I got a period today and it really made me think. I know I can’t have reversed the menopause and am sure it’s just a ‘bleed’ while my body adjusts back to whatever my normal is. But it got me thinking again, would I actually want the menopause to be reversed for me now if it could be? Obviously, there’s the health advantages of not going through the change several years before normal, but how would I feel about the possibility of being able to have a natural birth now I’ve had my daughter through egg donation? Similar to my earlier thoughts on being able to have a baby naturally if I could (see post from 10 November 2018), I think I’d feel very strange about it, as even though this future hypothetical baby from my newly restored eggs (I know, stay with me here in this great leap of biological fantasy!) would be half me and half Mr M, now I think I’d want any siblings we had for our daughter to be from the same egg donor as her. Again, I know that there are all sorts of families nowadays, and brothers and sisters with different mothers or fathers, but I’m such an advocate now of this process we’ve been through, I’m fully on board with any more children we could have being done via egg donation as well. Annnyway, all hypothetical as I know the menopause can’t be reversed, but it just got me thinking today, that’s all.
