Dear Ladies,

First of all, we would like to apologise for not posting our update since April of this year. As you can well imagine, seeking an Egg Donor for the very first time and the emotions and excitement in meeting our Angel was mind blowing to say the least.

Well, where do we start, since our last post, we met our Egg Donor and her family for the first time in April. It was just wonderful a magic moment she even surprised us at the Airport when we arrived. A beautiful, caring and loving person along with her two girls and DH. You just should have seen me on the plane I was so so nervous and DH was so so relaxed !!!

Well, we visited the clinic Sunshine Coast and the DR was just wonderful and the nurse. Very relaxing and had that personal touch which is so important. We then organised to come back for the transfer a month later and our Angel produced 29 eggs of which 14 were mature and 7 embies were grade A. We were so happy with the results and on day 3 we transferred 1 embryo at morula stage.

Well, it was unsuccessful but we had six embryos that were waiting to snuggle upto mummy's tummy. You can imagine how we felt that day with a BFN result !!! So, we decided to try again immediately. We lost two in the thawing process which was devastating and transferred 1 embryo and again BFN result !!! :gloomy:

Our Angel was very upset and you can well imagine our sorrow and questions why is this not working ???? :gloomy:

Our Dr advised us it's the luck of the draw a number's game. So, we are now planning another transfer for this coming week I have a scan on Thursday 17/8 and will probably have the egg transfer on the weekend. We have requested this time 2 embryos and will see !!!

We are not giving hope and we will continue our quest to becoming parents and with the support of DH our Angel and her family and closest friends and ladies on AED and Bub Hub forums we will pull through and can't wait to announce our positive results.

Love to all
Stephanie

Dear xkwzit

Thank you for your reply, I have been conscious that no one will respond to my post because I have been away for too long. I truly appreciate your reply and I have been in communication with Supermum and she knows our journey fairly well. We hope it will work this time, my DH today during lunch showed anxiousness in us having our baby He tries to be at all times relaxed and not show anxiety always very positive eventhough we have been trying for so long !

Love and thank you for your support it means alot to us :wave:

I guess that as a women who conceived easily, I don't really know how to offer support, or even if it would be helpful. I do so hope you get your baby soon:hugs: and I am hear to listen anytime.

Yes, it has been a long road, but we are not giving up just yet, it will happen but it's when ! Let's hope it's this cycle, likely to have the transfer done this weekend. Cross fingers all goes well...

Thank you for responding to my post, I have placed a post on the AED forum as well....

Misskittyfantastico thank you for your support as well...

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for your post, it's great to hear how someone's journey is going.

Very sorry that you have had 2 bfn's :mad: , but happy for you that you have a couple more popsicles.

Great idea to put two back.

Good luck and will keep following.

Dear Ladies,

It is with great sadness to say that our transfer was planned today but our embryos did not survive the thawing process. We now don't have embryos available to us and will be seeking our Angel if she is prepared to go through this journey again. We will respect her decision if she is unable to. Hence, we may well be seeking an egg donor shortly. We tend to advertise in the Melbourne,Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide child magazine....

It has been such a long journey and how much more we can endure !

Love to all
Stephanie:crying:

Dear Ladies,

Unfortunately our special lady is unable to continue our journey due to health reasons. Hence, we are seeking an egg donor. Please refer to our post in Egg Donor Needed 'Miracles do happen can you make it happen for us'...

I will now close this thread...

Love
Stephanie
