Very interesting what it said.<BR/>And yes, it does look like we'll be cycling at the same time. :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154636161249104743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-73670677883475109492007-08-24T15:29:00.000-04:002007-08-24T15:29:00.000-04:00It's seems that you have made peace with your jour...It's seems that you have made peace with your journey.

I am moving forward on letting go of my genes and logically I am already there - I can't keep drawing this out hoping that my ever diminishing chances will still get us our lucky baby. <BR/><BR/>I was also going to comment on the study of epigenetics. One study found they could change the color and size of mice (light brown and large to dark brown and small) depending on what they fed the mother. We will influence how our child's genes are expressed. Let me know if you would like me to find the article for you. <BR/><BR/>Thanks also for commenting on my blog! It is nice to meet a fellow DE'er. It sounds like we will be virtual cycle buddies - my donor should have her retrieval around Sept 23rd.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-18997719365033309542007-08-24T09:30:00.000-04:002007-08-24T09:30:00.000-04:00Lovely post.

She's got all the talent. <BR/><BR/>But she always says that it's her blood will grow that little baby, and it's her voice it will hear, and her heartbeat that will soothe it, so it will come out a part of her. <BR/><BR/>I also think there's something cool about a child coming from three people. That's a lot of love and life propelling that little being into existence.gold starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924669074969461237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-90948194989374533992007-08-24T02:49:00.000-04:002007-08-24T02:49:00.000-04:00That's a great post.

Occasionally I have a moment's sadness that this baby/ies will not have that little bit of me, the bit which is genetics.<BR/><BR/>But I look at my DS, and I think... all these things about him, his fearlessness, his love of water, his total confidence that he is righht... is that from my DNA? His father's DNA? Or from BEING MY CHILD? I must admit, I think it's from being mine. <BR/><BR/>Nurture, as much as nature.<BR/><BR/>We will see ourselves in our children, and we will see our lovely donors, and we will see the essence of any child which is just... himself.Drowned Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930956007436787200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-83886114771678871362007-08-23T22:41:00.000-04:002007-08-23T22:41:00.000-04:00I have said this before and I'll say it again, and...I have said this before and I'll say it again, and I can't say it passionately enough. I have a DS from donor eggs. I love him with every fibre of my being, every breath. And on the other side of my journey, I am absolutely grateful that I am infertile and had to use donor eggs, because otherwise I wouldn't have THIS precious child.

My adopted nephew is just as much part of my family as those that are genetically related to me. Genetics isn't what makes a child 'yours'...love is. :)LadyofAvalon56https://www.blogger.com/profile/12486252994725146208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-32177457726557812032007-08-21T18:48:00.000-04:002007-08-21T18:48:00.000-04:00Hey there!I wanted to share that I saw a great PBS...Hey there!<BR/>I wanted to share that I saw a great PBS science show about epi-genetics. Essentiall, depending on environmental parts of a person's DNA can be switched on or off, depending. This is called epi-genetics. It's really facinating and does lend itself to the idea that we are so much more than our DNA we are products of where we come from and how we are raised, and just perhaps, what uterus we are grown within. I have also resolved my DNA feelings, but I found the information facinating. Best of luck with your CD15 scan!<BR/>DaisyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
