Think egg donation depletes your eggs? Worried your baby might look like the surrogate? Concerned surrogates are only doing it for the money? Think again.

In this episode, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Noorhasan tackles the biggest myths surrounding donor eggs, donor sperm, and gestational surrogacy drawing on nearly two decades of practice and her personal journey as a parent through surrogacy.

You'll learn how egg donation actually works, why genetics are determined by the egg and sperm (not the carrier), how bonding after surrogacy really unfolds, and how to navigate the decision of telling your child about their conception story. An honest, warm, and empowering conversation for anyone navigating the world of third-party reproduction and IVF.
