By: Adele O'Connor
  • Summary

  • Are you considering donor egg IVF and feeling overwhelmed? For soul led women on a donor egg pathway to parenthood. Honest and heart felt conversations, diving into all of the topics around donor egg ivf and what it means to parent a donor egg conceived child.

    Your host is Adele O’Connor, fertility coach, hypnotherapist, counsellor and podcast host.

    When women seeking to create family after years of heartbreak, grief and disappointment find themselves facing the loss of their own eggs and genetics and new challenges navigating the donor egg pathway she helps to fast track their knowledge with mind body connection strategies and a healing pathway. Her clients refer to her as a torchbearer for women on a donor egg pathway.

    Adele hosts and produces a pioneering podcast lifting the veil of secrecy on all topics donor egg ivf.

    Her mission is to share real stories from real women navigating family creation via egg donation.

    She advocates and educates for families to have full transparency about their child’s conception story.

    My wish is for these brave and courageous families to feel a sense of celebration and eradicate shame and secrecy and the stigma around donor egg third party reproduction.

    Supporting families with the emotional part of this journey not only helps the parents but in turn helps our future children conceived via egg donation to feel proud of how much their parents wanted them and to celebrate their conception story.

  • 72. Coping with Miscarriage on the Donor Egg Journey
    Oct 4 2024

    Send us a text

    In this heartfelt episode, we continue our conversation on the complex emotions and spiritual perspectives surrounding miscarriage, particularly for those on the donor egg journey. 💜

    ✨ **What You’ll Hear:**
    - A discussion on the grief and confusion women experience when a miscarriage happens on a donor egg journey.
    - How miscarriage can be seen through a spiritual lens, as a sacred pause or moment of alignment rather than a loss.
    - The concept of the *spirit baby*—how some women feel the presence of a soul around them, even during challenging times.
    - The inspiration behind the guided meditation I created for early miscarriage, which I’ll be sharing in the next episode.

    💫 **Why It Matters:**
    Women on the donor egg path often endure multiple losses, both with their own eggs and donor eggs. Miscarriage is a deeply isolating experience, yet it's rarely discussed openly. Through sharing this episode and next week’s meditation, I hope to provide comfort, understanding, and healing support.

  • 71. Some Words On Pregnancy Loss. It's NOT Your Fault.
    Sep 24 2024

    Send us a text

    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.

    Call to Action: If you’re navigating a donor egg journey and need personalized support, let’s connect. You’re not alone. Book a 1:1 session with me for emotional support, counseling, or hypnotherapy, and we’ll work through these challenges together. Sending love to you on this path. 💕
