[EmptyNest]

Hi,
"We are a couple who have been trying to start a family since we got married eight years ago. We have tried various IVF treatments and have now been advised that this is no longeer an option. The only way we can continue to hope for a child is to find an egg donor. If you would like to help us, please email want_to_help@live.com.au. All travel and medical expenses will be reimbursed.
This advertisement has been approved by the Victorian Minister of Health, as required by s.40 of the Human Tissues Act 1982 (Vic) (May 2008)."

Thats the official "advert", a bit more about us: We have been together 12 years, :hugs:married for eight years and on IVF for the past four years. We have been advised by Monash IVF that the best hope for starting a family is through an egg donor. So here we are.
I work in IT... :geek: and my wife looks after me :hair:, we have two cats (surrogate children?) and live in south-east Melbourne.
We have always wanted children but cannot have them. We had three IUI cycles and five full IVF cycles with Monash IVF resulting in two "chemical" pregnancies where the egg fertilised but did not implant. :gloomy: We've tried accupunture (ouch!) and even changed our diet which seemed to work as we fell pregnant naturally but miscarried at seven weeks :(.
So, is there anyone who can help us? We have permission from the Victorian Minister of Health to advertise and can pay all medical and travel costs. But more than this we will forever be indebted to you if you can give us this precious gift of life! :angel:
Please help us fill our nest!
Thank you
The Empty Nesters

Thanks for letting us know.

We'll close this thread for now so that PED can more easily find the ppl who are actively seeking a donor. But please keep us posted on how you are doing in the ED issues forum.

Best of luck.
