This isn’t quite how it was meant to be
Most single women, although not all, had planned to have a family with a partner. Becoming a solo mum is not what they imagined for their life and this can add to the complexity of making the decision on whether to move forward or not.
Women who have already decided to try with donor sperm and then discover they may also need to use donor eggs sometimes have to reconsider their decision to become a parent. Losing that genetic connection completely can bring up deep feelings of sadness and grief. If that’s true for you, it’s really important to allow yourself space to process those feelings before moving forward.
There are important decisions to make which really isn’t easy when you’re also managing those complicated feelings. Give yourself time and make sure you get good support. And try not to rush things.
