| Introduction | I am currently not working. For the past 6 years my husband and I have been trying to have a family. After 4 IUIs, 2 IVF cycles and 3 miscarriages I decided to adopt. I went to the zoo this spring and there were pregnant women and families everywhere (of course, it's the zoo)and my husband said, "I am sorry this is such a baby/pregnancy expo." I looked at him and said "I am sorry I can not give you your own biological child." Then I had an epiphany...I could probably give my husband his own biological child with the help of donor eggs. In fact my doctor tried over 2 years ago to convince us that donor eggs gave us our best chances. If I can adopt a child I can certainly buy one cell from another woman to make a child that will at the very least be half Richard. I have PCOS, endometriosis and anti thrombin antigen which means I have to take Lovonox (a blood thinner) when I do IVF or my uterus will cut off the blood supply to the pregnancy...lovely! UPDATE: IVF cycle with donor eggs #1 worked and I now have a beautiful, healthy baby girl! |
