Sorry I was mia once again. I was lurking in the boards but have been feeling too depressed about things. I really didn't know how I would be able to provide support in the state I was in and couldn't bear to dampen your moods. But here's the story. We were seen as private patients. The embryologist had a word with us after the profiling and talked to us about the difficulties in obtaining donors for any groups apart from white caucasian, to which group we don't belong. DH even suggested a broad range to ignore race or ethnic origin but to simply find a close match. However, they said they were bound by law. So there is a long waiting list for sperm and not a single donor on the register at the moment. Assuming a few turn up in the next few months, we still don't stand a chance as apparently some couples in our group have been waiting for 1 year now (since the law changed). So I have completely given up hope at the moment. Its such a terrible feeling that its come to an end before even beginning. I haven't even tried IVF once and looks like I may never be able to even reach that stage.
We can't think much at the moment, but have been thinking about Spain. Laws there are still relaxed which makes it easier for donors to come forward. Any info on the best clinic in Spain would be much appreciated.
Sorry no personals today. I feel really selfish for coming on only to talk about my problems when I know you are all trying to deal with your own issues. Promise to catch up with you all soon.
guys i know...every othe day i shock u with something new.....but i dont know where to go ...whom to talk to right now....i feel so bad...i found out today at my first app with perinatalogist...one baby has died....at 7 weeks..this sucks....i had imagined everything...from matching clothes to triplet stroller......i just feel like shit right now.....i just think i m gonna lose all of them...
Hi ....
Angel i'm not surprised your down that really does suck if you dont mind me asking what demographic are you looking for, could you find your own donor?...i could ask hubby for you he's not caucasian? i really do hope you find a solution hugs...please dont feel you cant come here that's what we are here for not just the good times but all the crap we go through too
JS oh my gosh im so sorry for your loss it must be such a devestating blow, i have not been in your position but i know it must be hard, you have to give yourself time to morn your loss. what did the Dr say about the other babies?...im sure he would have told you if they where in any danger...i truly am very sorry try to stay strong im sure you will have all of us praying hard for you all.....

shantala....its great enws dear...i m very happy for u....19 is great with 10 mature eggs even better...r they doing icsi and did u discuss assisted hatching with them.....i just think getting all those things done helped me in getting this bfp ...i bet u must hv already discussed it with ur doc....by the way we only got 9 mature eggs..so u did even better...hurray...i hope God is on a blessing spree this month and everyone ends up getting a bfp
nimble...sometimes it feels too bad to wait....lol...most difficult in this infertility stuff...but still...oct isnt tht far...2 more months to go
carolyn...i don't get it ...what is this BIG B thing u guys r always talkin abt...
jen babes...dear i havent had any morning sickness...now that they r reduced to twins....i think i wont have any...
welsch...thank you dear.. i loved it when there were three...but now uve got to make some changes in the list....love u
aunty....the doc said...3 and a half more weeks of scare...and once i cross first trimester the chances of anythign bad happening r less than 5 %...can u beleive it....almost 4 weeks...here i m counting every single day...but the babies look good...they did found a small clot which they think might hv contributed to the spotting the other day....
well...i m being v talkative today....its just that i didnt share my triplet news with anyone but u guys...and now tht i lost one...i cant share it anyone either...the price u pay for being secretive....even if i did share it with my friends...i doubt if anyone wud have understood.....well anyway....cried a lot.....and now feel exhausted ....i 'll leave now
thanx for reading
wow i did not even see this thread i wish i did i love this infertility site.
i am currently been waiting 2 months to start a cycle again because the last 3 cycles first was cancelled and 2bfn so i will be starting my 4th cycle and i needed a break from all the needles going back and forth every other day and the disappiontment of not getting pregant i needed a rest and the last bfn i took it real hard i cried and dont even talk about dh he cried also he even had a lost for words. so i am going to start back in september. but i am greatful to be able to start i exhausted my insurance but i am in new york and they have a new york state program that funds ivf but you have to be approved for it wich i did they give you 2 tries and you only pay 10 of your income for both cycle so they do them one at a time and i only have to pay a thousand thousand they give the meds and everything so i only have 2 more times to make my dh a daddy.
Angel...what a truly difficult time you are going through. It's bad enough going through ivf without the wait and tension yu have had pre tmt. I do hope you get something sorted out soon hun. Much love and big hugs to ya.
JS- Ah sweetie...I am so sorry of the loss of one of your beanies. 4wks seems ages to wait when you are so worried. Nothing anyone could say or do will take that away. but wee are here to share that burden hun. That's what we are here for...much love and great big hugs to ya . Major sticky dust to the 2 strong beanies on board.
Cheeks Sorry hun to hear about your BFN. Take time to recoverr and i am siure yu will be in a stronger place to start again in Sept. Well done you on sourcing out NY financing. great you can get some of your next ivf paid. Good luck for a BFP this time. x x

well, fantastic news!!! ALL 10 FERTILISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, so pleased! so ET is on friday at 12. thank you all so much for your support. will now be praying that as many out of the 10 as possible make it to friday!
the beckster - your list made me laugh out loud "10 Perfect eggies getting it on with DH's taddies". they certainly did get it on by the sounds of it!! lol. and thanks for getting everybody on here to clap for me! how's you anyway? hope work isnt too bad. you seem to be really up just lately!
JB - glad the sun is out where you are. shame you cant get a free flight to norway though! sorry to hear about AF mucking you around. tell her to sort herself out or else!!!
cheeks - welcome!!!!!!!!!! and so sorry to hear about your BFNs. we're all here and understand. good luck for september. you're definitely in the right place!
js - oh honey, i'm so so sorry. i dont know what to say. i'm sure it must have hit you really hard. hugs!! (yes, we're using ICSI but have not considered assisted hatching yet. if it doesnt work again though and we get no frosties then i've definitely got blast transfers and assisted hatching on my list!) xxx
angel - that absolutely sucks!!! stuff like that makes me so cross!!! i do understand that spain has more relaxed laws so you may well find a good match over there. "Big B" is exactly that. maybe one of the other ladies on here can help a bit more.
aunty - my dear aunty. you always brighten up this place. thank you so much for your go spermie go pics. they definitely did the trick!!!! thanks hun!! hows you??
lara - thanks so much honey. really appreciate you popping in for me. how you feeling??
carolyn - hope you're ok hun!! xx

i had this feeling you'd be the first to respond! you're so sweet. it would be great to freeze this time and as you said, we can have a whole football team then!!! lol
have the rest of this week off but told my boss i may potentially have to have next week off too depending on how i feel after my "minor gynae procedure". so would have to get a sick note if i do have any time off next week. hhmmm...think i'll see how i feel on friday.
you at work?? whats the weather like at yours?? its lovely here.
