Just a message for those unsure about using DE

[Gempuddleduck]

Hi all, I hope everyone is managing to enjoy the bank holiday sunshine.

For those following our journey, we gave birth to our DE baby boy at the end of last year and I just wanted to say that if you’re considering using donor eggs but you’re worried about your baby not feeling like your baby - don’t. It is honestly the most amazing feeling and I promise they will feel like yours - despite the lack of your genetics. Sending love and luck to everyone ❤️

Such a lovely picture 💙, been having a little wobble.. great to hear xx

[Zeebee14]

Yep I totally agree. My DE little girl is 3 months old now and I couldn’t love her any more. The lack of genetics doesn’t stop any love, she’s perfect, beautiful and mine.

I love this 💙 You gave me some really useful advice a year or so ago which I'm so appreciative of. I'm so so glad that this worked for you after you had such a terrible time. These stories of hope and success are what keep me going, so thank you ❤ xx

[Cat329]

Oh my goodness! What a gorgeous photo! It made my heart melt. Congratulations on your beautiful little boy! ❤️ The DE journey is not an easy journey, but I am so glad my husband and I made the decision to go for it after 7 years of heartache. I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant with our baby girl and I feel so blessed. Thank you for your post; it has made me even more excited about meeting her. xx

Gorgeous photo 😊

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant with a DD baby boy and this is lovely to hear as it’s hard not to have a few wobbles along the way xx

[Kitkat10 in reply to Happy2022]

hi Happy2022 congratulations, I just wanted to ask if you mean double donor DD? I hope you don’t mind me asking, but I think this will be my next step trying for a sibling for my donor sperm conceived LB, I’m now 42 and my OE options are dwindling. Did you have treatment in the UK?

[Happy2022 in reply to Kitkat10]

Hi, I don’t mind you asking at all. Yes double donor conceived, I had treatment in the UK using London egg bank, the process was really smooth and no waiting times. I decided to go ahead in October, started treatment in November and was pregnant in December 😊

I’d tried with own eggs which didn’t work so switched to donor as this was my last IVF go and I wanted to go with the option that gave me the greatest chance to have this much longed for child xx

[Kitkat10 in reply to Happy2022]

That’s fantastic! I was just looking at the LEB, last question I promise 😂 did you use fresh or frozen eggs?

[Happy2022 in reply to Kitkat10]

I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have, if I can help anyone else on their journey 😊

I used frozen eggs, I didn’t see any option for fresh with LEB. I purchased 10 eggs from 2 donors (decided as this was my last go of IVF to try one cycle with 2 different donors although all same sperm donor. I got 2 day 5 blastocysts, 1 x 5AA and 1 x 3BC, I’m currently pregnant with the 5AA xx

[Skittles11 in reply to Happy2022]

Sorry to butt in. Do you mind if I too ask a question. I'm wondering when you say 10 eggs, do you mean 10 eggs from each donor so you purchased 20 eggs altogether or do you mean 5 eggs from two different donors? Thank you so much x

[Happy2022 in reply to Skittles11]

Hi there,

I purchased 10 eggs in total…you can purchase 4, 6 eggs or 10 eggs so I did 6 from one donor and 4 from another x

I can only agree with you - my daughter is a DE baby too and I could not love her more ! ❤️❤️
