Hi, Lucky41, I'm sorry to hear this. Thus it's high time to investigate why it's not happening to you. The point is you've got the stone rolling. Now your dr should want you through all needed testings to get the problem nailed. There are lots of options nowadays to count on. Thus it might be frustrating at times, the thought ''Why it's happening to me'' Why others just have their kids with a cough, and others don't..I used to think it over and over when we were struggling. I remember when we told the family we were going to Kyiv for treatments, they were all pessimistic, my sis said: Couldn't you choose another destination? Hardly could they know then we'd come back with a DS..I know the path is tough.

You have to be strong. Ask your dr for the further steps. If you feel like you aren't satisfied with his plan, ask for the second opinion. Also do things which make you feel better. Keeping you in my thoughts, hugs x

Hi, I'm so sorry you're facing this. Just wanted to share. Me - 40 yo, dh - 41. TTC from 10/2014. DX: scarred ovaries, poor AMH levels. MF - low, super poor morphology. 2 failed IVF shots still with own eggs, both in 2016. March the following year - 1st app. in Ukrainian BTC clinic as for IVF using DONOR EGGS. A day before official testing I woke up at 3 am, took 3 tests and got my BFP!!! I was 13dp ivf. I was beyond thankful, grateful, excited...I can't even describe how I felt! The following day we got our official BFP which was almost unbelievable after years of trying and numerous shots. God blessed us finally! (Shot#1). I have had NO cramps. No implantation bleeding either. I don't know why I was so convinced that I would have cramps before my BFP but I was wrong. It just seemed like everyone's symptoms included AF like cramps. I have been having a few other symptoms (sore boobs, tired mostly) but I assumed it was the progesterone suppositories. (It still could be, who knows!)Wish you lots of baby dust x

That is lovely to hear. You must have had some positive experience with them..A friend of mine also had an experience with Biotexcom. I just want to say that program coordinator helped them with all documents. So there was nothing to worry about. Everything went pretty fast. As soon as they contacted their manager, they responded immediately and provided them with all information. Yet in a couple of days they received a letter from the clinic with the questions to clarify the required info about their medical history. Also they needed marriage certificate. After they got all required info they appointed date of their meeting with the doc. They found surrogate mother for them in 2 months if I’d got it right. I think it is really short period of time, especially if to compare with Great Britain, where searching could take a year or even more. Besides there are so many legal aspects of it. I guess Ukraine is more surrogacy friendly than Russia for ex. So congrats on your choice, and which is the most important, on your success. (Cannot imagine it vice versa) All the very best.
