Well thats me stumped.

9 Replies

Got a call from the hospital today. They cant fly out frozen sperm as tandem cycle is illegal here. Also cant fly it out if the donor is annonymous. Hospital are emailing the clinic to tell them i cant have tandem there! I asked how the hell am i supposed to use donor eggs if i cant go abroad! They said i can but only if the donor can be traced by the child when they reach the age of 18. Well i feel like giving up as this whole journey for us has been nothing but a waste of time its a joke. But i dont give up easily! X

What.! This is a joke. It should be up to you and what you do. I know the uk don’t do tandem but come on.

Do you mind me asking.....do you only have one sperm batch available ?? can it not be done in Cyprus ??

I’m so sorry your having this stress xxxx

Yep we have two lots of frozen sperm here but my partner was taking a treatment for 6 months to build it up. If he has another op there they might not find any as he's no longer on that treatment. X

Ok I understand so hard for you. xx

That sounds crazy - can your OH fly and give the sperm sample over there instead?

So frustrating for you guys.

I am sure you will find a solution.
