[quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m so sorry to hear about your difficult infertility journey. It sounds very similar to mine. Ultimately, after 3 IUIs, 9 rounds of IVF, and three unsuccessful transfers of perfectly rated embryos with no pregnancies, we decided to use DEs.

Ultimately, our goal was to have a family. We had started looking into adoption, when I read someone on DCUM describe using donor eggs as like “winning the adoption lottery,” as you would have so much information about the egg donor and what happens in utero. Plus, I really wanted to experience being pregnant, having a baby, breastfeeding, etc. I was 42 and did the shared risk donor egg program with Shady Grove, chose a donor with frozen eggs, and got pregnant on my first transfer (I transferred 2 eggs and was pregnant with 1).

My baby is now almost 16 months old. He has felt like mine the entire time. My baby in my pregnant belly, my baby that the doctor held up for me to see when he was born, my baby that taught ME how to breastfeed, my baby to snuggle and hold. And I am 100% mom to him - he gives the sweetest little hugs and says, “Mom, mom, mom...” all day long. I was a bit apprehensive about DE at first, and clearly I was hoping for a biological connection or I would not have pursued IVF for so long. But our son is the best thing that has ever happened to us. And I can’t imagine my life without him.

I hope for you and all those wanting a baby so desperately that you find your path to your future family. DE ended up being a wonderful experience for us. Sending so many good vibes and so much love to you, OP. It is such a hard journey. [/quote]
