These aren't just any eggs, these are tree range eggs.

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.

It does. I guess I went thought the process and so I can see how we got to this stage. I saw that child before she was even concieved! On a scan picture.

Utterly wonderful, and what a great thing to happen. I am pleased it has worked, I was a small small part of a huge jigsaw so I am mindful of that. It's a massive complicated thing, and the amazing skils of the embryologist and all the rest are just as worthy of praise. In my opinion. All I did was give something away

Hello thisismyname I am plotting what nappies to send her

lol tree - im sure a bitti tutto would be in order

Tree that is wonderful news, well done.

Amazing news Tree. You must be in awe.

Love

BK xx

Tree, Bezzy alerted me to this thread and I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS. I am in awe - it seems to have gone so fast. And you sound so sane about your role in it. It's fantastic.

I don't know if you knew, but Babycant was born in April, so I have my own mini-miracle too.

Ha, though, love how you're sending nappies as a present...

Thank you for the lovely words. You may imagine how much they mean to me. x

Many many congratulations on BabyCant. Really is brilliant news. Much love to you and yours. x

:) this is really briliant,

just read through from the beginning, about all the requirements etc etc and time frame - really interesting.

when i last posted on this thread I'd negged on a test...which turned +ve a week later - and i have just had DD2 - so could be doing egg donation next year. Though, it looks like my sister has ok eggs, but difficulty carrying (factor leiden V, PCOS, now 35 too..). She thinks she has been miscarrying all along through 5 years of TTC :(

So if i would be donating at all, would be as egg-share to cover costs on IVF to make me PG with her baby & donor sperm. Obviously this needs much thought, so we'll be looking at next year...

it's so lovely that this worked out for your friend!

I came to read this thread, to reacquaint myself with Edgar. Lo and behold hers is the last post and I missed it, back in August.

A thread now in honour of her Darling Son, who has had to go.

God bless him, the eggy baby, and all our babies.

Hi, what an amazing thing you are doing! i wish there were more people that were as generous as you. I know egg donation is a big thing but it is also a big thing for women who can not conceive without the help of alturistic people like you! For anyone considering donating there are lots of women in the UK and abroad that need your help. I recently found out about this first hand when my best friend was let down by a donor. I was unable to help her myself and as the waiting list on the NHS was so long I helped her look for a donor. We found an amazing site called Pride Angel that has both egg and sperm donors on and plently advice for those looking to go through it. If anyone wants more information the website link is www.prideangel.com Having experienced this first hand i thank you for bringing to peoples attention. The more people that know how many people need help the more may consider helping! In the meantime I wish you luck and hope that everything works out for all of you involved.

Thanks wrighty2010. Happily we had a very happy outcome

Such is the circle of life, that Edgar has had the unthinkable happen, yet the eggy couple are still walking on clouds. There but for the grace of God/Gods/luck/nature/insert your preference here go all of us. Happiness is fragile.

Hi Tree, Wrighty, Edgar and all. I have posted here before. We are awaiting our egg donor at a Care clinic. We had one go last year that failed. We have a dd and this is our last shot at another baby. It's been a roller coaster but worth it. We were told when DD was less than 2 that another with my eggs would not be possible. We did believe the docs (and I know they sometimes get it wrong) but sadly, this time, so far they are right.

Our treatment cycle will come round again soon and I feel hopeful yet resolved.

I'm a Christian so that does give me a bit of comfort in this whole TTC mess. I send my best wishes to you all and so glad to hear from/read about you again Tree.

Sorry that should be we did not believe the docs, hence lots more treatment with my eggs using IUI (which all failed)!

Gosh hello Italiangreyhound, I often wonder how you have been getting on.

Have everything super-dooper crossed for you, all the best for it. Keep me updated and post here or get a thread going if typing it all out helps

Thanks, I do post on feisty and forty and on assisted conception. I will try and post on her again when things get going!

How old is the little baby donated eggs to give to your friend?

All the best.

on here again not on her!

How old is the little baby made from the donated eggs you gave to your friend?

If you don't mind me asking.

About 6 months . Glad you have a good support network

Thanks, I am very fortunate and I feel very chilled out now. Whether we have another child or not does not seem such a big deal as it did before. I think it had taken time to get to this place and in a way after almost 6 years of trying to give my little one a sib i am almost worn out with it (but not quite!)
