[quote=Anonymous]I have a donor egg IVF baby (well, teen now) and I'm immensely grateful to the college senior who donated eggs and used the money to buy a condo when she graduated (good for her!).

I had two miscarriages on my own, 2 failed IVF cycles, 2 IVF cycles where I got pregnant but didn't stay pregnant (so +2 miscarriages) and I was ready to give up and go the adoption route. But my husband is adopted and this baby we were trying to have would be his only chance for a blood relative so we did one more round with donor eggs and ta-da....baby.  My adopted husband has zero health information about his birth parents or their health. There are also lots of people in the world who are estranged from family members and don't have all the info they might want. Saying that it such an enormous issue for egg donor babies just isn't the way I see it.

I don't think what I did to have a baby was unethical.

I will say that when my baby was 7 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2021 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. My neurosurgeon said that the type I have is more common in women who have gone through IVF *AND* had breast cancer.

If I had known this would have been my story about my own health after IVF, I might have wanted to go the adoption route sooner, but I look at my kid and have no regrets.[/quote]
