If someone would have told me then…That using a donor egg was going to feel like this… I would have said “YES” instantly! I love our path to parenthood because, like most, I was determined to have a child with my DNA! It meant everything to me. But why? Why did it matter if the baby had my eyes, my dimples, or looked like me? While you can select a donor with similar physical traits as yourself, it was my battle with infertility that led me to reflect on what truly mattered to me. My deepest desire was to be a mom—to carry and hold a healthy baby in my arms. So I CHOSE egg donation. “Family” is not defined by genetics; it’s about how we love, how we show up, and how we nurture one another. Here are some things to consider if you are thinking about egg donation: Things I know now that I wish I knew then: – I’m MOM and will always be MOM! – I don’t have to worry about “my biological clock” as much as I thought – The desire to use my DNA became meaningless. -Finding your donor can be exciting! -You can have sex for fun again! -Frozen donor eggs can potentially be more affordable than endless rounds of IVF with your own eggs! -With frozen donor eggs, you have more control over your timeline! If egg donation is the path you choose, then you should know that @DonorEggBankUSA has a database of donors ready for an immediate cycle start! The donor’s frozen eggs are ready when you are; there is never a wait to match with an egg donor on their database. Plus, what’s more, they have a 100% Assured Refund Plan®, so you can have peace of mind that you will bring home a baby or receive your money back.* That’s right…a live birth guarantee! Thank you, #DonorEggBankUSA, for offering the information and support we need to embark on this journey and also understanding that our desires can be achieved because of the care you provide for your clients. #DonorEggBankUSApartner #donoregg #deivf #ivfjourney #donoreggs #donoreggmomma * Must qualify for plan.

It’s weird how certain moments in a scene stay with you…this was one of my favorites. #Prison break #maricruz #sucre #netflix
I share this video not to convince you to use donor eggs but to tell you, the hardest decision I ever had to make was the best decision of my life. I used to shudder at the term “donor” — it would send me into a downward spiral of self-hatred, loneliness, and an incredible loss of control. The world became one giant trigger filled with constant reminders of what I didn’t have. One day (after much therapy) I began to shift my lens. I became grateful for the science and to our donor, whose sacrifice allowed me to experience a side of motherhood I only could dream about. I’m grateful for this online community and for companies like @DonorEggBankUSA, who not only have a wonderful team of Family Building Consultants who truly care about your journey, but also, with their partner clinics, have created amazing resources for those on the frozen donor egg journey, like their blog and free webinar series. One of the most amazing benefits that #DonorEggBankUSA has is a financial plan that guarantees a baby or 100% refund.* Thank you, Donor Egg Bank USA for seeing us and helping us become parents. *Must qualify to participate. 50% refund if intended parent chooses to withdraw from plan. See the Financial Plan Agreement for further details & restrictions. #AD #donoregg #deivf #fertilityjourney

Whoever said that nothing in life is free…was wrong. What do you think?
Welcome to #CherryPicks #ActorSpotlight, where we talk to female & non-binary actors from across the industry about their journey to get where they are now. 🎭 Today, we’re hearing from Camille Guaty, who is best known for her role on #PrisonBreak and most recently stars in the new movie adaptation of #HaroldAndThePurpleCrayon, in theaters this weekend! She discusses what show made her want to be an actor, the three pieces of advice she takes with her to this day, her challenging journey to get pregnant as a working actor, and much more. @camilleguaty @haroldmovie @prisonbreak #camilleguaty #prisonbreakedit #prisonbreakfans #prisonbreakcast #femalefilmmaker #womeninfilm #womenincinema #inspiringwomen #womeninfilmandtv #womeninfilmmaking #newmovies2024 #filmcritic #moviereview #cinematic #cinephileclub #cinephilecommunity #moviewatchlist #movielover #filmbuff #tvlover #tvseriesaddicted #tvreview #pregnancyjourney #ivfjourney
“My favorite travel buddies are those with an adventurous spirit and those who say yes! A loose, go with the flow vibe always turns into my favorite vacations. Hands down I’d take Piper Nielson from ‘Las Vegas’ with me anywhere. She has such a zest for life and would be game for anything. On the flip side, I probably wouldn’t want to travel with a wanted criminal! So I’d have to say I’d leave La Fiera from ‘The Rookie’ home.” — @camilleguaty 📰 My column is syndicated to about 100 outlets nationwide by the Tribune Content Agency.

@HaroldMovie star @CamilleGuaty said that being cast as Junior Detective Silva in the film was serendipitous. “Becoming a mom was a really hard journey and I find it so magical that one of my first jobs as a mom was [this film],” the actress said from her Nashville home. “It has become one of my son’s favorite books. We read it at least five times a week. Every time he sees the policeman in the book, he says, ‘Mommy, that’s you!’ To be able to share this experience with him is one I’ll never forget.” My syndicated column already released online. But it’s in print today in outlets like the Sunday @chicagotribune, @OrlandoSentinel and @BaltimoreSun. 📸 @bradenmoran
