Only frozen embryos - disappointed

I am a 39 yo SMBC of an 8 yo son. I kept his donor’s sperm just in case and, on the 25th September, I started my FIV journey in Spain (I am Spaniard). Previously I had only done insemination.

I have been insecure about it all the time as financially I will manage but struggle and my health is not the best (chronic pain since I was 19). But I am an only child and my mom passed away in 2023 so I wanted to give him a sibling (he does want it since always).

Well, today I had my last consultation prior to the egg retrieval in two days. Apparently, I have so many eggs that they cannot implant a fresh embryo because of health risks for me.

This has been disappointing, as I had everything pretty calculated and now I have to freeze my embryos and proceed minimum one month later (maybe more as in Sevilla in summer it cannot be a good experience to be pregnant).

I ofc consider myself lucky of having the possibility of a maybe succesful future pregnancy (more than 25 eggs between both ovaries, half between 17/20mm). But the journey is not being easy.

Thanks for reading friends!!!!

My son: blue or gray?

My son has these eyes. I always considered them blue, but he recently told me he has gray eyes because they go greenish or lighter blue or darker blue depending on the weather and clothes he wears. So I doubt between blue or gray or…? Thanks!!

Leaving a Baby

What would happen if we left a baby in the island? Would they raise it like part of their village or would they kill it? Would it be a motive of fight between them?
