I just want to wish you luck on your decisions. The donor route is a fantastic way for women who want the experience of carrying their own child, but would not be able to do it with their own eggs. You see as how I said "their own child" Once you have become pregnant through donor eggs, I dont see how anyone would feel as if the child was not thiers. You carry and nurture them for 9 months and though they may not have the same DNA, they are yours! There are quite a few women pregnant now by Donor eggs on here, whom would love to give you advice and tell you what a wonderful gift they have been given. As for telling your child that they were conceived through donor eggs, I would agree its important for children to know the truth, but as for when to tell is totally a personal decision.

Some people are totally fine with having only one child and feel blessed for that one. Some women long for another once the 1st child reaches a certain age.
Can you and your Husband be happy with the one child you have and not always be longing for another? That is something only the two of you know. Will it put strain on your marriage only having one child because you truely want another? just some things to think about.

Much Luck to you
