[quote=Anonymous]When I started, I said I'd keep going until I had a baby or ran out of money. 
I eventually gave up when I had no more embryos and my doctor advised that doing another retrieval would be futile. I had no problem with using an egg donor, but it sort of felt like going right back to the beginning. It had already been about four years at that point, I'd even used a surrogate for my last embryo. I was tired. I wanted to get on with my life; it had been in limbo for so long. (Of course, then Covid happened, so it's still in limbo anyway). 
It's actually a lot less awful than I imagined. I remember once, at the very beginning, I told a friend that I didn't think I could go on with life if I didn't become a mother. But I'm okay. When I was trying to conceive all that time, it was so painful to be around children. Even TV commercials with kids in them made me sad. But now when I see kids, I smile.

I went through all of it as a single, using a sperm donor, if that matters. [/quote]
