I really enjoyed reading it. T...Your blog is great! I really enjoyed reading it. To be honest, at first I was completely against de ivf. I thought it’s unnatural. I thought I won’t be able to love a baby of another woman. How stupid I was! This procedure was my only chance to become a mother. I persuaded myself to do it. Thanks to ladies, who shared their experience and successful stories, I've got strength to keep going. Now I have no regrets. I look at Sammy and I consider him as my son and no one else's. We had an opportunity to give our doctor list of features we want to see in our donor. We mentioned hair color, nose and face shape, eyes, lips, etc. I should say everyone tells me my son looks like me! We told everyone, even our family, that we had simple ivf. No one can ever tell we used egg donor. Of course I’m grateful to our doctor and that girl, who donated her eggs. I will never forget what they’ve done for us! But I really have no feelings like my son is not genetically related to me or I feel differently toward him. Absolutely no! I love him with my whole heart! As soon as I knew I’m pregnant all my doubts faded away. I carried him, I felt him inside my stomach, I had toxicosis, I sang for him and read fairytales for him, I gave birth to him! He’s my son and only my! We decided we’ll not tell Sammy about egg donor. I think he doesn’t need to know that. I’m his mom and I’ll do everything for him so there will be no need for him to look for donor. Speaking about clinic, we had de ivf in Ukrainian BioTexCom. We had 2 attempts in general. I’ve got pregnant from the first one. The clinic also offers «packages» with 1, 2 or 5 attempts. So we’ve just chosen «package», which suited us the most. My life changed completely thanks to the procedure and my clinic. I'm happy mother and wife now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609212300287380249noreply@blogger.com
