Same thing happened to me, I discovered after the fact that we have the same blood type.<br /><br />That is sad that you donor doesn't want to share this information with your your possible child. I wish this was an option when I cycled. Maybe I need to get off my a$$ and email my clinic about this. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more about your upcoming cycle in Dec!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-3131429259718933422011-10-26T09:27:54.670-04:002011-10-26T09:27:54.670-04:00I have absolutely no idea what any of those number...I have absolutely no idea what any of those numbers mean BUT it sounds exciting! I don't understand at all why your agency would say they have such an all or nothing kind of policy about identifying information! Not having access to some of that would be really sad for me, too.

We didn't purposely consider blood type in selecting our sperm donor, but once we chose one it was a relief to see that our children's blood types also wouldn't prematurely reveal anything about their nontraditional genetics. I'm of the opinion, too, that it's their story to share or to keep secret. The real challenge will be in figuring out how and when to tell them, and how much at a time. But what a great problem to have. I hope this works fr you!!B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08006692086413417834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-52649601282579210762011-10-25T22:49:27.681-04:002011-10-25T22:49:27.681-04:00Yes!

About 3 weeks ago I contacted CCRM to see if we could somehow ask our donor for the same disclosure of my son's 18th birthday. Her ER was in September 2010. This is when I learned of CCRM's new policy as you mention. I was/am crushed about this...so I know how you feel. I wrote two blog posts about it earlier this month.

Hopefully you can work something out about the donor name, birthdate, etc. My little miracle was concived with donor embryos and we have a semi-open relationship with our donors. We know their first names and can send messages through our agency. I think it may be important to our child one day to contact them. <br /><br />We are blesses that our child has a blood type that matches mine and my husband. I have thought it was nice, but hadn't considered the high school science class perspective.

At my age, the AMH and the AFC suggested PCOS. At her age (She is in her early 20s right?), it just probably means she has bushels of eggs sitting in her ovaries. <br /><br />I'd also HIGHLY recommend getting her vitamin D3 tested and making sure she is nice and high before you embark on this journey....<br /><br />Glad things are coming along, and everything about E is checking out so nicely!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553205805046479504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-27690283692473625472011-10-25T12:50:29.463-04:002011-10-25T12:50:29.463-04:00So excited for you both!

I hope you get in the December timeframe for your cycle...Christmas baby! <br /><br />You raise some interesting points on donor eggs - I had not thought about the blood type issue before, very interesting. I hope you are able to establish a semi-known donation status. It seems like many of the mother of donor egg children end up wanting to have that option for their children later in life.<br /><br />Thanks as always for sharing this information.newbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779719410948226318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-7578256777171234952011-10-25T09:38:15.446-04:002011-10-25T09:38:15.446-04:00You know I love the detail :) and these posts are ...You know I love the detail :) and these posts are just doing it for me (how sad am I?!)<br /><br />I wonder if she doesn't just want a comeback from the child - "you're my mother" kind of thing?<br /><br />Thinking aloud...<br /><br />PS what is your MBTI?Marcia (123 blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581613927187600748noreply@blogger.com
