Hey girls, hope your both well! So you are both stuck in the 8 week wait too, hoping it isn't quite that long for us all! What was the date you finally got on the waiting list, ours was the 23 of november, after a long wait to see dr Cameron, then the long process of counciling appointments, blood tests and sperm donor info! Hate playing the waiting game after trying for so long before hand!
It's lovely to hear you have a family started already and are interested in adding to it! Our family is only made up of cats and dogs do far! Lol we are out in diamond creek, how about you girls?
When you got to pick your donor the first time round, how many profiles did you get to look at? They told us anything between 2 and 6! Were you happy with your options, the limited number of profiles tends to make us a bit nervous considering we haven't been through this before! Just hoping time will pass quickly and next year will be successful for us all! Both been working heaps to get extra money behind us, especially with Xmas approaching! Can't wait for the holidays to come, definitely need a break, but was really hoping that we would have been on break when we were trying iui for the first time, just to try to ease stress in that time! Looking like we'll be back at work though! Buggar! What do you girls do? We are both in manufacturing at the moment, but chefs by trade, just got sick of the split shifts! Hope your both enjoying this crazy Melbourne weather and enjoying your weekend! : )

Hi girls,

We're in south morang, Not far from you guys and both work in healthcare. I lnow what you mean about working like crazy. We're juggling both our jobs, the kids our five animals, we're both studying and trying to scrape together enough money to start ivf next year. Its tiring to say the least but itll all be worth it in the end. We got the official go ahead from the clinic on 18th April this year and it's been all systems go ever since. We got about 4 donors to chose from I think, a couple were clearly out based on hereditary conditions and personal preference do we had to choose between two.

We're looking forward to a well deserved break over Christmas, spending time as a family instead of rushing around to work and dropping kids at school etc and trying to find a few minutes to see each other here and there too lol.

I really can't wait to start ivf but it looks as though our finances might stand in our way and west have to postpone our first cycle of ivf for a few months.

Nice to hear that theres another baby making same sex couple near us. We don't know any other gay couples with kids and I've been trying to find same sex parenting playgroups or something similar in our area but no such luck unfortunately.

Hope you're well,

Em
