[quote=Anonymous]I was resistant to DE. I had easily gotten pregnant three times on my own. Two TFMRs with a daughter in between. Decided I couldn’t bear another loss, so we did IVF starting at 41. My therapist mentioned DE, and I thought “no way, surely I won’t need that.”

Four retrievasl, 60+ eggs, but only 4 blasts—none of which was normal. It was tough on my body. Decided to move on to DE, which took a lot to wrap my head around.

I worried about it a lot during the pregnancy. But that girl is 100% mine. I carried her for nine months. My body grew her. My body nourishes her daily. I know logically she isn’t “related” to me, and it saddens me she won’t have my grandfather’s eyes or her sister’s curly hair. But I’m thrilled she’s here. It was a better choice for us than adoption. And it was definitely a relief to close the door on the TTC chapter and move forward.

My only regret is we didn’t do it after the second cycle with no normal embryos. It would have saved a lot of expense and time. Is DE a bit complicated? Yes. But so, so worth it.
