This week is National Infertility Awareness Week, and today also happens to be International Donor Conception Awareness Day. Both are so special to us.
We tried for so many years to have a child. We learned about 7 years into the process I had no eggs left.
That brought on 2 years of testing, saving, hard talks, decisions, and surrender and acceptance to the process.
We are over a year into our donor conception process and have lost 3 children, and am currently 4 weeks with 2.
That is just my story. But for decades people have used donor eggs, s***m, embryo adoption to assist them in being able to have children. And this is also for the donor conceived children.
We spent SOOO much time talking about this, funding this journey and just straight up going through it that I didn’t even have a thought in my mind how it would affect my children.
I am learning SO much about how much of a BIGGER decision this was and the responsibility we will be taking on.
We had to see a genetics counselor and they were very up front about being honest with our children but I had SO much going on at once my husband remembered and I didn’t.
I am grateful for our donor to have gifted us these eggs so we could have a child.
I got my work cut out for me and I am willing and open to learning. 🙏🏼💜🤰🏼
