Hi ladies! So I have broken down and started a September/October 2016 DE cycle thread for those of us that are cycling in those months. Please join me and let's support each other through this journey!
A little about me: My DH and I have been TTC #1 since we got married in 2013. That same year we had our first of 3 own egg IVFs. We had no success and after our last OE IVF in November 2014, we all but gave up on trying to have children when I began to see a therapist to deal with the depression. I was encouraged that maybe hope wasn't all lost and then began doing research about donor egg. We decided to go with Barbados Fertility Center's donor egg programme mostly because I wanted an egg donor with a West Indian background like myself and also because the price was a fraction of what it is locally and their success rates are exceptional. The staff there has been phenomenal, organized and attentive.
I was/am a member of the March/April/May 2016 DE cycle thread when I was originally scheduled to have my transfer in May. Unfortunately, it was postponed because I had to have fibroid removal (myomectomy) surgery in May instead. That surgery was successful and 9 fibroids were removed from the outer wall of my uterus and I am now fibroid free. We still decided to go to Barbados in May to go ahead and have DH fertlitize the donor eggs we had and make some embryos to freeze. We have 3 blasts on ice ready for transfer. I will transfer 2 blasts. I am scheduled for my first donor transfer on September 19th. I'm currently on birth control pills. I will be doing all of my lining checks locally at my former fertility clinic. Let the baby games begin!
