UK: A super-fertile dental nurse has already helped childless couples have five children after donating a whopping 50 EGGS.
Mum-of-two Kelly Parsons, 35, has helped two couples have twins and another couple have a boy, thanks to her selfless willingness to go through the painful donation procedure.
Incredibly, in the space of 11 months, Kelly's eggs have become twin girls, twin boys and a baby boy.
Kelly, from Morden, south west London, said: "Despite the pain, it was worth it to bring joy to families that would never be able to have kids naturally.
"To have the urge to have kids and not be able to have them must be heart-breaking. I'm only a little part of making these babies.
"I am sure the parents will probably curse me in the middle of the night when they have to do bottle feeds."
Kelly and train dispatcher husband Dean, 41, had their only child, Charlotte, now 11, in 2003.
After eight years of trying and three heart-breaking miscarriages, Kelly gave birth to daughter Emily in January 2011.
Kelly then decided to start donating her eggs to other childless couples, in a bid to help as many families share the joys of children.
She said: "I wanted the eggs to go to a husband and wife so that the kids would be raised in a similar environment to our family - after all, these eggs could have been my children.
"Dean wasn't totally on board because I have supported him through so many crazy things, he knew it was my turn.
"You can only donate your eggs until you are 35, and because I was 33 at the time I felt like the clock was ticking."
Kelly injected herself twice a day with drugs to stop her period and stimulate her ovaries, and after a few months she will have stored up enough for them to be harvested.
She said: "After the first time I donated eggs I was knackered but so happy I'd done it.
"A week later I got a call to say five of them had been fertilised and two had been implanted into the mum-to-be.
"They'd also frozen the others so they could have more kids in the future.
"From then on I was on tenterhooks, hoping her body would accept the embryos.
"Although I knew nothing about the couple, I really felt a connection to them."
In all, Kelly has donated eggs three times, leading to three successful pregnancies.
Also, a number of her eggs have been frozen for future use.
Controversially, Kelly has told her 11-year-old daughter that she has brothers and sisters out there.
She also chose for the kids to be able to contact her daughters when they turn 18 - as she wants her girls to know their half siblings.
She added: "I would love to see if they look like me and am curious to meet them when they grow up.
"Charlotte is so excited by the thought she might get to meet her brothers and sisters one day.
"She even wants to donate her eggs because she thinks what I've done is amazing.
"The people that I've helped have babies have been through the menopause or cancer meaning they could never conceive naturally. Imagine having that urge to become a mother but not being able to have a baby, it must be devastating.
"Life can be so cruel and I'm just thrilled I could bring happiness to other women."
