For&nbsp;most of the couples and&nbsp;single women <strong>egg donation<\/strong> is not and&nbsp;has not been their first choice- everyone wants to have genetic children!<\/p>\n<h3>But&nbsp;now they find themselves in&nbsp;a situation where&nbsp;there are only two choices left:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Continue their lives without children?<\/li>\n<li>Do donation? (as adoption and&nbsp;foster home is no longer an option for&nbsp;them)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Then they need to ask themselves the question:<\/h3>\n<p>Do you think it is ok and&nbsp;enough if&nbsp;you let 40 percent of your thoughts and&nbsp;feelings cope with the emotional aspect that&nbsp;you cannot have genetic children and&nbsp;the other 60 percent of you is motivated and&nbsp;focused on&nbsp;doing <strong>egg donation treatment<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>A lot of patients get relief when&nbsp;they hear that&nbsp;they don\u2019t have to feel that&nbsp;<strong>egg donation<\/strong> is 100 percent right for&nbsp;them before&nbsp;they start treatment! They still have time to process what they have been through in&nbsp;past <strong>fertility treatment<\/strong> and&nbsp;time to accept and&nbsp;normalize the <strong>donation treatment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;60 percent of you says that&nbsp;donation is right, then do it! You need to grab your chance while&nbsp;you still have it!<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;you are unsure what to do, or&nbsp;your partner is unsure tell him, or&nbsp;her about the 60 \/ 40 rule, don\u2019t sit and&nbsp;wait for&nbsp;that 100 percent feeling as&nbsp;it might never happen and&nbsp;then you have lost your chance!<\/p>\n<p class=\"accent3\">We wish you the best of luck!<br \/>\nTone Br\u00e5ten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling unsure about egg donation?
