Being on the pill for a couple of months is not going to affect my chances for doing IUI and IVF in the future because once I start up again on one of these programs my ovaries will be artificially simulated again to produce an egg.
When people are TTC using normal methods it takes 3 - 12 months for the pill to get out of their system and for them to return to a normal cycle.
Gargy,
My understanding is that it does not really take that long to get the pill out of your system. some people get pregnant the month after being on the pill so I guess, like most things to do with TTC, it varies with different people. But really there is no time needed to get it out of your system as really, as soon as you stop taking it , it is out of your system. some people will just take a bit longer to get back to "normal". that is how I understand it.
Well ladies...
A wonderful lady, Heather from Lismore, has offered to be my Egg Donor. She is a lovely lady and I don't think I will ever be able to express the gratitude and respect I feel for her. Such an enormous gift to offer. She has three children - the eldest only started school this year, a three year old and a bub five weeks old. Her hands are full yet she is fully focussed on helping me become a mum.
We have been chatting daily for around a month and yesterday she told me she wants to 'commit'. We're looking to meet IRL in July and have our initial consultations and counselling. All going well, we can kick off some time between September and December this year.
I am completely overwhelmed - grinning, crying, grinning
Must have been a good night for both of us! DH and I had our DS friend over for dinnner last night. DH went all out - he cooked Mussaman Beef Curry, Yellow Chicken Curry, Steam Veges and Roti from scratch - it was really important to him to do this for our DS friend.
I went out for lunch with DH earlier that day when we were buying ingredients - and we went through all the questions I could think of, including the list below. I was treating it more like an adoption, and DH said, "no, I don't think that's how it will be".
Anyway when my DS friend came over and we started discussing how it would be I was amazed how he 'got' it much more than I did, and the DH was also on the right path. I was also extremely surprised by how well the two got on together and how alike they were in nature and the way they thought. I have known both of these men for a very long time but in my stress and depression last week I'd forgotten how wonderful they both are.
I was touched by how much our DS trusted and respected us. He spelled out that he never, ever will interfere. This made DH feel so much better. Anyway I grilled him for about two hours on all the questions that DH and I had gone through over lunch. Luckily we also had a very good wine so that helped (feeling slightly worse for wear this morning, but very, very happy.)
I really feel that this has every chance of working! I'm so lucky to have such a good husband and such a good friend!
DH and I were also going to go to a donor conception support function today but I think that this would be pushing it - one step at a time. May be better to leave this until the baby is on it's way or actually here.
Anyway, thankyou all for all your help and support over the past few weeks - it was very much appreciated!!
I was so happy that I didn't realise that I had just addressed the last email to just SuziQ and not everyone! So thankyou SuziQ, and thankyou everyone else for all your help over the past few weeks! It was very much appreciated!!
