Thank you for sharing 😊

Thank you

what's her name?

Did your egg donor looked somewhat similar to you?

The grief is huge. And no one validates it. Especially the doctors, they just say ok do this instead.

How old are you when you did it thank you so Sharing.

No one questions the love and commitment adoptive parents show their children

Thank you so much for this. So authentic and healing 🩷

Thank you for sharing this. I am right now at the decision making process and this is an uncomfortable decision. Your positive message was a positive reinforcement 😊

Thats the first time I have heard someone talk about genetic grief. I never heard that expression before, but so apt for what I felt. I think its an important part to be aware of, as it gets dismissed too easily by people who were able to have children and tell you to "just adopt". Those same people dont want to admit they had kids for exactly that reason - to pass their genes on. Even if they dont see it that way now, they almost certainly did at the time they conceived and for many years after that when they looked to seevwho got what genes from whom. I have an aversion to hearing people talk about children as if they are just mini mes of the parents. I always point out they are a brand new person. Men in the USA even frequently give their sons the same name FFS - shows self-obsession and a real lack of imagination. When I gave up after IVF I was too broken and broke to consider anything else - I just had to stop completely at that point. But I never even realised donar eggs were an option. I thought adoption was the next step. My fertility clinic never really gave us proper advice on what all the options were. No counselling either. Its quite scandalous how much money they make out of something with such a low success rate.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 44, got married when 29. Couldn't have children and went through an early menopause. I really do wish I could get to the point I could enjoy other people around me having children and feeling joy for them.

She's explaining exactly how moms feel who have had babies with their own genetics. So I guess there's no difference.

Friend of mine had 17 miscarriages, have had to be heavily medicated to have a baby. This teenager has health issues, whole experience was so difficult they didn't want to do it again. I can't even communicate with this child.

I've found something else in life worth pursuing, got over this grief. Accepted I can't have everything in life. I never wanted a child just for sake of having a baby. 'It takes a village to bring up a child' and full family. There are too many narcissists (like in NPD) just due to trauma from being raised in dysfunctional, not full one. I'm glad I never got fooled to seek one baby at expense of killing or 'freezing' few. I've met a boy from twins born through this method. Both boys are on Asperger spectrum, are so aggressive can't be in one room, are sicklings, husband left this mother. Being blood donor is sth noble, not donating and participating in this horror. I recommend movie by real truth seeker dir. Grzegorz Braun - 'Eugenics. In the Name of Progress'. It explains who started and promotes it, new issues created by it. Ukraine has some 50 labs selling children. Due to restrictions in travelling some 5,000 were made orphans, for life because new owners couldn't collect purchased goods (this is what they made it to be). When child has no proper connection from the start there are irreparable changes in the brain occurring. I'm sorry you suffer, I disagree with solution you chosen. I knew woman who raised 7 orphans, after WWII, that's different story. Look what happened to Angelina Jolie's adopter daughter. She has a mother who was missing her for years, can't even meet her own child. Who's pain is bigger?

Thank you so much for sharing this. This helps a lot. Going through the worst of it right now... And this gives me hope and i feel understood ❤️ you're a beautiful human

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤ Very inspiring. Wonderful to hear how you handled the grief and went through the process and learned so much about yourself and your hugh appreciation for your children and your family! ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤ Very inspiring! You are such a strong woman with a very inspiring mindset. Bless you and your beautiful family! ❤

thank you for this video. it’s very validating to hear. i ended up having a hysterectomy due to health issues, leaving me sterile. i’m facing grief that i never even realized i would. i thought i was okay with never having kids, and even though i may never have had them, the finality of a hysterectomy is a lot to sit with and the grief is very intense some days. sending you and everyone here love ❤

Thank you for bravely sharing your story. Me and my husband are currently looking into DIVF after several failed IVF attempts that resulted in baby loss and ectopic. Like so many others I worry about bonding but your story have gave me hope and a little more confidence to follow the path we are facing. Take care x

Very strong 💪 lady. May GOD bless you and your beautiful family

Hello! So nice to see you are posting again! I watched your videos when I was thinking of going DC routes, they resonated so strongly with me. At the moment, I am in the second trimester with my baby girl. Thank you for your work!

Thank you for this. ❤

Thank you for sharing. The loneliness of my infertility never goes away completely but it makes it easier to live with when others share their journey. Thank you.

As a therapist, I'm doing everything I can to hear multiple experiences with infertility. I am also a mother who has experienced recurring misscarriage and secondary infertility. I really appreciate your vulnerability and willingness to share.

thank you for this. i'm grieving the loss of my genetics so bad even though we've gotten donor eggs.

I so needed to watch and hear this! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ I also have a widow’s peek…

It is an ongoing grief that many don't understand. Family, and friends who have not gone through it make it seem so simple. Whether one has a partner or not, both scenarios represent different challenges.

I am humbled by yr story❤️🙏🔥(south Africa)

Why did you need donor eggs? Your so young

You are a so powerful and beautiful woman and mum. I cried when you cry. I understand you totally.

Love your video! I think this conversation is important within our community. I went through 12 IVF cycles. Lots of failure that we navigated before we enjoyed success!

Wow so amazing to hear you discuss this topic. Thank you so much. This clarifys allot for me xxxx

Hi ....saya alexander justice dari indonesia.bisakah kamu membantu saya untuk mewujudkan impian saya yaitu pengen punya anak orang barat yang bermbut pirang dan bermata biru

I loved hearing your story. I’m currently 6 months pregnant with my egg donor baby. I’m feeling so down thinking about how my baby will someday want to go find her donor and establish some sort of relationship and look at her as her mom. Or if she won’t think of me as her mom. These things would be heartbreaking for me. I don’t feel a connection yet. I want to, but I don’t. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m subconsciously guarding my heart from the certain pain of these things I think are coming.
