Hi Jude and thank you so much for your reply.

HUGE Congrats on your pregnancy with twins! That's wonderful news. :D

I agree, I wish it was out there a bit more, the fact that you can go abroad. But, like you said, it's not in the best interest of the UK clinics. I will thank everyday my friend who ...

Hi Di, and thanks for your reply. Sorry mine is late.

That is definitely something that will be on our "to ask" list. What the potential donor's history is like. Has she donated before? If so, was it successful.

We're still in the very beginning of this ride and I'm already quite emotional about ...

Hi Pixiesmom,

Thanks for your reply. Big congrats on your lovely positive! And, good luck tomorrow.

Part of me is positive that it will work, but the more I read online (on forums) the less positive I feel. Not good, but it is still so new to me. I've never been through any IVF as I've known for ...

Questions to ask at consultation

Hello again,

I know DH and I need to start writing down questions for our appointment on the 4th, but, I'm not really sure what to ask. :roll:

Can someone give me some ideas of stuff to ask. The only one I can think of right now is what I do for my period. I don't get it naturally, so am on the ...

Hi Di, and thanks for your response.

It sounds like it hasn't been an easy road for you. But, like you said, at least you had one go that got you pregnant. The next one will come to term, I'm sure. Best of luck to you. :)

Hi everyone!

I just sat here and read all 13 pages, but sadly don't remember who's who/who's pregnant/still trying, etc. - sorry. :oops: I still don't know what all the abbreviations stand for.

Just wanted to say best of luck to you all. You seem like a wonderful group of ladies. :)

I, too, need ...

Hi Kat,

Best of luck to you and DH. I'll be sending lots of positive vibes your way. (Try to) stay positive and relaxed. And, enjoy your trip to Spain. Has to be better weather than England right now! :wink:

Hugs and love,
Michelle

Thank you Pauline and Little P for your positive words and thoughts. :X

Kat, it's so great to hear from you! What a brilliant story you have. I'm so happy to hear that about your good experience (so far) with the Spanish clinic. DH and I feel really positive about this. (But not too much to get our ...

Thank you Smita. It means a lot to know there are people out there that care.... and most importantly, know what I'm going through.

Will definitely keep you all posted.

First Consultation!!!! (Also Good Books to Read??)

Hi all,

Not sure if you remember me, but I posted in the Intro section last week (I believe). DH and I are in the beginning process of finding an egg donor.

Well, we decided to contact a clinic in Spain, which I was referred to by a friend who's going through IVF. They came highly recommended ...

Hi Kim and Sandra - thank you for the warm welcomes.

We were referred to LGI (Leeds General Infirmary). Yep, we're finally on the waiting list. But, DH and I decided to pursue other options also as we don't want to wait that long.

Other options being Spain, South Africa, etc. Basically not England ...

Hi Debra, thank you for your reply.

I glanced briefly at the Egg Donation board, but will read it a bit more. I have heard about people going abroad for donations and having a lot of success with it.

Congrats on your IVF success!
