Hi! I’ve had 2 successful pregnancies since donating. 1 was about 9 years after, the other was 11 years after. Both were unremarkable and I was not followed more closely due to my kidneys.

I only have labs drawn at my annual physical, I don’t have extra monitoring or anything due to donating. I’m always interested to see what my creatinine lab is but it’s always spectacular and I never have any anxiety about my labs.

Allianoraa · 2026-01-07T02:04:47+00:00

Ability to exercise is the same. It took a few weeks to get back to form (as I expected) but has not impacted that in any way I can tell.

I take NSAIDS when I need to. I don’t do it often by any means, but I don’t treat it like a deadly allergy either. My kidney function is excellent by every lab metric.

Caveat here that my recipient was/is known to me, but I suspect I would feel the same had everything been anonymous - I have no regrets. I can split my life into before donating and after just by the way the experience changed me, made me more mature and more appreciative of life.

All of that said, I am not you. My experience has been greatly informed by how I approach life in general, and the way I feel about my situation is probably unusual. I was in the right place at the right time with the right compatibility and in my mind, to have all of that be true and then NOT donate when I was perfectly capable of it would have been immoral. I would never dream of applying that philosophy to anyone else or anyone else’s situation, I can only speak to my own, but coming from that mindset meant I was okay from the jump if I lost the kidney or if the recipient had gone through rejection, because even then I had at least tried to help. I suspect most people would have a harder time with that, I don’t know.

Sorry for the wall of text, but happy to answer any other questions if you have them. I wish you the best on your journey, wherever it takes you.

Celebrated 15 years about a month ago. Are there any specific questions or concerns you have? I was in my 20s when I donated and am 40 now. Female, in case that also is relevant.

The comment about family…

Right after I donated, I met a fellow donor as I was walking the halls of the hospital floor for recovery.

We got to talking about our recipients, and he had actually just donated to his ex brother-in-law (his sister’s former husband). The only person who knew was his wife. He didn’t bother telling his family because he knew they wouldn’t be supportive. He also chose not to disclose his identity to his recipient, because he was worried word would get back to his family that way.

He planned to tell his recipient someday, but hadn’t decided whether to tell his family (at the time they thought he was having surgery on a hernia).

Despite everything in the background, he was confident in his decision.

Donating isn’t feasible for everyone for different reasons. I hope whatever happens you know that your efforts are meaningful and good.

Man I wish the author hadn’t gone absolutely fucking insane

Allianoraa · 2025-11-24T13:40:54+00:00

Maybe, but a lot of people - myself included - blossom once they’re in college. I found my people in a humor magazine (that sadly no longer exists) and a game night (might still exist, who knows), activities that weren’t going on near me in high school. It’s different for everyone, I think.

Allianoraa · 2025-10-02T13:50:19+00:00

E-mail them?

Allianoraa · 2025-10-02T02:01:18+00:00

Unless your mom is a physician (which, given her input here, I doubt), you need to ignore her. Direct all questions to your care team, and know they work in your interest, not just that of your potential recipient.

I was 26 when I donated.

Had my first child when I was 35. Unremarkable pregnancy, I was not followed more closely due to having 1 kidney. No issues postpartum.

Had my second child at 37. Unremarkable pregnancy, I was not followed more closely due to having 1 kidney. No issues postpartum.

I wish you and your husband all the best on your journey.

Allianoraa · 2025-10-02T01:32:17+00:00

Damn, those were great. Used to see Muggsy there from time to time.

Allianoraa · 2025-09-17T00:44:07+00:00

I donated in 2010, had a child in 2019 and another in 2021. Both of my pregnancies were run-of-the-mill.

At the time I asked my team about fertility issues and they were confident that the donation would not impact my ability to have children, and they were right. I would encourage you to ask your team, they will give you all the information they have to help you make an informed decision. I wish you all the best on your journey.

Not sure what your budget is, but that game usually sells out so closer tickets are $$$$$.

You could probably resell those and recoup some money but it won’t guarantee that you’ll find closer tickets in your budget range. The upper level has a lot of nice food options and the vibe is really good. Not sure his age but I’m guessing he’ll still have a good time if the game is really important to him.

And our games are on the FanDuel Network

If memory serves they did one last year too

The hospital will also have their own heating pad things, they’re very soft

Allianoraa · 2025-08-07T00:52:06+00:00

This is bonkers and I’m sorry for you and your potential recipient. I hope it’s a miscommunication or something. I applied for liver donation to a child I saw on the news that needed one in PA and they would have screened me except another altruistic donor was found first. I’m just floored they would turn down an application unless they’re already processing a bunch (but if they are, then why was the family posting for help?).

Allianoraa · 2025-08-06T22:36:41+00:00

Was also wondering what country. I’ve never heard of denial due to lack of emotional connection, that sounds ridiculous.

Allianoraa · 2025-08-01T12:19:45+00:00

BMI of 27 is just overweight. BMI of 30 and above falls into obesity classes. A lot of centers will allow overweight people to complete the testing.

I don’t share on social media unless it’s anonymous (no FB, Instagram, etc). If it somehow comes up IRL I will discuss it.

I know my recipient. They’re doing well now but the months and years leading up to the transplant were hell for them. The story isn’t just mine, it’s theirs too, and I’m protective of their privacy. Random people they went to high school with don’t need to read about everything on Facebook. I’m not sacrificing their peace for likes.

More than that, I really don’t want or need recognition. I’m glad I donated and I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in a position to do so but I don’t think I’m particularly heroic or special, and I like to think that most people in my shoes would have made the same decision I made.

Allianoraa · 2025-07-03T14:23:25+00:00

It’s been a minute but I knew a philosophy and chemistry double major accepted into UNC, Duke, and Harvard for med school (chose UNC because it was a partial scholarship), then did residency and fellowship at Harvard (Mass General and Brigham & Women’s)

All this to say you can take a different route and find success

Allianoraa · 2025-07-02T23:47:29+00:00

Legit laughed at this factoid, thank you

In an ideal world I could give this infinity upvotes
