I am on my 2ww with a donor egg embryo. Words will never be enough to describe the gift you are giving your recipients. On behalf of egg recipients I'd like to acknowledge your and your wife's loving kindness. If nothing else comes from this, you have given them hope and hope is a glorious feeling. What a beautiful pair of women!

I can't speak for our donor, but what we all discovered was that she did have an interest in how things were going with the embryos. She did feel attached to them in a way, although she no longer saw them as hers; she felt some responsibility and no doubt although we didn't discuss it, she felt a twinge of sadness when the rest didn't make it. I guess that's all I can share as I am on the "wrong" side of things to have true insight.

Thank you both again for wanting to do this, it's couples like you that make people like me have hope when there was none.
