[quote=Anonymous]I am 8w pregnant with a donor embryo pregnancy.  DH and i have been working with an RE for 4 years and trying on our own for longer before that.  This pregnancy was my 2nd FET with embryos created with donor egg and DHs sperm.  After the first FET didnt work I remember feeling ambivalent (compared with OE cycles) and slightly relieved. Then we plowed forward and I got pregnant.

I was graduated from my RE's office late last week and I am not feeling settled. I keep running through my mind the 2 miscarriages I had with my own embryos and thinking about the regret I feel about the wasted embryos that failed before I did an ERA that showed my window was off (I had 2 pgs-normals that didnt implant).  Basically, I think I am focusing on all of this bc I am not comfortable with my pregnancy. I am still so sad about the loss of the genetic tie and I am terrified I wont love this baby.  I am one of those ppl who always planned and wanted to be a mom and then infertility hit. It feels strange for me to be pregnant and be anything other than ecstatic.

I guess my question is are my feelings and fears normal?  Did you have any of these thoughts and did they peter out? Was everything ok after delivery? [/quote]
