Now we’ve made the decision to definitely go ahead with our egg donation treatment in a few months time, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted and I can go on our belated honeymoon without all the worry and indecision flying around in my head. But it’s also allowed me to step back a bit and look at the bigger picture. I’m in such awe of women who decide to donate their eggs to people like us and the incredible gift they give. I understand there may be some financial benefit involved, but it is not an easy process to go through at all; I think that the drug regime and procedures they have to go through are harder and more invasive than what I have to do. Then there is the emotional element to be considered as well; even if the process is anonymous, it is no small decision to share your eggs with another woman to enable her to be able to have a baby. I will be forever grateful to all the women that choose to do this, and especially the one particular person who we eventually get our eggs from. I hope they all realise what an incredible gift they are giving and the hope it brings to thousands of women out there like me.
