[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry you’re going through this!

From a perspective of someone on the other side, unless she is incredibly clueless and insensitive then I guarantee you she’s thought about it but decided against offering. Watching a family member deal with infertility makes you think, man, is there anything I can do to help? But for many women it is still way too weird to think about someone else raising your genetic child. I know for me I’d feel really uncomfortable knowing I was the kids biological mom and I’d be scrutinizing every parenting decision my SIL made. And this is exactly why I haven’t offered!

There are people who totally feel differently but I think they’d have offered by now.

I wish you lots of luck and hope this isn’t offensive in any way![/quote]

I agree with all of this. I don't think I could donate eggs to a stranger but I am 100% sure I could not donate eggs to a family member. I would really want to help, but I just could not watch a family member raise my biological child. I know there are people who would feel totally different about it--but I agree with PP that such a person likely would have offered.
