Donor Babies

Ladies has anyone had donor egg or embryo babies? Can you tell me more about your experiences? What is it like being a mother to such a child? I am staring down this road and looking for answers. Thank you <3

    I am currently 20+4 with my doner egg baby. My experience with the egg bank was positive and since I wasn't using my own eggs, I didn't have to do a lot of the prep work folks using their own had to go through. My first transfer took and I've had no complications.
     As far as the baby himself, I am still growing this child and feel like in every way that matters, he is 💯 % my son. Every maternal instinct that should be present is. I also feel relieved because I will not be passing any of my health issues on to him. 
     I'll keep my egg doners medical history in with our other important documents in case it's ever relevant. One day we will tell him about his conception and hope that his dad and I did a good enough job raising him that he doesn't feel any different about us or his place in our family.

    Hi, I personally know a few ladies who successfully conceived via IVF with donor eggs.Some time ago, I stumbled upon articles on the eggodonationfriends and fertilityroad websites. These articles offer valuable insights into the treatment process, from both the perspectives of egg donors and patients. Hope this helps. Good luck
