[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it's pretty amazing just how much they seem utterly like my kids - physically and in affect - to anyone who meets them.[/quote]

[b]That's because they ARE your kids :)[/b]

Another DE mom here - my kids don't look like me, people sometimes comment on that.  I guess that hurts a teeny tiny bit, but it's MORE than made up for by the intense love I feel for them.  I cannot imagine that I would love my kids any more if they happened to share my (crappy) genes.

And I say this without ever getting to try with my own eggs.  I have POF; super high FSH (in the 100s) and really low AMH.  So, yeah, THAT sucked.  I cried.  Then I moved on.  I have not looked back.  Fertility doctors aren't telling you to try DE just because they want to make money.  Given your age and numbers, I am sure that they think DE is the best way for you to become a mom.  Maybe I'm naive.  Doctors are not Gods (despite what they may think) and I am sure some people have been told "your only hope is DE" who go on to have OE kids.  You may be one of those people.  But maybe not.  No one has a crystal ball that can predict the future.  How long do you want to spend in limbo?  (There's no right or wrong answer.)

I wish you very good luck.

PS - I did SG shared risk.  Took me more than two donors and more the five cycles to get pregnant.  VERY glad I did shared risk.  The money is worth it.[/quote]

Duh - you're totally right of course!  (I'm the one you're quoting.)  :-)
