127. How My Egg Donor Journey Connected Me To My Heritage with Emily Getz
On this episode of Talking Away The Taboo, Emily Getz joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about...
how she and her husband had their first child naturally and never expected that it would be difficult trying to build their family
her stillbirth and multiple miscarriages, 1 ectopic, 4 rounds of IVF and still no baby
the grief, shock, loss and heartbreak that were almost pushed to the side as they pursued every possible step in order to try to have another child
the decision of whether to walk away and be done with this part of their lives, try adoption, do IVF one more time or use donor eggs
how they came to the realization that using an egg donor was the best chance for a good outcome
how Emily wanted to connect with her donor, even beyond her looks an decided using a Jewish donor was the thing that helped her transmit some piece of her to a future baby, even if it wasn’t her genetics
