First Time Egg Donor - very green

[allifour]

Hi am mum of 4 (1b,3g) all conceived naturally and easily - during last pregnancy (4 yrs ago)read stories in waiting room about people ttc and the heartbreak they went through. Decided there and then that I wanted to do this. Started originally as unknown then through a friend of friend now going known after meeting my donee couple (two lovely people). My first injections start 6/9 with EPU 18/9 very scared yet excited - wanted to hear both sides views of it all.

Hi Allifour,

I am a recipient - myself and my donor have cycled together and unfortunately the first attempt ended in an early m/c. We have 6 frozen little embies wnd will be trying again soon.

The opportunity that you have given your recipients is amazing and wonderful.

I see from some of your other posts in this area that you are having all sorts of feelings at the moment. I think you will find what you are going to is perfectly normal.

I am sure that some of the other donors on this thread will be able to give you some support and advice regarding this.

Best wishes to you and your reipients, I hope everything goes really well.

Thanks diana, to tell you the truth everything is going through my mind. I have been reading your story and I know I am doing the right thing. I felt at first meeting my IPs like it was fate (it turned out his DM went to school with my DM) many years ago. It just feels right but there is that other side (you know that voice in your head) that makes you read all these threads and read the sad stories!! Fingers crossed for both you and your donor. Thanks for your support.

:wave: good on you for this very generous decision you have made.

Have you and your IP'S had a chat about what happens if this donation is a success? As long as all the cards are on the table things should go smoothly. My IPs always say that they want to keep in touch ( and do) and i give them a call the day the baby is due and remind them that after the baby is born they may feel differently - they may feel funny about me seeing the baby etc, they may feel protective and I let them know that its ok and i understand - You cant really predict how they will feel when they are holding their bundle of joy.

Tell you what though, the looks on their faces when they show you the baby is crazy - alzheimers couldnt take away the memories i have.
