Taboo

I have been a regular blog stalker for the past couple months, never making any comments or actually blogging myself until now, but really trying to learn from everyone else's experiences with infertility.  It's been thought provoking, scary at times, and I've found some humor in it as well.  The one thing I haven't come across very much is the subject of egg donation.  I sort of feel like it is a taboo subject. I've only come across a few blogs (literally only 2) that talk about it as being part of their journey.  I'm sure there are more.  I just haven't found them yet.

One reason for that is because when I get interested in a blog, I start at the beginning of their story and read through their entire journey, even if it starts several years back!  It's like I'm reading a true life book and I really enjoy it.   So I really haven't read through an extreme number of blogs, although it feels like it.  I have found lots of things that I can relate too and I really appreciate that.  But as we are taking this next step into using Sis as our egg donor, I am craving finding others that have undergone the same thing or even better, going through it at the same time.

A common thread that I read in many blogs is the support that these women have found from others going through the same thing.  This is what has prompted me to go from a stalker to an actual blogger!  First, I crave that kindred relationship.  Second, maybe my story will help someone else.  And third, I have always loved writing and I find this to be therapeutic.  Maybe I can help make this aspect of infertility not so taboo...
