Katy Encalade: What Are the Biggest Myths About Egg Donation?

Katy Encalade, President and CEO of Egg Donor and Surrogate Solutions, shared on LinkedIn:

“There are a lot of things people think they know about egg donation.

And sometimes, those assumptions keep women from even exploring the possibility.

Will I still be able to have my own children?
Is it wrong to be compensated for donating?
Will I remain anonymous?

As a former egg donor myself, I understand why these questions matter.

And after nearly 20 years in this space, I’ve learned that the answers aren’t always as simple as people want them to be.

In this week’s quick Mini Moment from the Create A Happy Family podcast, I’m using Hannah Hubner’s experience to unpack a few of these common misconceptions and share what I wish more women understood before considering egg donation.

I believe we can celebrate the incredible gift of egg donation while still being honest about the medical risks, financial considerations, and lifelong implications for everyone involved.

We don’t build trust by telling women what they want to hear. We build it by giving them the information they deserve.

Take a few minutes to watch this Mini Moment!

And if you’d like to hear more, Hannah’s full story is available on the Create A Happy Family podcast and YouTube.”
