Looks like you are trying to figure out what to do with your embryos, as we are using donor embryos. <br /><br />Spoiler alert: We have been selected for a batch of embryos. So should you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask, I can include it in the blog. <br /><br />I love people that can make me laugh... and you did!<br /><br />-KBKayBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658373485056670950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612802090292830580.post-50188172320244778822012-03-22T20:16:24.116-07:002012-03-22T20:16:24.116-07:00I love you, Roccie.

We are circling closer to the donor egg debate so you may not be able to get rid of me :)<br /><br />And like someone else said, we expect that the people who get their happy ending with a genetic child will be, well, happy and content along with the normal trials of parenthood. (And I keep reading them too.) But for those of us struggling to make peace with a Plan B, it's really inspiring and encouraging to see happiness at the end of an alternate path, too.

I've started writing in a journal and find that I'm being much more honest with myself knowing that I don't have an audience. I'm sure I'll be back in the mood shortly, but right now, meh.

I've always mourned that fact. But then I came to understand through my blog friends that determining the fate of embryos is some really hard shit. There is no wrong answer, friend. At all. <br /><br />And PAIL. Argh. You know, I was so eager to participate in the Salons, and then they were posted...and then...I just couldn't.

I think that PAIL as a donor egg recipient is probably very different from PAIL with your own genetics, if you are going down the telling route (which I couldn't contemplate NOT doing). There is a constant reminder of the I&L - not that I think of that as a bad thing - I don't WANT to forget what brought me to where I am now because I feel that to do so would be disloyal to my past self and to all the women out there who are still in the trenches. Anyhow - that's something for my own blog. I'd love to chat post-donor issues. We also don't know if we will use our frosties but, sadly, don't seem to have to option here in the UK of donating them on. Big dilemmas we thought we'd never be facing - would have seemed like a huge luxury to that past self but are now causing anxiety.Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524066274559867949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612802090292830580.post-310444097708488902012-03-14T13:36:20.270-07:002012-03-14T13:36:20.270-07:00I'm pretty sure we all have some shit to sort ...I'm pretty sure we all have some shit to sort out.
