What are your views, have you or would you ever consider donating your eggs,do you know anyone who has, what do you think of women who do should any resulting children have the same rights as adopted children and importantly what are the consequences of siblings meeting and marrying? |

Well firstly I wouldnt be allowed due to the meds I'm on I'm sure, as I'm not allowed to get pregnant unless I'm off the meds for 6 months first. But to be honest, as much as I feel for anyone desperatley trying for a baby I dont think I could do it, except for my sister, or maybe a very very special freind. Yes the resulting child should certainly know, health history and genetic history etc. I think women who can do this are wonderful people as they are truley giving the gift of life. But I think it were me I would always be wondering weather I had another 'child' out there somewhere. |

I think I've a slightly different angle on this. During our attemps at IVF, egg donation was an option offered. There are two sides to this, one was to go on to the register awaiting a match from a donor, (you not only have to pay for your own drugs and proce4dure, you have to pay the donor's too) the other being my own eggs being released for donation in the event of IVF being successful. We decided in the end not to go down that route, I think after attempt no.5 failed, we were told it could be another 2-3 years before a suitable match could be found, and of course, it had already cost us £10,000 so funds were a big issue to - so adoption was the better route for us. I think when you want a baby, you dont look too far into the future about the possibilities of a donor egg and the resulting child meeting up with a sibling, you're fixed on becoming pregnant etc. A friend of ours has just gone down the donor route, she has had 2 attempts at IVF and having been told shes already in the menopause, her options were limited (she's adopted herself). She & hubby went to Spain for donation, she had 3 fertilised eggs placed 3 weeks ago and she told me yesterday that blood tests show that there are at least 2 implanted but her upcoming scan will tell if all 3 are there. She and hubby are the subject of a TV documentary being shown early next year.(Not sure how I feel about that one) When you want a baby badly, you will go down any route to try and achieve your aim, you focus on the here and now rather than too much about what will happen in the future, sorry I probably haven't put that very well but I hope you see what I mean.

I'm not sure if it was because she was a control freak who walked all over him or the fact that it wasn't his child...
