I love her and PVED forums. Because of her there is a place where I can get my questions answered and even read responses to questions I'm afraid to ask. Marna has created a world where egg donation is not a secret, but more of a hopeful dream. Marna is amazing as are all the people that post on PVED. From the bottom of my heart I thank Marna and don't know where I'd be today without the ability to talk to her and those who are walking or have walked in my shoes. Marna is a godsend!

]]> Comment on An Egg Retrieval from a Donor’s Perspective by Lauren http://www.extra-conceptions.com/uncategorized/an-egg-retrieval-from-a-donors-perspective/#comment-58 Lauren Thu, 02 Apr 2009 05:22:56 +0000 http://www.extra-conceptions.com/?p=57#comment-58 Hi. My name is Lauren, I am 21 years old and I am currently undergoing the egg donation process. I am a donor, and I have been giving myself injections, something I would have never seen myself doing, buts its quite easy once you get the hang of it. As you said in your blog, you handle pain quite well, me on the other hand do not. I haven't really had any side effects other than some hot flashes and headaches from the hormones, but im just scared about the pain after the surgery. You said they give you pain meds after the surgery, but do they give you a script to take home? Cause I've come to notice that ibuprofen doesn't always do the trick for post-op procedures. What else should I be expecting? I am just honored to give someone the joy of being able to take my eggs and have a baby, and be able to be pregnant. Its a great gift that I am giving to someone. I would do this again and again for others, I am also worried about how is this going to affect my fertility? How many times have you done this procedure? Hi.

Recently, a baby born via surrogacy in India was stuck in legal limbo and could not leave the country because the parents had divorced before his birth. If that had happened in California, the father would have been able to take that child home with him. I do agree that for the most part the laws in India do seem very favorable, but California is very clear on its laws and gestational surrogacy.

We just got back from a Christmas trip to Mumbai and have our fingers crossed hoping to be able to have our own children.

]]> Comment on AFA Responds to Vatican’s Dignitas Personae by Mundy http://www.extra-conceptions.com/infertility-coverage/afa-responds-to-vaticans-dignitas-personae/#comment-38 Mundy Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:27:30 +0000 http://www.extra-conceptions.com/?p=44#comment-38 La nueva instrucción Dignitas Personae elaborada por la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe y aprobada expresamente por SS Benedicto XVI indudablemente será motivo de comentarios de todo tipo, por la importancia y trascendencia del tema que trata. Si bien no nos corresponde evaluar su contenido debido a nuestro escaso nivel intelectual y teológico y la carencia de argumentación científica que pudiera justificar o denostar el tema de la fecundación asistida, no es menos cierto que de su lectura surgen elementos que nos mueven a reflexionar. Es de suponer que quienes acuden a estos métodos lo hacen impulsados por la necesidad y no por snobismo, y la posibilidad de desarrollarse como padres, cumpliendo el mandato de “creced y multiplicaos” cuesta entender que sea incompatible con la solución científica, cuando esta es una posibilidad para dar solución a problemas de infertilidad. Se dice que: El origen de la vida humana… tiene su auténtico contexto en el matrimonio y la familia, donde es generada por medio de un acto que expresa el amor recíproco entre el hombre y la mujer. Es irrebatible este concepto, aunque podría matizarse para hacerlo un poco más abarcativo y siendo tal cual se lo plantea, ¿Qué pasa con quienes dentro del matrimonio no cumplen con la castidad conyugal? Cuando los actos propios de los esposos, como muestra del amor recíproco no tienen el objetivo de la procreación, ya sea por cuestiones de determinación o por la utilización de cualquier medio que atente contra la fecundación, estaremos en la otra cara de la moneda del tema que estamos tratando. Con lo cual, si quienes utilicen o simplemente piensen en métodos no naturales para concebir, o métodos no naturales para no concebir quizás estén inmersos en situaciones similares a la de los católicos divorciados en nueva unión, cuya imposibilidad de acceder a la comunión (por citar sólo un ejemplo) es motivo de inquietud entre quienes viven todas estas problemáticas. La instrucción Dignitas Personae no es motivo de debate, pero indudablemente será motivo de más de una apreciación.
