Hey Jen - Let's wish for a miracle today, good luck for your beta. And it's the hardest to see our men melt down over the infertility, however, it's nothing intentional either from our end, it was awesome that your sister and s-i-l came forward for donation, it saves 7k on donor, also, its the DNA from the same home. Good luck ahead in any case. You try to stay positive and cheer up yourself and your husband.
Congratulations on your BFP :) It's inspiring and wish you a happy pregnancy ahead :)
Family and fried support is so critical for this, so I am glad you have that Jennydots. Using a donor was not a hard process for me, and my husband has been so supportive of any and all choices. The RE I see (this is the 2nd- first was awful..) has a great record and has been amazing. They have donors in house that are prescreened and ran through all psychological and medical diagnostics ahead of time so the choosing is easier.
It was originally going to be my sister, and they would have screened her, but the costs would have been ours to pay.. Although she was going to give hubby and I any money from the actual donation so it would have evened out.
Jennydots if you need any help or support with that choice I would be happy to listen and help!
I still have my fingers crosses for you tomorrow...
Well I had cramps last night and I am starting to spot- so I am pretty sure my period is here despite the meds. My lab test is tomorrow but I think I am prepared for the results at this time.
Last night was hard. My husband cried ( first time I have seen him cry since his grandpa passed away 2 yrs ago). It broke my heart. I want to give him a child so bad and it is so sad. I may not be able to have one of my own but he still can. I think at this point my RE would suggest maybe a donor egg or/and surrogate. I am not sure at this point. I am lucky to have an amazing family though. I told my sister and sister-in-law today about this round of IVF and they both volunteered eggs and to carry a child for us. That really touched my heart.
please don't feel bad! Your deserve a BFP! it is your turn! I am so happy your Donor egg worked out! Did you go through a service or know them personally? Congrats again!
Got my beta results back... BFP! I don't think it has sunk in yet, but I am thankful it worked. Hopefully, it sticks! I was sad previously (years ago) because I didn't have any of my own eggs, and will never have a biological child of my own, but I am thankful for Donors out there that can give people like me a chance.
Thanks for your support through this awful time. I know it will happen for everyone who is trying so hard to have a baby. I felt bad coming on here to say that it was positive, because I know the pain of not being pregnant when others are....but I also know the struggles everyone has gone through.
This journey will be difficult, but WELL LOVED!!
