Let me start this post by thanking everyone for their support. As some of you know I have a twin sister named Debbie. She just got engaged and is graduating from college in May. She has offered to put her life on hold and be our egg donor.
Since our doctor feels we have an egg quality issue (and since we didn't qualify for Shared Risk) my husband and I are extremely hesitant to put ourselves through another unsuccessful IVF attempt. We could move on to anonymous donor but we also are not ready to move on to that just yet. And since God has blessed me with a twin sister we feel that this might be the only way for us to have our biological child (same DNA). Gratefully Debbie has had a normal medical history, which gives me so much hope that this will work!
I can't tell you how weird it feels to know that I will have to not only watch her go through what I went through but I get to give her the injections! I guess I will get to see what my husband went through watching me (although I poked myself!)
We still have to do the testing, figure out how we are going to finance this and all that; but this feels like the right step. And can't believe that this is actually happening. We still might get "our" baby after all.
Part of me is still really sad that it won't be me doing all this. And I feel so guilty to put my sis through it as well; but mostly I feel so proud of her and so grateful that she would do this no questions asked.
Love you Sis!
