Thank you Mary Beth. I am extremely happy and still can not believe I'm pregnant after trying for so long! Needless to say my son is also very excited about a sibling. Only problem is he wants a brother but I'm sure if it is a girl, he will be just as happy

After my 3rd cycle we changed to a new RE. At that point we were considering donor eggs but made the decision that we would try 2 more times with mine. Chances using my eggs were only 10%, donor eggs was 70%. After those two cycle we sat down and discussed all the reasons we wanted another child. All those same questions you have went through our minds as well. What it all came down to was a sibling for our son. We knew the only way to accomplish this was to adopt or use donor eggs. I wanted donor eggs because I wanted to be able to carry the baby and feel like it was apart of me, which it does. It is also a part of my DH. I felt if we adopted I would not have felt a connection to the child. We are extremely happy with our decision and this baby will always be a part of both of us! All the questions you have are normal but it sounds like it all comes down to the same reason I wanted another baby, a sibling for my child! Best wishes.
