I'm going to be an egg donor! Would anyone like to share their experience with IVF, either as a donor or a recipient?

A little background:

My sister is 40 years old and, until she met her husband and married about two years ago, had firmly believed that she didn’t want children. Well, meeting the right man has changed her mind, and they’ve been trying to get pregnant for about three years or so. They had a round of in vitro fertilization (using his sperm and her eggs) in the summer, which, unfortunately, failed.
She recently asked me (33 with no children) if I would be willing to donate eggs for a second round of IVF, and we’ve begun the preliminary steps to make it happen in the early spring.

I was just wondering whether any jellies had been through IVF or the egg donation process. I know what to expect, medically, and I have no doubts whatsoever that I’m going to go through with it; I just wanted to know what y’all thought. Thanks!
