Hey Sparkler 2020,
Good luck for today 🤞
I always hesitated between going abroad or not. Couldn't imagine how the tests been carried out, all the scans, how long you need to fly over to and how many times? Can you get into some details for me please? Im trying to be positive, but if things doesn't go to plan here in the UK, abroad will be my last chance.
USing donor egg isn't an issue for me. I'm trying to have a child since 2012, when I've got married. I had two rounds of frozen blastocyst transfer with my own eggs in the past. We used all three eggs and failed. Was naturally pregnant in between those treatments twice ,which ended up as a MC at week 6 and 8. Then I've got divorced.
My only way to have a child, being 44 is to use donor egg. I did not wanted to waste money on trying with my own eggs knowing there's a high chance to end up in MC with chromosome issues. I have unexplained infertility but age effect quality off eggs.
My new partner is supportive and as I finance everything of my own savings, he said he'll try, although he didn't want more kids at the beginning of our relationship, as he has a daughter already.
I Know there are more ways to purchase donor eggs, ex. through an egg sharer- when you need to be in synch with their treatment and if they end up with less eggs then thought or not so good quality, they might say and turn around your treatment is cancelled. So I bought eggs from the London Egg bank. You literally need to go to hundreds of ladies profiles and choose one. I tried to pick the closest look what I could ,to be similar like me ( hight, hair colour, eye colour, weight, skin tone , ethnicity, hobbies, profession, family background etc). So I bought a 6 pack, payed, transferred to my clinic in Cardiff and fertilised withy partner's sperm.
Has one fresh transfer already, which ended up BFN. Now doing the second, but frozen transfer hopefully soon.
The suprise was when they said I've got 8 eggs, two for free as they couldn't separate them when I bought it ☺ so ended up 7 fertilised with good quality, all made it to day 5-6 blastocyst stage, and 6 in the freezer now. So 🤞🙏 that I'll get one healthy pregnancy out if it.
