Today my husband and I received the news that we most not wanted to hear. We had so much hope this time as things were going well but today after progressing so far, our egg donor decided not to go through with a donation. I'm not angry just shocked and nearly running on empty. We've had 8 IVF attempts you see and this time we were hopeful because we had found a lovely donor. I have always wanted children and I didn’t intentionally wait so long. I did eventually meet the ‘best of men’ but not until I was 38, got married at 39 and after trying naturally followed by those IVF attempts, two miscarriages and three years of natural fertility treatment, my husband and I are so saddened that we have been unable to have a family of our own and that time has almost run out for us. Neither of us have any children from other relationships so we badly wanted one of our own. We live on the Far North Coast of NSW and are a devoted couple with lots of friend’s children in our lives. The emotional and physical rollercoaster that is IVF and the heartache of loss are not enough to stop us from hoping that we could still have a child together. We still hope to find another generous and courageous woman who would be willing to help us with an egg donation. We realise that this is not an easy thing to ask of any woman but if you are in your late 20s to mid 30s and are willing to give us this chance, we would be honored to hear from you. All expenses will be reimbursed. Please email us at: lisabelloback@yahoo.com (lisabelloback@yahoo.com)
