Hi Richard,
Just to explain a bit more, all my pregnancies have been through natural conception, since we lost our precious little girl, due to my then advancing years (I was 43 when she was born), we went for IVF as I thought it would be automatic, and of course it would work, because after all I'd been pregnant before - it wasn't as if I had never conceived before. It would be a piece of cake. How wrong I was. We had 2 cycles, both unsuccessful, with very poor follicle response on my part. DH's sperm was fine, but the prognosis from the consultant was that because of my age (again) my eggs were obviously poor quality (although we did end up with 2 x grade 2 embies for transfer). The clinic said that they would not consider any more treatment for us (because of my age) and recommended the only way forward for us was with donor eggs. So I'm on the waiting list in the UK, and have been for 15 months, but just recently, thanks to the wonderful girls on this site, have been considering going to either Barcelona or Kiev for egg donor treatment. Haven't quite got there yet, as it's a bit difficult to pin down DH at the mo, due to other family problems (elderly Dad being abused by his elderly wife - my stepmother, not my mum).
We will get there in the end, I am positive! Just need to tackle one thing at a time.
Richard, don't feel too bad about not having to go through all the injections, the painful ovaries, the uncomfortable proceedures and the undignafied positions we find ourselves in, after all, we could NOT do it without our DH's.
Take care ,
LOL Bev xxx
