{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Donor Egg Diary: The Insider Track for 45+","slug":"donoreggdiary","podcastDescription":"

\"Consider using donor eggs.\" When those words hit me, everything stopped. It was like a bomb went off, and I was just too shocked to really look at the clinical PDFs I was sent. If you’re in that same silence today, I’ve been there.

I’m Mom-on-a-Mission, and I created this diary for a real, private conversation about what is happening—not a bunch of \"process\" information that feels cold and clinical. Let's sort through the static together, for your family and for the child you’re waiting to meet. You don't have to go it alone.
