In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking to Tracie, a 43-years-old woman from the Midwest USA who shares her experience with infertility and her decision to use donor eggs to conceive her daughter.
At the age of 34, Tracie and her husband began a determined quest for a baby hoping to conceive naturally. After a year and a half of trying, they sought medical help and tried various treatments, such as: acupuncture, IUIs, and IVF.
Tracie tried everything, including 'bee sting' therapy!
However, she had to face multiple unsuccessful attempts and many miscarriages. A doctor recommended using donor eggs, but Tracie initially resisted the idea, determined to conceive with her own eggs.
Eventually, Tracie found another fertility clinic with a great doctor who was able to retrieve eggs from her successfully. But the journey was still tough, again with many failed attempts along the way. It was not easy for her to stay positive in her journey as her problems were inclining every step.
However, Tracie shares that her turning point came when she was listening to a podcast where a woman discussed her own challenges and posed the question: 'What's more important to you - having your own genetics or having a baby?
She explained, 'That's when it just clicked for me. I realized, Oh my gosh, I just want a baby. So, I thought, okay, if this next attempt doesn't work, we're going to try donor eggs. At that point, I completely embraced the idea and felt an immense relief once I made that decision.' From then on Tracie decided to move forward with using donor eggs. They found a suitable donor, and the first transfer was successful, leading her to a healthy pregnancy and the birth of a beautiful and healthy daughter.
Tracie's path was marked by challenges. One of them was showing up day to day in a job she disliked for years, yet the outstanding insurance package meant she could continue with her fertility journey. She wouldn't quit until she got the baby in arms, that was on her heart.
She hopes that by sharing her story, others can find hope and strength on their own paths to parenthood.
