So where do I start to find the right words for our advertisement? I have thought about what to say for weeks and weeks on end. At first, I thought it would be easy, but every time I sat at the computer, it was like my head was :confused: , voice was overcame with laryngitis ….and fingers had “artificial arthritis”. The only body part which could communicate was my heart, so I decided that this was where the words would come from…….so here goes…….
My husband (37), and I (36) have been together for 8 years, married for just over 3. We adore one another and have a deep, loving, secure relationship and often felt as though we were always meant to be, like 2 peas in a pod! Even though, like so many others whom have experienced the trauma of infertility, we have weathered so much pain :gloomy: , tears and much, much heartache :( but our love, devotion and support for one another has always been incredibly strong and unshaken.
Our desire to have a family is profoundly deep. Our yearning to share and spread the love we have for one another means more to us than we can possibly describe with words on paper. To have a baby (or two) and add more peas to our pod to nurture, shower with love, cuddle, kiss, would be a life long dream come true. To hear those words “Mummy” & “Daddy” would be like music to our ears, like a blind man or deaf man seeing or hearing for the first time in his life. There are no words to describe the ultimate joy that parenthood would give us. We cannot possibly imagine growing old and grey, being sad and lonely and living a life without children, never experiencing parenthood. The very thought of this is incredibly frightening; and scares us to the bottom of our souls.
Both my husband and I have fertility problems. My ovaries have retired and produce few poor quality eggs (I call these my gammy, rotten eggs!). My husband has MF issues and has few, almost no sperm. We have been through 7 rounds of IVF and most of our cycles ended in failed fertilisation.
I was born an only child (Mum could not have any more children) and unfortunately, I don’t have any sisters or suitable relatives to ask for help. So here we are now, searching for an egg donor angel to be our saviour from heaven. If you are under 35, have finished your family, will you be able to help us with the precious gift of life? If there is a gorgeous soul out there somewhere, willing to donate her eggs, we would be just so overjoyed to hear from you.
We would prefer an open donation and we would like you to know in advance that we feel our child has the right to know its genetic heritage. I have already started writing a story book to tell our precious child all about how they came into being and how much they were wanted. We would also be happy to accept the donor in the child’s life if that is a choice they would like to take into consideration.
Because both of us have fertility issues, we would also consider embryo donation. If you have been through IVF, finished your family and are thinking of donating your precious embryos, might you consider donating them to us? We can assure you that any child born from a donation will never go without. They will live in a home filled with much love, laughter, happiness and security. The child would be the most precious, treasured being to ever walk the earth and we would be eternally grateful if you could help us make this dream a reality.
We live in Brisbane, Qld and our clinic is the Queensland Fertility Group. If you live within Australia, and would like to help us, maybe we could work something out? All expenses will be paid.
If you would like to know further information about us, we would be happy to share. Please send me a P.M. message on this forum, tell us a bit about yourself, where you live, and we would be happy to answer any queries you may have and give you our contact details and phone number, if you want them. Please, we only ask for genuine inquiries only as our hearts are already broken.
If, however, you would prefer to talk directly to our clinic for more information, please contact denise@qfg.com.au and quote “Melanie & Alex”. If a known donation is something you are not comfortable with and maybe you prefer an anonymous donation, we would be sad, but understand and respect your decision; please contact our clinic on the above e-mail address for further details.
Our story has turned out to be longer than expected. Thank you for taking the time to read it and allowing us to share our journey with you. We hope to find out Egg Donor Angel soon. :fingerscrossed:
