk? I always use the buttons and put the phone call on mute so nothing picks up in the background.

When I go to bed at night I sleep under the comforter. When I take a nap in bed during the day I use a throw blanket and lay on top of the comforter. Does anyone else do this?
