Donor Conception General Chatter #8

[Caramello]

Not good news.

Only one has survived - and will only survive to a 3 day blast.

Going back in on Monday.

DH and I are shattered - he wrote earlier about it.

I'll come back again when I'm more positive - at the moment I just am finding it very hard to hope.

Apologies hun, I just read... But dont give up the positive thinking!!!!

[blizz]

[Malyna]

[Lieve]

Gargy, don't worry about finding it hard to hope, hopefully our 'collective' hope here for you will help.

Hi Everyone

Gargy - I hope you are feeling ok... I am sending lots of positive vibes so your little embie sticks!! Thinking of you.....

Well AF finally showed up last Friday... Yay!! So I started Gonal F on Sunday and will have this till about day 12 of cycle... then trigger and 5-7 days after will have the transfer. Seems to be a bit nicer on the body than a full blown IVF cycle.

How is everyone else travelling?

Hi ladies... some of you may remember me from last year, some may not!! For those that were around then.. my apologies for disappearing from the forum, without even saying goodbye... but my head was all over the place, and the rollercoaster ride we were on was getting a little too much for me, so I decided to put it in the sand for a year!! (I have however popped by every now and then to see where everyone is up to in their journey... you're up to general chatter 8 now... so alot has happened!!)

As a refresher, we first found out my DH had azoospermia in November last year after TTC for a year - he had the PESA/TESA in December (with no sperm found) - we spent Christmas under a dark cloud - January thinking about using DS - February, we decided that we weren't mentally ready to give up, so we committed to 8 months of healthy lifestyles (no wine!!), acupuncture and all the chinese herbs you could imagine, in readiness for DH's biopsy in October. Although we were hoping for a miracle with his biopsy, it didn't happen for us.

So... over the last month, we have been trying to decide where to from here for us... which has bought be back here to you... we have decided to go ahead with donor... we have actually been speaking with DH's brother (and his wife) about the possibility of him being our donor (which is the nicest news we have received in 12 months). We've both been researching, reading and speaking to anyone we can about it all - but the one thing we can't find is information for their family - that is, for them and their 2 children - there is lots for us as the recipient, but not for them as the donor. Does anyone know of anything/anywhere/anyone we can speak to?

I hope everyone is well and I will spend tomorrow reading the rest of the thread, to catch up on the news.
