[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to follow your heart, OP.  But as someone who was on the brink of DE for my first child, but then ended up having 2 children (not twins) with my own eggs, I consider myself as having won the jackpot and don't need to complicate lives with a third via DE.  I was and am a huge supporter of donor eggs, and I don't want to feel like you need extra justification just because you already have 2 kids, but something about it feels a bit frivolous to me under your circumstances.

I agree with this. I am a super pro-choice feminist and I have no problem with donor eggs, with IUI, with IVF, or with surrogacy, but something about this squicks me out a bit. [/quote]

New poster but curious as i’m considering the same, is it the age difference or 3rd child part that makes you uncomfortable?[/quote]

NP here who feels the same way. It’s a little of both but mostly that the third will have a very different origin story. This child is set up as being the odd one out in every way among the siblings.

I can’t put my finger on why but it feels wrong to me (and I’m also not against DE, IVF, etc in principle.)
