Hi my name is Dana I'm 36 and from Perth W.A. My husband and I have been on the infertility journey for about 4 years now. I had another posting on here but a smart lady on here suggested that I post another and update on whats been going on with our journey, so here I am to relate our story & latest news.I've had 1 miscarriage and suffer from Diminished ovarian reserve, have had ops for removal of endo and cysts on my ovaries. Just last year we got the blood results back to say that I have little to no eggs left and any I have left would be poor quality which is why our IVF attempts the few eggs we were able to retrieve (2) died when transferred and my last cycle I got 0 eggs. The Dr said that our only hope would be to find a special person who would donate their eggs so we could conceive a very much loved baby.
My husband and I never dreamed that we would be faced with such difficulties in our journey to have a much wanted family together. My hubby is from the USA and we've been happily married for 5 years now. We love children and are god parents to 3 beautiful children one here in Perth and 2 in the USA whom we love to bits and are all to friends who recognise how much love we have to give. I am an only child so have no sisters to ask and alot of my friends are still completing their families. I have wonderful supportive parents and being an only child so much want to also give them the chance to be grandparents (only I can). I know that they would spoil their grand babies to no end.
We both are hard working, I've been in my job now which is very rewarding for 13 years, as a Social trainer for disabled people. My hubby has just earnt his degree with honours and is currently training to be a Prison Officer. He just became a permanent resident of Australia so now he can pursue his dream of being in the police force once he has stabilised himself in his current position, he couldnt apply as a temp resident. We have a 3 bedroom stable household which consists of hubby and me and our dog who is spoilt also. We are fun loving people, responsible and have so much to offer a child, you could rest assured that they would have the best life possible.
So of at the end of last year we were meant to go through a donor cycle (anonymous) but it was cancelled by the donors so did not go ahead. I was devasted as its so hard to come across a special donor here in oz. We had to pick ourselves up and decide where would we go next in our journey. We decided to go through an overseas clinic as they have so many donors to choose from and we were eager to try again. We just had our experience with the overseas clinic and we had a wonderful holiday and our experience with the clinic was great, sadly though it didnt result in a pregnancy and we are back to our search for a donor angel once again. Feeling confused, sad, and lost but if we can we still want to keep on trying to reach our dream, we just need the help & kind heart of a donor angel to assist us to achieve our dream.
If you are out there please dont hesitate to PM us, you wont regret it and we would be forever thankful to you for your blessing to us....
Thanks for your time and support everyone and many blessings
