This is an anonymous blog about a family adding a child through donated eggs. We are starting with 15 frozen, anonymous donor eggs (DE) given to us by a friend who used this same anonymous donor and her clinic froze all the "extra" eggs from her donation. My friend has a successful pregnancy with twins. We hope we are so lucky, too.
We are currently planning to disclose to our child but not to our families. Thus, the main purpose for me for this blog is to talk about all the things that are happening, particularly the things that I cannot talk about to my friends and family. And I want to b!tch about my infertility therapist who is driving me crazy right now.
I also hope I can share the information, research and life choices we're making to help others on the way down this relatively new path.
About Me
- DE Mommy
- Our son was conceived after two months of "trying." Imagine our surprise when the next 8 pregnancies ended in miscarriages (5 chemical pgs and 3 clinical m/cs ranging from 8 weeks to 12 weeks). We've considered adoption but started trying donor eggs first. Our frist DE cycle was with frozen donor eggs. Our 1st fresh cycle was canceled when the donor tested (falsely) positive for HIV. We also think I may have an auto-immune issue. We are pregnant with twins after our 3rd DE cycle, the first one we got to "try" with!
