[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to come across as mean spirited but I truly don't want it to be - I just don't understand using both donor egg and donor sperm, at that point why not just adopt a child and save your body the trauma? I say that as someone who desperately wanted children and went through IUI and IVF - it was the single most damaging thing I have ever done to my body. I worry about the cancer implications of some of the drugs I took and what would happen in the future. If we needed both donor egg and sperm, I would just go for adoption. The costs of adoption and the time it takes can be comparable to artificial insemination.

I sort of am wondering that as well. I had a horrible pregnancy and difficult birth that damaged my body permanently. If there is no aspect to the child that is your genetics and you can save yourself the experience of all the invasive rounds and cost of IVF and difficulties of pregnancy and put your funds towards adoption, why put yourself through that? Ultimately it’s the experience of being a parent you want, OP. The experience of pregnancy and birth, while meaningful and important, are very temporary states in the grand scheme of parenting a child for its whole life. [/quote]
