62. Navigating the Donor Egg Pathway: Essential Considerations

Send us a text

Welcome to the Donor Egg Mama podcast! In today's episode, we continue our "Back to Basics" series, providing an in-depth overview of key considerations on the donor egg pathway. As your guide, I've supported many women through this journey, from initial overwhelm to the joy of holding their babies. 

We'll cover essential emotional, medical, and social aspects to help you navigate this path with confidence and support.

What You Will Learn:

• Psychological Considerations: The role of psychological evaluations in the donor egg process and how to use these appointments to ask important questions about raising a donor-conceived child.
• Open Disclosure: The importance of being open about your child's donor conception from birth and strategies for talking to your child about their origins.
• Addressing Genetic Grief: Handling feelings of loss related to not having a genetic connection with your child and finding ways to process these emotions.
• Privacy vs. Secrecy: Understanding the difference between privacy and secrecy in sharing your child's donor conception story and deciding who to tell.
• Creating a Storybook: The value of documenting your donor egg journey to create a storybook for your future child, helping them understand their origin and your journey.
