Hi there, I just wanted to share my story with you and to also see if anybody else is also doing the same. I would be very interested to know if there are any ladies and if so we could be here for each other and share stories.
I am 41, .....42 in June. I have decided to go down the donor egg road. So we will be having the treatment in St Petersburg in Russia. I am having 2 eggs transfered at blasocyst stage. My first consultation is 18th Feb and then we go back in March for the transfer. I am really excited but a little nervous.
It took a long time to get to this decision but now I know in my heart it is the right decision. My OH is 33 so he will be using his sperm. Our Little Russian Doll will be half him and very much loved!!! The donors there are young, healthy and attractive and have to have proven fertility, where they have 1 or more children, with the average age being 26 so you know they are fertile. They also have to go through medical assessments etc etc. There is anonymousity there still and they do get rewarded, so therefore there is no massive waiting list there and the success rates are 69%!!!! 72% if using donor embryo!!!
We are both really excited about it and can't wait to go.
I just wondered if I could share my journey with any other ladies that may be doing the same thing. Would be lovely to hear from you.
