That sort of sums up much of why I feel totally UNAFFECTED and NOT SAD about never having a genetic child. I tend to see it very scientifically - very matter-of-factly. I do, on some fundamental level, view it as a biological unit I'm going to be transplanted from someone else to supplant a function my body doesn't fulfill anymore. And sure I think that's too bad but, oh well! It just is and no amount of being sad about it and reading too much into it is going to make me feel better or help anything.<BR/><BR/>My inability to have genetic offspring has NOTHING to do with life or a higher power having robbed me of something. <BR/><BR/>I could have EASILY conceived at 16 - many, many times over! Umm....that's why we get our period at such a young age. Our society may have deemed motherhood to be unwise at that age, but it's when nature tells us it's time.<BR/><BR/>I missed that window by 30 years - I can't cry about it now. ;)<BR/><BR/>Rather, I'm eternally grateful that I live in a time and in a country that gives me a wonderful alternative and the chance to still be a mom - pregnancy, delivery and all!

It's so not fair.

This is a path that we are still too scared to take for all the reasons you listed. (Okay, that and we have no money...but we'd find the $$) I think that by the time this little one(s) is older, this will not be as unique. There are already books popping up about it for kids. I know none of this helps you...I hope you are feeling less ambivalent. I can't wait to hear how many eggies you get!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
