The Other Woman

I sometimes think about the other woman, the woman who got 9 of my eggs.

I sometimes wonder how she's doing, and if it worked for her. Both of our two week waits ended on the same day, and I wonder if they have the same outcome. We are allowed to find out if it worked for her or not.

But we choose not.

Maybe someday, many years down the line, we will ask. Or maybe 18 years from now someone knocks on my door, as they are allowed to do when they turn 18 and can find out who the biological mother is.

Or maybe not.

For now, I truly just wish her luck.

I don't want to know.

I think you are smart not to find out. You have to protect your heart from any further hurt.

It doesn't matter if it's happened for her or not. What matters is you gave her 9 chances. And that was an amazing thing to do.

No matter how it turned out for her, it would be very hard to hear I think. Take care.

I don't blame you, I don't think I would want to know either.
