Using a donor egg to conceive a sibling

[twinkledag]

Would you do it?

To add my first child is not from a donor.

Sorry no I wouldn't. Someone once told me that as a woman as your are born with all the eggs you'll ever have then you start life inside your grandmother - that generational link has always resonated with me - if I'm being honest I wouldn't feel the same way about a donor baby that I would a biological baby especially if it was a girl.

Yes. Our children will have no biological link at all to my partner or their family and the love that's pouring out of them for an unborn child is insane.

Yes, I know plenty that have completed their family using donor eggs, I have an own egg and donor egg baby both under 2 and it doesn't even occur to me ones not biologically mine beyond feeling very lucky and grateful for the donor, I was the other way in that my donor egg son came before my own egg son

@twinkledag I remember you from other threads. And my answer is yes and that's exactly what I started last year. I have my "own" DD who was conceived with help of IUI using my husband's sperm. And last year I had 5 MCs alone using my own eggs and naturally. Then I started DE process and our lovely donor produced 15 eggs and we have 12 top grade 5 days blasts on ice. Planning a transfer next month.
