Hi. I am just at the begining of an egg donation cycle. I am donating to friends of very very good friends who have had several cycles and have reached this point.

I started a thread previously, but have started one with donation in the title, I think lots of people think about donating or recieving donor eggs, and so I thought this might be interesting.

This is the 2nd day of treatment.

I have 2 girls, 5yo and nearly 9 months. I have wound up the breastfeeding onver the last few weeks to allow the treatment to commence. It was hard juggling the needs of the baby against the needs of the couple - I think I hit a good half way house. 8 months exclusive bring is nothing to sniff at from bubba pov [though I think she would go and go an go], and 8 months wait was quite enough for this couple. In my opinion, they have been nothing but accomodating and thoughtfull and lovely and would have waited and waited. It must be so hard for them thuugh.

I kind of hope to relactate - that will be another thread!

So here we go, wish us luck. I'm hoping the power of mumsnet will send many positive vibes our way.

Bring on the questions btw - I'm really happy to answer and explain anything.

Oh Tree, I am really excited and overwhelmed. You have done a really special thing. And yes it's all about them now. What a happy Christmas ahead, and how they must feel.

When will we find out if it's one or two babies?

Hoorah! That's just the best news, how amazing! Good work Tree

That's wonderful news, congratulations

How lovely that it's in time for Christmas too!

tackyChristmastreedelivery · 13/12/2009 19:00

Oh my God.

Thank you for these messages, it makes it even more brilliant to be able to scream it into cyber space!

It is truly amazing Northern. Imagine how they are feeling, and their parents, all their friends who have followed it every step of the way. They are pregnant. Anything is possible, with luck and health. This woman, who has waited and waited, is sat about pregnant. At long long last.

Fan-bloody-tastic!!

MsDoctor · 13/12/2009 18:59

Marvelous, truly.

MrsGokWan · 13/12/2009 18:58

What a wonderful thing to give to someone.

This will be a Christmas to remember.

Northernlebkuchen · 13/12/2009 18:56

Oh Treedelivery - that is wonderful, wonderful news! I've been looking out for this update and I'm so pleased you've got this good news. Keeping everything crossed for the parents - isn't it amazing to be able to say that! You did good, you did very good!

PatTheHammer · 13/12/2009 18:53

Woop-woop!!!! Just knew they would be fabulous eggs

tackyChristmastreedelivery · 13/12/2009 18:52

Thanks everyone. It is amazing isn't it?

I feel no sense of personal satisfaction you know, I thought I would but I just feel overwhelming joy for them. They have done it. They are another hurdle closer to getting their baby. This is magic!!

At last they get to see a positive pregnancy test. At long bloody last. Such a simple joy so many take for granted, they have waited so so long and had to call on many people to help them get that second bloody line on a test.

At Last.

Hello tree,
Just logged on to see if you had any news yet. Don't know when is testing day, but can't be much longer.
Hope you're doing okay.
With me and my sis - first round didn't work... and it was awful, I felt utterly crap, and the worst thing was knowing how so so much worse she (they) were feeling. So - just wanted to give you some support either way.
take care,
madcows

I would send her a big bar of chocolate! 2 in and 5 in the freezer is a really great result.

treedelivery · 30/11/2009 14:00

I know!! I need 6 too, which is one less than embryos created!

So, 2 are in, and hopefully looking for a parking space as we speak. 5 in the freezer. WIth defosting risks etc, they should get another 2 embryo transfer out of that. Maybe another go as well - am nothing if not optimistic.

The team at the clinic were very pleased with the embryos, said they looked great. They felt today was the right day to go ahead.

Maybe we will do that this pm swampster - had a crappy mornign with dd1 before school and a full on time with dd2. So maybe it would break the tension a bit. A lot of women in this house could do with a good knead I can tell you!

16 days till pregnancy test. Thats a long bloody time to hold your breath!!

I feel I should be doing some spell making or burning oils or something What can I send mum to be that is associated with conception? Poor woman has 2 weeks off work to sweat it. Was thinking of sending an aid to relaxation. There must be an oil or a something that would be good karma.
