Here we go again?
We thought our failed IVF was the end of the road. I mourned and was ready to move on - baby free. Then, someone hooked me with, "Did I ever tell you how I got pregnant?" An egg donor???? What? Why have I never, ever pondered using an egg donor? In ALL the reading I have done, day after day, month after month, year after year. I thought I knew EVERYTHING about infertility. After the failed IVF, my doc said, "No more IVF. I will not take your money. It is rarely successful at your age." Okay, that sounded like the end to me. I accepted that. We tried. We tried really hard. We spent too much money. We were done. Except, on a whim, I called a new doctor at Strong. I set up a consultation appointment. We went last week. There are egg donors ready and willing. This possibility is turning me into a silly mess. Do I dare let myself feel this hope again? Will I be okay having a baby that is not genetically mine? We did a lot of talking. We did a LOT of arguing. I guess I don't even need the fertility shots to be "crazy".
