I am an acupuncturist practicing in SE Portland and for the last few months I have been treating a patient who had been an egg donor half a dozen times in the past decade.  I am treating her for menstrual pain and a digestive disorder associated with her history of egg donation. 

Although acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal therapy are helping her, I would like women out there, who are considering egg donation, to recognize that there are long term health complications that can occur due to receiving hormones and disrupting the natural flow of the menstrual cycle.
