Tomorrow is a big day! I'm feeling so many mixed emotions, mostly excitement and anticipation but a little bit anxious and fearful. With my track record of roadblocks, I can't help but feel a little apprehensive about the appointment. I am looking forward to spending time with the donor and getting more details ironed out. We have yet to discuss and decide how much we want to share and with whom to share it with. It almost seems a little political in a sense.
I have read articles and talked with woman who have used donor eggs, and one of the biggest dilemmas is whether or not to tell your child that they aren’t 100% yours. How much info do you divulge to close family and friends? 1) Allowing them the knowledge builds a great support system; however 2) the potential hurt that could be caused if information is leaked out, if we as parents haven’t had time to talk with the child first, or at all?? I am, at this point, not sure where my feelings are with telling my child about it or not. But I'm not to get too ahead of myself here; we have yet to find out about the possibilities of a successful treatment first.
Praying that tomorrow holds all the right answers and to calm all the spirits and minds involved.
