In today’s episode, I’m tackling a deeply sensitive topic—pregnancy loss and miscarriage—especially for those who are on a donor egg journey. 

While donor eggs can significantly increase your chances of conceiving (often to 70-80%), the chance of experiencing a miscarriage is still present.

I’ll be sharing practical tools and emotional support strategies to help you navigate this difficult experience, whether it’s a failed embryo transfer or an early pregnancy loss. It’s important to remember: it’s not your fault. 

Blame, shame, or guilt can cloud your healing, but there are ways to shift from fear to curiosity around your emotions, allowing yourself to process them in a healthy way. 

We’ll dive into recognizing and acknowledging your emotions, why they’re important, and how to take steps toward healing, whether it’s through self-care, journaling, or simply allowing yourself to feel.

Remember, your emotions are your inner guide, helping you process grief and find your way toward healing. I’m sending you love and heartfelt support as you move through this journey.

Key Takeaways:

  • Donor eggs increase your chances of success, but miscarriage remains a reality.
  • Blame and guilt have no place in your healing; it's not your fault.
  • Emotions are energy in motion; allowing them to move through you is essential for healing.
  • Tools for coping: self-care, journaling, acknowledging your emotions, and healthy expression of anger or frustration.
  • Curiosity over fear: shifting your perspective on emotional pain helps foster growth and healing.
