[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may not be there yet, but I would encourage you to think about donor eggs.  I had DOR in my early thirties.  3 IUIs and 8 rounds of OE IVF came to Nothing but many years lost.  Three rounds of DE IVF between 37 and 42 gave me three amazing kids.  Getting to the other side of infertility allows you to get on with your life.  [/quote]

Some people won't use donor eggs for ethical reasons. [/quote]

Sure.  But plenty of people do use them.  OP might be one of them.  For people whose primary problem is egg quality, it’s one of the only solutions that actually works.

And, in my experience, the only people who have an ethical problem with donor eggs are fertile people with kids of their own.  It’s easy to be judgmental from the sidelines of infertility.  I ignore those people and enjoy every day being a mom to my amazing kids (who know all about their donor status and, while mildly curious, are definitely not overly focused on it as part of their identity.)

Please don’t generalize! Many people dealing with infertility wouldn’t consider DE for personal/ethical and religious reasons etc (I am one of them)!
It’s not just the fertile people with kids of their own!
I personally worry about if siblings (that were donated as embryos to different families) eventually end up marrying each other! it will be a mess!
Glad though to hear you are open with your kids about it! Unfortunately not everyone is!
Wishing you all the best and I sincerely don’t mean any offense to you or your family in any way!

Curious if you are also against sperm donor usage? [/quote]
