Today I’ve been thinking a lot about egg donation and wondering if it is still a taboo subject? And I think it is. Firstly, here’s me and Mr M that are so happy with the process, and now wouldn’t change it if it meant not having our daughter in our lives, yet we still haven’t told anyone except our families and a few close friends that we went down the egg donation route. And I can honestly say, I don’t know anyone else who has told us they had their child/children via egg donation. People seem happy to talk about IVF nowadays when they are having trouble conceiving, but not egg donation. But isn’t it just the case that egg donation is another solution for couples who are having trouble conceiving for whatever reason? I am such an advocate for it now, and I wouldn’t want other people to miss out on the chance of having a baby because this subject isn’t widely talked about, yet we are still staying quiet for the time being. Yes, our choice is to wait until our daughter can find out from us about how she was made, but has it also got something to do with us wanting people to think that she’s from me as well? I’m not sure. Having to deal with the early menopause diagnosis and egg donation being our only choice felt like we were thrown in at the deep end without any warning, so maybe that’s another reason we chose to keep it to ourselves as we were still getting our heads around it all. But I’m now starting to think whether I would rather tell people, so that others can see what the possibilities are. The jury is still out, but it’s definitely got me wondering.
