Definitely before you get married or otherwise permanently committed, they should know. Some states/agencies will allow these children to contact you when they reach 18, etc. and you wouldn't want that to be a shock to your committed partner, 10 years from now or something.

No. But I would never do something like that.

Uh, no. Not the "right". If it got serious, and we were planning to have children together, or get married or something, I would definitely tell them, but not because I thought they had the "right" to know. It just seems appropriate.

I think it depends on the agreements between you and your SO... I think that once you donate an egg or sperm, that's that, you should really completely let go of it, but apparently a lot of people can't.

I don't know about having the "right" to know but I would tell her if that were the case.

My SO and I have a golden rule:
"Be open about your past, and I'll be open-minded".

Well I wanted to say yes, but It's really not their business, especially if the laws in your country state that any child born from a sperm/egg donation has no right to contact the donor. What difference would it make for the SO to know if they will never hear from the child? Then again, if your country has laws in place that allow the children of donors to contact the donor I think the SO should be prepared in case there is an unexpected visit from a child that was produced from donated eggs or sperm.

I don't know. If I had done it, I wouldn't lie if he asked, but that topic hasn't ever come up.

I don't have a current SO, but I think that the person who donated the sperm or eggs has the right to decide whether or not tell their SO

I really don't know about her having "the right to know", but I can't imagine wanting to keep that from the person I love.

If I did have an S.O., it would be none of his business what I did with my eggs in the past. Does a woman get to know how many other women her partner has boinked in the past and potentially 'donated' sperm? I think not!

Definitely, just like they have a right to know if you have any children in the past.

Yeah,cause I would want to know if he did.Tho I don't believe in donating "MY" eggs to any one at present.

I don't think they have a "right" to know, but I think that telling them would be the right thing to do, particularly if I might have contact with any resulting offspring.
