Could you be an egg donor? |
|
Thursday, 21 August 2008 |
My husband and I are both 42 and have spent the last 5 years on the IVF roller coaster. Our 1st attempt was IVF using my own eggs where we were told all my eggs were dormant and that our only hope was either donated embryos or donated eggs. We spent 17 months on the waiting list and last December we were lucky enough to have embryos matched to us. We had a Frozen Embryo transfer in January 08 which was sadly unsuccessful. As we had 2 embryos left we had another try in May 08, but only 1 embryo made it through the thaw, our embryo was also poor quality and we hoped and prayed for a miracle, but it wasn't to be. We are now back on the long waiting list which at the moment is 14 months plus. We are like many other couples, we long for a family and have so much love to give but age is against us.
This is why we are appealing for someone to help us.
Could you be an egg donor? Are you having IVF yourselves or do you know of anyone who is? Would you consider donating some of your eggs to another couple?
If you are unsure of what's involved or need more information please follow the link below. http://www.carefertilityweb.co.uk/eggdon/eggdonating.shtml As egg donation is anonymous you would donate your eggs to another couple on the waiting list. By choosing to quote our names Lorraine & Brian to the clinic, you would enable us to be fast tracked to the next available eggs in the donor pool.
This way you would be helping more than one person achieve their dream. For some people egg and embryo donation is the only chance they will have at becoming parents, it's the most precious gift anyone can give.
If you would like to know more please follow the above link. If you decide this is something you would like to help us with, please contact my clinic

Hi Everyone
You may be aware Paul and I completed the Great South Run for FF last year and we raised a grand total of £1400 thanks to the generosity of you guys.
Well, as we are gluttons for punishment we have entered the 2008 run which takes place on Sunday 26 October and once again, we want to raise money for FF.
During our time with FF we have attempted 9 IVF’s, 1 FET and a host surrogacy cycle. Along this rollercoaster ride the friends we have made through FF have always been there for us, offering their unfading support and love. We have made so many special friends and this is our way of giving something back and to say a big thank you.
The run is a distance of 10 miles and takes place around the streets of Portsmouth.
Fertility Friends is currently working on several projects and this sponsorship will bring in much needed funding. FF Projects in the immediate future include, Egg/Sperm advertising campaign in the traditional media(magazines etc) and also expanding offline resources.
So, if you would like to help FF by sponsoring us please see the link below.

Every little amount will help no matter how small.
If you would like to remain anonymous please let us know as we intend to list the names of everyone who helps out on Fertilityfriends.
Many Thanks
Loads of Love

Egg/Sperm Donation Advertising Programme |
|
Tuesday, 12 August 2008 |

FertilityFriends.co.uk has a strict no advertising policy.
However, due to the decline in egg and sperm donors - we would like to work with clinics, advertising on behalf of individual recipients. Our online advertising would be free.
Whilst we could deal directly with the patient and advertise for them, we feel that it would be more appropriate for the potential donors to contact the clinics as a first point of call. Rather than dealing through the patient.
An example advertisement, together with the clinics details at the bottom can be seen here :
http://www.fertilityfriends.co.uk/content/view/511/99/
Depending on support for the programme, we may also consider running a joint advertising campaign within the traditional media. This would entail of a full,half or quarter page advertisement which would be a non individualised request for donors and a detailed list of names and contact details for clinics operating on our programme. Whilst this additional option may not be free - we believe that this joint effort will significantly reduce the overheads of donor advertising for clinics.
If your practice would like to be involved in our campaign then please get in touch [click here to enquire]
Regards,
Tony Reid Director
