    Bec - I agree with MsPink the three months will go quick ...we had to wait for 3 months too. My 3 months are up and have been told that I will have to wait for a couple of weeks more as they're waiting on a recipient that's before me on the waiting list to select her donor.

    I agree 3 months goes fast when you look back, when you're right in it, it can drag and drag...

    We're 3 months into our 6 month 'donor sperm' quarantine period, so yes the last 3 months have flown by, but the next 3 months feel like they're ages away

    I have a question for those who have used a known donor and have had to wait the 6 months quarantine period. Our 6 months is up on May 11, how long is the wait between the expiry date and getting the all clear from the docs to use the donor sperm? I guess I ask because if I can, I want to already be underway with my cycle so I can try to coincide EPU with the release of our donor sperm...if you know what i mean... rather than getting the all clear and only then starting the cycle?

    Hi all, was a time when we used to fly through these threads LOL, hope all are well in DC, I seriously don't have time to pop in much at all lately ( doesn't help that I'm ever so addicted to FB) We are still trucking along in Tassie, DS is the big 1 now and has started running everywhere and I am working 4 days a week in family day care which is great as I get to spend my time with my precious babies (mind you DD will be 4 in July and we have started the scary process of school shopping) Have been considering revisiting the idea of no#3 but I don't think it will happen at this point but we are more than happy with where we are.
    We have 3 embies left in storage and we will wait a little while before we make a decision on their future.
    just wanted to send best wishes to all for what ever stage of the DC journey you are on, will check in from time to make sure we are all OK , Blizz and the gang xxxx

    Hi girls

    I haven been in here in who knows how long. I am getting closer to the time to look for IPs. My cycle is on it's way back and we are nearly ready to make the final decision on whether our family is complete. I know there is no way i can donate while bf so pretty much when i finish bfing we will make our final decisions and step up the hunt.

    Hi, I am just starting the process of being a donor. Waiting for the info pack to arrive from concepts and then on to decide whether to go down the known or unknown donor path. Just wondering of those people that are waiting to receive (or have received), what were your reasons for going unknown versus known ( vice versa)

    I think the situation is a little different now. When I was tryign to conceive my daughter, anonymous meant exactly that so you never had an opportunity to find out any information about your daughter.

    I believe going through a clinic with a central coordinator may make the process a little easier as they do all the liasing. But its perhaps a personal preference. There is always the possibility of doing your own advertising on forums and etc but have it coordinated via the clinic.
