Hi all,
I'm not going to go into the entire 9 year TTC history. In short we have tried the usual, Clomid, various tests, IUI x 3, IVF x 2 (1 egg x 2) all with BFN.
In 2009 we were told my eggs were of a poor quantity and quality. We were devasted. We were told our best chances would be with a donor. I didn't want to believe it and couldn't get my head around it not being "my" baby. 2 years ago, by chance I found out Ninewells in Dundee were running an egg share programme. We enquired and bish bash bosh I was on the dummy run of drugs (late 2011). This was promising, or so we thought. The waiting list grew and grew. I'm CMV neg which was an added problem.
Anyhoo.... back in 2009 a very dear and kind friend
offered to be our donor. Like I said I couldn't get my head around it back then and my DH was very supportive.
Long story short she is now our donor. We have had a problem free cycle of drugs (which is unheard of for me). And she gave us 10 eggs just the other day. We were told to expect 2/3rds to fertilise but we got 9!!!!
I have to go back in in the next few days for a day 5 transfer. They have told us that some are looking fragmented but others are looking good. We are really hopeful that we get a good few so we have an ET and some for freezing. Everything crossed.
At the moment I'm on 8mg of progynova and 2 x pessaries a day (yucky things). I'm bloated to the max but just want it to be testing day.
We are hopeful but realistic. As you all know it's really difficult not to get your hopes up.

Good luck!
we did 3 failed cycles of IVF, Clomid etc and everything failed...low and behold after our last failed attempt at IVF the very next cycle we got pregnant naturally 
I never thought it would be our turn and out of the blue our number came up...stay positive just when you think it is never going to happen a surprise pops up 
we were looking at egg donors but we would have had to go to South Africa to do this. Anyway, best of Luck!!!!!!
