Not being sure where the beginning is Ill start at the most recent activity. Infertility is not something that people think about when you already have children. But to want more makes you seem selfish (or that's what everyone around you makes you feel). So yesterday my other half and I were told that yes indeed the only option for us to have any more babies will be ICSI (ivf where the sperm is injected direct in to the egg). Due to his decreasing sperm (or wandering soldiers!) and my eggs trapped in their own little bubbles (or PCOS) we knew it was coming to that conclusion. I suppose if we are honest we knew that this would be the result months ago. Now all that is left is coming to terms with it, even though we already have two beautiful and naturally conceived boys. Because of increasing fertility bills and the treatment being £5000 alone we have opted for egg share. Where we have the ICSI treatment and half of the eggs that i make with all the boosting drugs will go to another woman who can not make her own. She in return pays for half our treatment.
So this is where the story starts, from being mum already, the emotion of treatment and the trial of giving away DNA.
From all the long nights researching egg donation from a donor point of veiw (and frankly finding nothing informative)I decided that I should start my own diary. Stay tuned and Ill try to keep you all informed of how its going aswell as backfill any hstory of how we got here.
