Not mine?

Interestingly, I found out that I have no legal rights to the embryos in the case of a divorce because they do not contain my gametes.

I find this fascinating since I am the one who has taken the birth control pills that caused me to bleed for 6 weeks, and the Lupron injections that give me headaches and night sweats, I am the one who has had all the ultrasounds, I have to have the progesterone injections, take the steroids, take the antibiotics, have the embryos put back into me.....but they are not mine because they do not have my gametes? They are my family genetic material, they came from MY SISTER! Did I mention my insurance is helping to pay for the procedure?

Insert huge eye roll here.....
