I’m pregnant and I used donor eggs. To be honest I was very scared at the very beginning of my journey. I had so many doubts. I think all women who choose de ivf as an option have doubts and uncertainty about their choice. It took me more than a year to decide if I really ready to go this way. My husband was 100% positive about using de. Why wouldn’t he, right? There is nothing to worry about for him. It will be his child with his features and his blood. But for me it was tough decision. I knew baby won’t be genetically related to me. I knew the baby might even not look like me. To be honest I was scared… I was thinking up scenarios like someone telling me that my child has nothing similar with me. I thought everyone will know for sure that I’m not a real mother of a baby. Now all those thoughts seem so ridiculous to me! I was so happy when pregnancy test showed positive result. And I was so happy when doctor confirmed it. All thoughts about donor eggs, doubts, dumb scenarios just faded away. This is my child and I’m his/her mother! Nothing else matters. Speaking about “appearance problem”, we were able to choose features(like hair color, eye color, nose shape, etc.) which we wanted our donor to have. But I think the most important thing is healthy and happy baby, right?
