Michele W.,

I agree--it is a luxury to be able to take time to plan for the

future rather than be crazed by the moment. I'll take that any

day. But at any rate, I think about how people have their eggs

frozen and pay a fee per month to keep them maintained. I've

actually thought about having my niece (who is 20 years old

now) donate some eggs to Carmen. I'm not sure if Carmen would even

want to even use her cousin's eggs--but I would love to tell her she

had the option if it ever came to be. She of course could always

adopt or use donated eggs from a stranger--oh so much to ponder and

plan for--even if it is only a possibility.
