Using donor eggs
After my second failed cycle, my Re suggested that we use donor eggs. I didn't know anything about donor eggs. I thought maybe the clinic had a freeze full of eggs and we would just go pick some out if we chose to use them. We put our name on the list for a donor at our clinic. It took 8 months until we got the call that it was our turn to chose a donor. During that time I was able to come to terms with the fact that using donor eggs was the only way I could become a mother. Recently I have come across several blogs of ladies who have been told they should use donor eggs. Several of these ladies have had numerous failed cycles with their own eggs and are still trying with their own eggs. For whatever reasons, they don't want to try DE. It makes me so sad to read about the pain they are going through as they continue having failed cycles. I hope they are successful with their own eggs, but if they aren't, I hope they will give DE more consideration. I know they would be so happy if they were to be successful with DE. Now that I have my beautiful dd, I am so thankful that my eggs were crap! I love her so much and can't imagine having any other child. It doesn't matter one bit to me that we aren't genetically related. She's my hunnybunny and I'm her mama. I believe that God has a plan for all of our lives. It was His plan all along for this wonderful little girl to be my dd. I just hope and pray that it is His plan for us to have more LOs. If not, I know I am so blessed to have Lydia.
