Second Donor Match 👍🏻❤️

[baby2016]

So this week we’ve agreed our second donor for getting ready for round 2 😁 and I really couldn’t be happier, after my last donor match I didn’t think we would find one as good as that match again, but I was wrong! This donor sounds amazing and although some of our visual features are different, our interests, outlooks, careers, family lives etc are very similar and I have a really good and calm feeling about this round. This amazing donor is donating for no other reason than to help women like me achieve their longed for baby, and I feel so much compassion for this amazing women.

And to top off the week my hubbys transplant specialist has agreed he can take the hidden c tablets with me, so hopefully we can get the course completed before he gets the call 👍🏻😊

[Hidden]

That's such good news. So happy to hear this. Everything coming together. This is your time xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Aw thanks Camillage! I see it’s not to far away for your transfer! Fingers crossed it all runs smoothly and you get your bfp! Xx

[Hidden in reply to baby2016]

Thank you. Yes, we will all be having a lovely Christmas present this year let's hope xx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

That would be the best Xmas ever for you! I’m prob going to fly out to Athens to have a hysto and implantation cuts but will then mean a transfer maybe nov/Dec time and can’t decide what to do or to leave it till the new year. My bdays Nov then obviously Xmas but will see nearer the time how I feel as having a freeze all anyway xx

[Hidden in reply to baby2016]

My birthday is November too. Great timing. 😁

I don't know what to suggest about timing but of course with the procedure for cuts etc you will want to have the transfer done as close as possible to that? It only lasts for a certain amount of time does it not? Xx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah 2 months is the best time to do it in. So going to see how things go on collection day, well 5 days later and go from there, as it may be nov time before that happens, so may just delay till the new year. November buddies! Haha! xx

[Kyell2]

Brilliant news. So pleased you have found another great donor.

People who donate eggs and sperm are just amazing individuals, especially those who do it just to help others 😊 x

[baby2016 in reply to Kyell2]

Thank you Kyell2! Is a transfer up and coming for you too? Xx

[7AVA]

This is wonderful news for you! So much luck to you for this round. Hopefully we won’t be too far behind you on the donor route xxx

[baby2016 in reply to 7AVA]

Aw thank you ava. And so sorry just to see your recent result 😢 I hope your coping ok xxx

[7AVA in reply to baby2016]

Thank you, as well as I can xxx

[baby2016 in reply to 7AVA]

It never gets any easier, no matter how many times sadness happens. I hope you have time to just get back to you and maybe think of a plan b xx

[7AVA in reply to baby2016]

Thank you. It really helps having people on here who understand xxx

[baby2016 in reply to 7AVA]

Lots of us on here who understand 😊 I just we could all arrange a huge weekend meet up! Think we’d all def put the world to rights! Xx

[7AVA in reply to baby2016]

That would be a great meet up! Xx

[baby2016 in reply to 7AVA]

Whereabouts are you based? xx

[7AVA in reply to baby2016]

I’ll pm you xx

[KittyK]

Good that you have a good calm feeling. Hopefully this is it. Everything crossed for you my dear xx

[baby2016 in reply to KittyK]

Aww KittyK 😊 nice to hear from you! Hope all is going well with you little one! And have you decided on when to try again with your remaining Frosties? Xxx

[Tugsgirl]

Great news. Really pleased for you both xx

[baby2016 in reply to Tugsgirl]

I was literally just thinking about you!! Hope it’s all going ok in your 2ww xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to baby2016]

I have no idea what’s happening but I’m not feeling very positive xx

[baby2016 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Don’t be letting those negative thoughts creep in. Your always so positive. The 2ww never seems to get any easier how ever many times we do it. If it helps my last one that I got a bfp with I had literally zero symptoms from transfer to test date, all the others I had but that one non at all. My fingers are crossed very tightly for you xxx

[Tugsgirl in reply to baby2016]

I’ve had af cramping on my bfps but although I’ve had sporadic cramping this time it doesn’t feel like af. Guess I was looking for the same symptoms I got on my bfp.. Sorry to say I’ve been feeling negative for days 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

[baby2016 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Aww bless you! It is so hard to remain positive as I find I change hourly as to how positive I feel in the 2ww. When’s test day? You always do so well hanging on till then to test. I’m rooting for you big time! Xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to baby2016]

Wednesday. But let’s just say that this time it was a good thing we didn’t have any spare tests in as we’ve both been tempted to end our misery xx

[baby2016 in reply to Tugsgirl]

It truly is torture waiting till it’s official test day, even if you get s positive much earlier, you know it’s still hot to be there and darker by test day, so either ways a nightmare! Wishing you all the luck for wed xxx

[Hidden]

Great news, everything crossed for you xx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Cocker! How’s are things with you? Hope your ok xx

[Hidden in reply to baby2016]

Honestly pretty rubbish at the moment, but going to Dr's on Monday for some support, so will get there.

Glad your feeling positive about this round xx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Aw Cocker 😢 this journey is so so hard. Hopefully your doc can give you some support. But if you can keep going, you just never know what the outcome would have been if you stop now. Easier said than done, but that’s what keeps me going xx

[Hidden in reply to baby2016]

It certainly is tough, my gp is lovely and just gets if you know what I mean so hopefully she will have me back on track. Xx

[Caroliono4]

Ah that's great news. Our first round failed with a donor that sounded so lovely. I hope we are as lucky second time around. I hope you have success this time around x x

[baby2016 in reply to Caroliono4]

Thanks Caroliono! Just read your intro, and sounds like we have similar pasts with recurrent miscarriage 😢 hope your ok. What are your next plans? Xx

[LegoBatgirl]

Really glad you found a donor, best of luck x

[baby2016 in reply to LegoBatgirl]

Thanks Legobatgirl 😊 how are things going with you? Xx

[LegoBatgirl in reply to baby2016]

I'm ok thanks, just trying to make sure that I'm in fighting shape for my first round, trying to focus on good mental and physical health x

[baby2016 in reply to LegoBatgirl]

That’s definitely the best way! I joined weight watchers in January and have now lost 2stone and feel so much better for it. I walk loads now and I really feel the combination of good eating (with a few naughty treats) and exercise has definitely helped my mental and emotional health xx

[LegoBatgirl in reply to baby2016]

Congratulations on the weight loss, 2 stone is amazing x

[baby2016 in reply to LegoBatgirl]

Aw thank you! Feel and look so much better for it! Xx

[Ana405]

Hello baby2016,

I am trying also with donor eggs in Athens Genesys

Did you had already one round with egg donation. How everything went?

Thank you

Ana

[baby2016 in reply to Ana405]

Thanks Ana! I’m not actually having my treatment in Athens. Having it all in the U.K. on the access refund package, but have had the Hidden c test and probably the hystocopy in Athens. Sending you lots of luck for your cycle xx

[Ana405 in reply to baby2016]

Thank you and hugs😘🤗

[Cinderella5]

Ahhh great news baby! All sounding really positive and also fabby that your hubby can take the tablets!xx

[baby2016 in reply to Cinderella5]

Aw thanks Cinders. How are things with you? Hope your ok xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to baby2016]

Im ok ta! I plan to do a mock transfer this cycle....waiting on day 1 of period and then we will make a plan from there whether to do a dilatation before next embryo transfer. Bit of a pain, however I want to try to make sure my next transfer goes without a hitch to hopefully give us a better chance of success. There just always seems to be something standing in my way and its so frustrating!!xx

[baby2016 in reply to Cinderella5]

I completely understand why your so frustrated, there always seems to be blockers doesn’t there when your gearing up for everything. I really hope the mock cycle works for you. You so deserve this! Xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to baby2016]

Thank you! Will see what happens after this next step anyway. We all deserve this!!xx

[WaywardGirl]

Great news - how lovely that it all feels so right. Good luck for the rest of the process x

[baby2016 in reply to WaywardGirl]

Thanks WaywardGirl. Just seen your recent post! Huge congrats and hope you have a healthy and easy pregnancy xx

[Hidden]

Hi baby2016

So happy for you! I hope you don’t mind me asking (or whether it’s allowed on this site) but how did you find this donor? You mentioned Athens in your post? Donor eggs is something I’m considering and have in the back of my mind as a last resort. My partner is not so keen so trying to arm myself with as much information as possible.

Wishing you all the very bes xx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Aw thank you MsZen. It was a hard decision for me at first as kept thinking I’ll give my eggs one last go. But went with the facts instead as it was either the money to try with my own again or move to DE but not enough money to do both. 1st DE proved it was prob my eggs as managed to get 4 blasts which I’d never had!

I have used a clinic in the U.K. through the access fertility refund package. £16k for 3 rounds and if no baby at the end of 3 rounds you get £11k back.

I have had the hidden c test done through a clinic in Athens but that was literally sending off a blood sample, and will probably be visiting them for a hystocopy and implantation cuts before my next transfer to maximise chances as much cheaper there than here for the procedure and not a lot of clinic do the implantation cuts here. Hope all that helps xx

[Macca13]

Brilliant news, donors are amazing ppl. Hope all goes well xx

[baby2016 in reply to Macca13]

Thanks Macca, totally agree! I do wish I could have done the same for someone. How are things with you? Xx

[Macca13 in reply to baby2016]

Things with me are ok at mo. Mummy sadly passed away start of August with a brain tumour, only diagnosed 3.5 weeks before she died. We had hols booked wasn’t sure if I wanted to go but we did, landed in Tenerife on Sunday evening. Lovely to chill xx

[baby2016 in reply to Macca13]

Oh Macca 😭 how tragic and upsetting for you. I lost my dad suddenly a few years ago, it took a good while for it all to sink in, and as much as expected it all I miss him so much, especially with all the bad luck we’ve had since he passed. So I completely understand the grief and shock you’ll be going through right now. Lovely that your away at the min. Exactly what is needed for you, sending you a huge hug xxx

[Macca13 in reply to baby2016]

AW unfortunately I’m

Same as you too, daddy died October 2016 was expected but doesn’t make it easier and takes a while to sink in asyougabe said now mummy within 1yr and 10 months life is so unfair at times but comfort to know once again they happy together again. Hopefully this time is your time and it works out too. Thank you for your huge hug. Right back at you and keep us posted about donor xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Macca13]

Oh Macca, this is so sad. Such a lot for you to go through in such a short space of time, and probably lots for you to sort out too. As you say, least they are both together now, even though I know that won’t ease the pain. Make sure you have that rest time and you enjoy the sun while you can! Xx

[Hidden]

Fantastic news! Totally agree donor ladies are truly angels. Best of look and hoping those good vibes bring you luck xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Awww thanks Button 😘 more importantly how are things going with you and your gorgeous little girl? Lovely to see you still come on here xxx

[Hidden in reply to baby2016]

I do still pop on hoping to see success stories for all you wonderful ladies & gents. All good, she is 7 months old now and growing fast.

I will look out for yr updates, best of luck to you xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Hidden]

Aw what a lovely update. Hope your loving every minute of your maternity and thank you so much for your good luck wishes xxx

[Abaco]

So pleased for you, this is fab news! donors truly are amazing people, great news about hubby too! All the very best to you xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Abaco]

Thank you abaco 😊 just seen you’ve had some tests done recently. They sound interesting and I hope they give you some answers as to why you’ve suffered losses. Keep us updated xx

[Dunla]

Fantastic news. Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming treatment xx

[baby2016 in reply to Dunla]

Aww thank you Dunla. I hope you’ve had some responses back from your clinic now. Keep going if you can and sending you lots of luck for the future xx

[jengi]

Fantastic news! Donor will be my next step if my 2nd attempt with my own eggs fail. Wishing you lots of luck. Xx

[baby2016 in reply to jengi]

Aw thanks jengi, once I expected I couldn’t use my own eggs it actually had excitement similar to my first round with my own eggs, which was a refreshing change! Good luck with your next cycle. I’ve just seen you’ve had cyst issues, don’t worry, I had this on one of my cycles and they had gone by the following cycle xx
