About Me
Okay, so here’s my story, and I’m hoping that anyone who is “wishing to be a mommy” can relate and will share their confessions of this journey, and of the challenges we face as we trudge the road of infertility. read more Egg Swapping

All sorts of things come up during the IF journey, at least for me. What I mean is, different options, courses, doctors, treatments, and of course there are feelings that are attached to everything. I think I have learned to manage the different emotions that arise and how to navigate through them without becoming homicidal. It hasn’t been perfect-I’m sure I have taken a few hostages here and there. I’m only human. I couldn’t even put together 25 days of positive thinking, but I got 3! One of the things that has become clear to me is that there are options-the IF journey can continue as long as our little hearts desire, or until they break. We can buy just about any organ from a donor if we are willing to pay for it, or we accept the needed reproductive material from a friend. Yes, that’s what I said, we can accept eggs or sperm from our friends. Who ever thinks of this stuff? I didn’t…I mean, growing up it never occurred to me that my best friend from childhood would one day offer her eggs to me…but she did. I have to say that of all the offers I’ve had in my life and all the gifts I’ve been given, nothing could even come close to this one. The timing wasn’t right for us and so it didn’t happen, but I’m wondering if others accept this gift of life? I also have to admit that I knew if we accepted her offer, all of our lives would change and there would always be that chance that our friendship wouldn’t be the same, how could it? A little piece of me was too scared to take that chance even if it meant having a child. But I’ll always wonder…
We are headed into the world of egg donation and I have a feeling there is going to be a lot more to say–it took me a year just to wrap my head around the idea but I got there. I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday and of course, lots of baby dust!!
I Really like what you have done with your blog! Will you please check out my site? It is new and i would like to show it off!
I’ve just found your site … to cut a long story short, my husband and I have been advised (do to my age (41), high FSH (over 30), a failed IVF cycle (poor quality eggs that failed to fertilize even with ICSI)) that the only option for having children is through donor eggs. It’s all so overwhelming. I don’t even know what to think, where to turn, or even whether to get a second option when the stats seem be so stacked up against us. You said it took you a year to get your head around the donor egg notion … Surprisingly, I find myself not opposed to the idea (whereas I am quite sure I would have been in the past …) and would love to hear how you, or anyone else out there worked through the process of getting to a decision …
Couldn’t be more impressed with this website and the great content. Please keep up the good work. Good, informative sites are getting harder and harder to find.
good share, great article, very usefull for us…thank you
Additional than anything my husband and I wanted a baby, we had been trying for a year with no achievement. My husband bought every single book and program on the market . We have been testing for ovulation everyday and saving up our baby making time for just when that little stick turned pink. Our next step was infertility treatment, we had been avoiding it due to the fact our insurance would not cover it and for IVF and every thing that came with it , we were looking at close to $30,000.00. Until we finally found something that worked, This is what worked for us and I am proud to tell other people today about it read my story here. I hope with all my heart this helps you and like me you too realized the joy of having a child.
