Hi Ladies,

This is probably one of the most difficult things I have had to write. I guess it is something you never dream you would have to do.
Well, here goes. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (early menopause) in my late teens, which was devastating to say the least. I am now in my early 30’s, and now married (after my initial diagnosis I wondered if I would ever get married, but I am now to a lovely man- I guess love is like that). My wonderful husband and I require egg donation to begin our family.

Three years ago, purely by chance we had an offer of donation by a kind & amazing lady and went through the long counselling, collection & storage process. After an early m/c first time around, unfortunately we didn’t have any more success with the 4 other embryo transfers. In the meantime, we have tried other forms of treatment, which unfortunately didn’t work either.

I am wondering if there was another compassionate woman who would be willing to help us please? As all the posts/board information says, most clinics recommend women to be under 35 years and have completed their family already. I realise that there is a lot to consider about for both donors, recipients and their families.
I can assure you, my husband and I have put serious thought into this before embarking on this journey also. I am always reading and keeping up to date with all the relevent information relating to children born via donor conception.

Although, we are a very loving and happy couple- we would dearly love to have a family and become parents and complete our family.

Thank you very much for reading (and possibly considering) my post.

Best wishes,

SallygirlWA

Thanks so much for all your good wishes- they really do provide encouragement.

We just have to wait and see. I guess these things take time, we will just wait for the right person to come along who is ready and everyone involved feels safe and comfortable. Well, I hope they come along! :)

I wish you all success in your surrogate journey. I had to laugh about the "mini me" comment! Just the fact that there are amazing people like you around give us hope.

Keep us updated in your journey too. You are changing the life of your couple in the best way possible.

Hello Green Eyed Mum

I just sent you a PM - personal message- I am just getting the hang of all this computer lingo. I hope the PM worked! We only have slow dial up internet, and sometimes it cuts out!

I will log in again tomorrow night or the next morning (hubby's birthday tmrw, so we will have a special dinner and may not have a chance after work).

Thank you.
