Please help me make dh's dream come true

[hoping123]

Hi Girls,
I'm hoping someone out there can help us. I'm not the best at putting words on paper but here is a bit about us. I was previously married for 20 yrs. I married early to a violent man and eventually I got up the courage to leave . I met Rod about a year after my marriage fell apart. He is the most loving person I have ever known. We have been trying for a child of our own for the past 3years but after 8 attempts of ivf with icsi we have been advised that our only hope of fullfilling our dream is to find an egg donor. Rod's only wish is to become a father and as he has fullfilled my life so much I would love to be able to grant this wish for him. Can some kind angel out there help us.

Hi Hoping123 and welcome to Bubhub! Your story reminds me of our situation in a small way but only in reverse- my dh has an adult child from a previous relationship, but I have none and we would love to be able to have a child together. We met and married later in life and cannot conceive naturally, so we too need to find a generous egg donor to help us realise our dream...I have spent my entire professional life assisting families and children in need and now find myself yearning for a child of my own. No use crying over wasted years when I could have had a child (but did not want to raise a child on my own), but waited for the right partner to come along and so here we are...each day that passes, we feel we might be getting closer to finding that special person so we need to be strong and patient and not give up my hope of becoming a mum... take care H123 and remember you are not alone here. This is a wonderful forum, full of really supportive women who want to do the right thing. cheers, aqua28:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

[hoping123]

Hi aqua and thankyou for the welcome. Everyone has been so friendly and supportive.I wish you all the luck with your search too.

[Stephany]

Hi Hoping123,
I can also relate to your story but in reverse, similar to Aqua28, my DH has been previously married and has two adult children and 1 grandchild another one the way. So I too know how it feels to be yearning to be a mum and trying for 7years now and not succeeding through IVF/ICSI procedures. So we are also seeking an egg donor.

It is a journey that one day you will look back with your baby in your arms with a smile to the world.

Your dream will come true, be patient and there will be a special lady to help you.

Love
Stephanie

[hoping123]

Thankyou Stephany for your kinds words. I know in my heart we will both find our angels it just going to take time.:kiss:

[sarahstarfish]

The good news is he is on the mend and will be back to himself soon.:kiss: :yelclap: :smiliedance:

[Yue Min Che]

Hi hoping I really wish just like you said ;' hope some kind angel out there help you soon . YmC

[hoping123]

hi yu min. Sorry to hear your mum is missing you. Maybe you might find a donor while you are visiting her.

[leisurly]

Hi Hoping

How are you doing, sorry you've been down, I didn't get any serious replys to my ad but I didn't do other ads but I found i didn't get down as I found the shared stories and updates kept me going and hearing what other recipients and donors were doing, but this seems to have stopped, lots of people just pop in and post there ads and I think potential donors aren't really getting a chance to know the recipients.

just a thought

Lxx

[hoping123]

I totally agree with you. Now my dh is out of hospital and on the mend I will hopefully be able to spend a bit more time on here. I have also found a lot of support in the chatroom.I find when I'm down a visiot in there allways cheers me up.

[leisurly]

Hi Hoping

I haven't ventured much from the donor forums, glad the chat room has helped, it is good to be able to chat to others. Did your hubby have problems following the burst appendix, or is he like my dad was when his was removed, you'd have thought he was the first and only person to have been operated on. Had me running after him hand and foot, even thought it would be good for me to hand wash all his jumpers!! I couldn't see how that was going to help him get better, especially as his live in partner was only 5 yrs older than me. Made me smile though, even know remembering.

Lxx

[hoping123]

hi Leisurly,
No dh wasn't quite that bad lol. But it did get to him a bit not being able to do anything for himself for a while. He is a very independent person. He is back at work now and on the mend.
Hope everthing is going well for you.

Still on the search for our donopr angel:fingerscrossed:

[jo-anne.36]

[hoping123]

Just giving you all an update. We are still searching for our donor angel. I'm going to have another blood test in a couple of weeks to see if my hormone levels are giving up on me or if it could have just been all the medication Imwas on because of so many ivf attempts. Hopefully the later is true and we might get at least one of my own eggs to use but this is a real long shot. I really want to give dh a baby of his own to love as he has so much to give.

[leisurly]

Hi Hoping

:fingerscrossed: the blood tests are all good and wishing you hear from your potential donor soon.

Lxx

[aqua28]

Hi hoping123, all the best in getting positive blood test results very soon:fingerscrossed: and in finding your :angel: donor!

cheers,
aqua:xmas:

[hoping123]

thanks for the support girls but I'm not going to get my hopes up as everytime I do they come crashing down in a huge heap. I'll just take everyday as it comes from now one. Wishing us all luck in our searches.:kiss:

[leisurly]

Hi Hoping

Sorry been off the track of late with keeping up on the searching side of things, what happened with your hopeful from queensland, was there any news.

Lesley

[hoping123]

That's okay lxx you have every reason to be off track at the moment hope the:barf: has slowed down,as to us finding our angel no luck as yet. Had a few wanting information but nothing else as yet.I'm trying to keep positive that it will happen soon.

[lilyofthevalleyandtwoboys]

I don't meant to be ignorant but I don't know much about this.
Can you make your own eggs? ie would it be suitable for you to have a surrogate mother? I'm just asking as I would be willing to be a surrogate for somebody.

[hoping123]

Thats okay your not ignorant you don't know if you don't ask. No it seems I can no longer make my own eggs, this is why we need a donor to supply us with eggs as i am still capable of carrying a child and my partner and I would prefer it this way. Hope this answers some of your questions.

[Geeg]

email coming your way hoping :)
