IVF with Donor Eggs or Donor Embryos Community Group
Support and advice for those who need to use Donor Eggs, Donor Embryos, or Donor Eggs/Embryos with a Gestational Carrier for infertility treatment. Welcome all at every stage of this journey to Motherhood.
hello,
my husband and I recently received news that our chances of conceiving on our own are slim at most and the best option for us is to use an egg donor.
I understand that this is the best choice but am currently struggling with coming to terms with the fact that with the donated egg there will be no genetic factors of mine and the loss of being able to get pregnant on my own.
I wanted to know how others worked through the journey of coming to terms and embracing egg donation.
thank youÂ

I was told the same thing during my infertility work up (I was in the unexplained category). I didn't want to believe it so I went on to do two IUI cycles and 4 IVF cycles (that all failed). This took a few years and after the heartache and much soul searching I was ready to go the DE route. I'm so glad I did, but I do feel that I had to go through everything I went through in order to feel emotionally ready. Good luck to you it's not an easy decision.

I am scared beyond words to find out if any of my beloved blasts are suitable for transfer. This is my 2nd ivf cycle and it will be my last. I am 41 yrs old and have no children. I have no one close to me that understands the journey I am on. Please send prayers and good vibes my way.
