Coming to terms with egg donation

[BabyBubbles1]

Isbit just me? Would like to speal to others in similar situation or having similar feelings.

I have a history of infertility and after trying ivf we are now moving to egg donation. I know that to have a child this is what we need to do but I am really struggling. I feel inadequate (the years of trying has impacted relationship), I can't understand why my husband wants to stay and do this with me. I had a son born with Edwards Syndrome and I know I havht got over this but it's also playing into my insecurities.

Oh I’m so pleased to hear that @Kelb79

Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly, and you enjoy this precious time with your bump.

@GingerFox2021 I know this is an old thread but am curious if you decided to go ahead with DE? We are in the same position - planning to do it for a second child after having one son naturally. It adds different complications I think and I do feel anxious but don't think having a child should hold us back from this option...

@Lola245 yes, we are off to Prague in couple of weeks for testing and sample freezing. I am anxious too but it’s scary and exciting at the same time.
Have you started?

It’s an old thread now, but I wonder how are you ladies @Kelb79 @Lola245 ?

Ahhh such an old thread 😍
my little boy is now 17 months old. He’s crazy, total carnage (currently trying to bite my nose while I write this 😆) but absolutely perfect!
I’ve never had a moment of doubt about having used donor egg to have him and we’re currently in the process of arranging transfer of the other embryo we have left to try for a sibling 🫣🫣
I’ve questioned this one a couple of times due to finances and my age (I’m 46 next month 😖) but we so want for him to have a sibling and we’d love 2 (we absolutely might regret that decision 🤣🤣🤣)

how’s everyone else doing??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Kelb79 the time flies!!! Did you go ahead with the 2nd embryo? How many have you frozen?
I hope all goes well..!

@GingerFox2021 ahhh I’ve just seen this! I’ve not been on MN for ages but came on today becaaaauuusee….. I’m 6dp5dt on our last embryo and I stupidly tested early today and can’t decide if I see a line or not 🤣🤣 aararrggghhhh!!! I hate the TWW!!!!
what do you think???
and how are things with you?? Where are you at these days????

Photo didn’t post 🤣🤣

@Kelb79 I see a shade/line in the first picture! I think you should see clearer on the test.
I am 23 weeks. I had an extremely stressful August with Amnio etc, but seems all good so far. My next scan at the end of October. It just still feels surreal to me. I won’t believe it, until I see it, I guess.

Ahhhhh that’s amazing!! I’m so happy for you!! Huge congratulations! It doesn’t feel real until they actually arrive 🙈🙈🙈🙈

@Kelb79 thank you very much!
have you tested again? I hope your lines are getting darker.
