I've come to learn I will be quite lucky to conceive again, with an amh of 1.1 and low follicle count. We have abandoned plans for ivf and will do iui for a year as much as we can manage but we are also now thinking about donor egg conception.
But im uncomfortable with it at this first moment of thinking about it and wondered whether others have gone through the research, the counselling etc and could shed any more light on it?
I'm uncomfortable because I worry that child would feel inferior to my existing child in some way. I'm uncomfortable because I have read of young women really regretting their decision to donate and I also worry that a human born of egg donation is denied the right to know their genetic heritage.
And yet I'm aching for a sibling for my 2.5 year old.
Would anyone be kind enough to share how they have reconciled these challenges?
