pros - your odds are much higher for success, controlling prenatal care (vs. adoption), being pg.. cons - waiting for a match if it is anonymous, fear of the unknown, feeling like you are having an alien baby (partly kidding about this one), But really, once you have "the call" that you are pg, it all fades away. The greatest joy of my life are my 2 boys. [ Reply | More

Believe me - it is OKAY and normal to be afraid/unsure. The clinic will counsel you before you go forward. After 4 tries on my own (old eggs) DE was my only option and I have never for one minute regretted it. GL. [ Reply | More

worships the child, had NO prob. bonding.Bro./sil have absolutely no regrets, they only wish they could do one more (don't have the $$ for it). Chose egg by the donor whose phys. qualities matched sil's, fwiw. [ Reply | More

Friend considered it, then decided to adopt instead. But I think her decision had a lot to do with the fact she is a single mother too. [ Reply | More

NP I used donor egg, and have 3 beautiful children. The only drawback is that everyone resembles my dh and his family, and every now and again I get a twinge that no one resembles me. The freeing thing is that everything I don't like about my own family and myself has not been passed on.I would do it again in a heartbeat. No regrets. [ Reply | More
