If you want to start a family, I'd put yourself first.<br /><br />And good luck with your MIL. I really hope that works out.PhizzleDizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036442165798690074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719356366303333951.post-3986683291750532582009-05-13T15:13:00.000-04:002009-05-13T15:13:00.000-04:00@Isabel - apparently either they used them all, or...@Isabel - apparently either they used them all, or some of them "expired." It's actually very weird because from what I've been told they only got 2 cycles out of them with the former surrogate, which means either a bunch of the eggs didn't fertilize well enough for implantation, or they tried to put way too many eggs in at once. But I have no idea.JLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396471022931966499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719356366303333951.post-74460751751239362912009-05-12T19:41:00.000-04:002009-05-12T19:41:00.000-04:00Personally, after reading your initial experience ...Personally, after reading your initial experience w/ egg donation I would pass on it again. Plus, it's a point of contention between you and your husband, not what you need right now.<br /><br />Good luck with the MIL. I probably wouldn't be that motivated to have a relationship with her but it sounds like you miss what you had so I hope she gives you a chance.Psych Post Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820776188567097127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719356366303333951.post-18847969771997445102009-05-12T19:18:00.000-04:002009-05-12T19:18:00.000-04:00Didn't they end up with extra eggs last time?

That sounded like a harrowing experience-having gone through that should let you off the hook. Don't do it out of guilt or any feeling of obligation-that's crazy!Isabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719356366303333951.post-47397516500936149372009-05-12T15:36:00.000-04:002009-05-12T15:36:00.000-04:00Wow.

It sounds like the first one was pretty hard on you. I don't think it's <I>wrong</I> to want some financial compensation for taking that risk. I would feel the same way in your position. I would also feel uncomfortable making the decision if I was being offers more money because I would find it hard to determine whether I was allowing myself to be coerced.<br /><br />That's probably not going to help you make your decision - I wish that I had something more useful to say about it.<br /><br />Ditto re: your MIL. Good luck.Ambivalent Academichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908454781195782927noreply@blogger.com
