Hello :wave:
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, here's a litle bit of info about us and our TTC journey so far.
Myself (35) and my DP (33) are originally from ireland, we moved to Australia permanently eight years ago and have made a good life for ourselves in Sydney. We are fit and healthy, have good friends and really enjoy the relaxed outdoors lifestyle. We have one fur-baby, my 9 y/o four legged little maltese princess but we dearly want to start our own little family soon.
A few years ago we had a surprise unplanned natural pregnancy, and unfortunately when I found out I was pregnant I was also told that it was ectopic, so it was not meant to be and I lost my little angel :angel: at 6wks in July 2005 . The loss was probably the most difficult thing that I have been through and grieving took a long time, but the experience also changed me in some positive ways, it softened me, now I am a lot more open with my partner and friends, and for the first time ever it made me realise without a doubt how much I really longed to be a mother.
We started actively TTC about two years ago, my DP who is an eternal optimist was convinced that we would fall Pg immediately because of our first pregnancy, oh boy .....how wrong was he !! Turns out I have a lazy left ovary and my only functioning right ovary is on the tubeless side :hair:, we also have some male factor issues thrown in for fun!! The only option for pregnancy is through IVF/ICSI, which we started in Oct 07 but that isn't really going our way so far and our last four cycles were all BFN :no:. This was quite difficult for me emotionally but I am quite determined and will do whatever it takes so we are not ready to give up our dream yet.
We recently changed clinics and will try ICSI one more time in the new year but we are very much aware that we need to start looking at other options. Our RE has suggested that the next step for us would be to use donor eggs, and although I have a lot of sisters at home who are willing to help out, it's just not feasible for various reasons. We are hoping that there is someone out there who might be able to help us reach our dream of some day holding our own little baby :baby:in our arms.
If you think you can help us in any way, I would love to hear from you. :fingerscrossed:
