Re: Donor IUI - my story
Thank you for sharing your story. We also have done donor iui 4 times, the 1st resulted in our DD. We are currently trying for #2 with our 4th round. Donor choice is something we never really struggled with,, we didn't have much choice. I don't know if the blood type really plays much into it, but to be safe, we also used a neutral blood type....O...that also is the same as DH's.
When it comes time, if ever, we want to tell her just how much we wanted and prayed for her. That God chose this direction for our lives and led us to her. I'm not sure how she will take this news. I pray she will know our love for her and that will be enough. It may not. We won't know until the time comes. Of course, it would be nice to stick our heads in the sand and pray it never comes up. I guess you just have to have faith that your choices right now are the right ones for you and your children. As we get ready for our next iui, the shipment of "swimmers" is in and we are desperate to have anouther child, the last 2 iui's resulted in misscarraige. I have faith that this new donor will give us our greatest dream yet, a sibling for our dear daughter and anouther little person for us to love. That's why we are all here I guess.
Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes this is a very lonely road and even with the friendly faces, it's nice to know someone else has walked in your same shoes, so to speak.
