    joining the rollercoaster

    Hi all,
    Well after posting in this thread for about 18 months and TTC no 2 for 3 years naturally, we are actually going to start IVF with my eggs! It is a long story but we have been considering using donor eggs for about 5 months and we have a donor but we just feel we need to try with our own eggs first or the thought "could IVF work for us??" will always be in our heads. The odds that it will work are only 1 - 5% because of my age but I am hoping the herbs I have been taking, from the lady who was recently in the news about the grandmother getting pg., may have some affect.
    so we have an appt. with the RE on feb 14.
    I have not been around much in the past few months but will be joining in again. see you around.

    Hey Anney
    Am so happy to see your post. From one 'oldie' to another, I completely understand where you're coming from regarding wanting to use your own eggs first.
    RE on Valentine's Day can only be a good sign!!
    Good luck - I'll be watching your progress avidly.
    Love
    Sue

    Excellent news Anney!

    I pray that you're in the percentile that succeeds, you very much deserve it! And I think it's fantastic news that you're giving it a go with your own eggs first!

    Sounds to me anney that you are doing things the right way... Good idea to try your own first... You never want to have that 'what if' looming over you for the rest of your life...

    Take care and all the very best...

    love and hugs

    Anney, this is marvellous news ... I'm so happy you are going ahead with this and I wish you all the best. I was wondering how things were going with you.

    Hope the herbs do the trick ... you never know!

    Great to have you back.

    Love,

    Mel
