As a little girl I thought I would get married and have a little family. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have problems having a baby let alone asking someone to donate their eggs to us!
You could imagine the shock after trying for 2 years before heading to a specialist to be told sorry you have premature ovarian failure and you will need IVF to have your babies....i was only 26....who in the hell goes through menopause at this age...MEEEEEEEE. funny thing is that nearly 9 years later Im still going through it GRRRRRRRR. I remember breaking down crying thinking why me. When we started IVF we were told right from the start we may need help from an egg donor..I though hmmm yeah right we havent even given IVF a shot yet using my eggs yet.......9 heart wrenching cycles later I finally got my head around using a donor .I had to go through a grieving process, I had lost my fertility once and for all I had the lost the baby that would never have my genes my blood and to some extent I had lost part of me....my body failed us and I think that was my biggest problem. I didnt feel like a woman and after alot of couselling I finally got to a good place :)
This will be our 3rd donor cycle and we have all our fingers crossed that we will get our much wanted baby from it. We have been counselled on what we should tell our children born from donor eggs and well its simple....I would say....it took 3 very special people to make you :)
