We went through a few clinicns to beging with paying for consultations here there and bloody every where, we googled and googled to everything to be honest. when we went to darlington it just felt right to be honest so decided to stay with them and come back for some more details.
I think when you first start out you don't know a lot but you pick it up as you go along.
Charlotte donated her eggs both times so we got the procedure cheaper but then obviously had to buy the sperm.
You start out with a consultation and then counselling then they call you back, we had to wait until they had found a match for charlotted eggs before we could start a cycle so they were harvested and could be planted back once inseminated with our donnor sperm and the other ladies sperm, so the timing were right. Out first try did not work and embryos did nto servive the frezzing process the first time so had to go through the whole thing again of donating and harvesting, fertilising and insemination and frezzing embryos that were left.
1st Try 2 Embryo Transfers No
2nd Try 1 Enbryo Transfered Success
3rd Try 1 Embryo from frozen No
1 Enbryo, we are looking at all options now as dont want LO to be an only child. We have contacted adoption agencies and looking at doing home Insemination for a few months before we use or last embryo as you can only donnate your eggs 3 times and already done it twice. I have a little thread going if you want to read it as i wil be putting up all information about what is going on and there are some links that other people have put on the bottom which may help!!!!
