Have to ask you a very personal question. A
favor. If the answer is no, just text me the word "NO"...you don't
have to explain yourself.
I
am sitting here on a Saturday morning, just thinking to myself. Exploring the
possibilities, I guess.
My
husband and I tried to have a second child after Bianca. Didn't work out.
Doctors tell me my eggs are too old and the DNA is faulty now. Best bet for us
is to have an egg donor, then I carry the baby to term. Girl in her twenties is
best egg quality, virtually zero chance for problems with the health of the
baby.
Not
something I would normally ask via facebook, but the only way I have to contact
you. Also, it is easier for you to think about before responding, not like a
personal conversation. I would feel like I was putting you on the spot.
Of
course your parents would probably kill me for even asking you this, but you
are old enough to make your own decisions on stuff like this now. If you decide
you want to, and want to involve them, that is fine with me.
I
don't know what your life plan is, but if you plan an extensive career (like
me) before starting a family, you may do well to collect some of your own
twenty year old eggs and freeze them for yourself in case you find yourself
older, like me, and ready to start your family---but biology is making it
difficult. If you do one "collection", you could give me one or two
and save the rest for you. They collect about 15 or so at a time. Wish the
technology had been available to me in my twenties. You have more options.
Again,
don't know how you feel about this in general, but girls make a lot of money
collecting and selling their eggs for donation to couples who need egg
donations to conceive. I think it rakes in about 10K per collection. It is
clearly a very personal choice, though. Not for everyone.
