Girls,
This gal is a great friend of mine on GP. She's absolutely brave and strong, and I am so impressed with her. Take a look at her blog. I think that donating eggs is wonderful, and of course we have had ladies on this board that have had donor eggs. Read on....

Re: A selfless act.
I think it is such a beautiful thing when a woman is willing to help those who so desperately want children.
As someone for whom donor eggs are on the table, I appreciate such gifts more than I can put into words.
It's a beautiful thing.
Although it doesn't seem we'll be going this route, unless DH has a dramatic change of heart, this process has given me a whole new appreciation for women who donate their eggs. And, also, for women who decide they are not ready/ cannot provide for a child and give that child up for adoption.
Very nice!
To Joy - my DH and I felt the same way as your DH. What changed our mind was the RE. He really appealed to our emotional side and we did a 180 on our thoughts of using DE. You and DH might want to find a more compassionate RE or speak to someone that actually had a child with DE or DS to explain why it can be a wonderful path.
Thanks, Franny. I really appreciate you thinking of me!
I don't think it's a presentation issue, in our case. I really think my DH sees all the sides, and he is thinking about it further. That said, I do not think he will change his mind.
I'm ok with that. I still think it's a beautiful option, but if it's not for my DH, it's not for us.
