Hi Jen,

I’m so sorry - I haven’t checked in here for ages and was just wondering about how you were getting on. It’s great news that you have progressed and chosen a donor but too bad that your doctor hasn’t been very helpful. We were at a different branch of the same clinic and I think that we were very lucky with our doctor. Have you started your first IVF cycle yet? How has it all been going?

About your doctor’s question regarding what to do with your embryos if something happened to you, I was given a form at the beginning of my treatment to consent to my partner being able to use our embryos in my absence. Perhaps this is what your doc was talking about?

I am 27 weeks pregnant now and everything seems to be going really well.

I’ll check in here more regularly now that I know that you have started the process. I can’t wait to hear how things have gone. Fingers crossed for you.

Liz
