So, since I last wrote, we’ve had an epic honeymoon trip driving up the coast of California. We really wanted to do something big to celebrate getting married but also do something together before we embark on the egg donation treatment, and hopefully two becomes three. And I’m so glad we did. It feels like another step closer now we have had our trip. We’ve sent off the characteristics forms that you need to fill out for the clinic in Spain to be able to find a donor. It’s just basic information about us both (although I’m not sure why they need Mr M’s details given it will be his sperm) like eye, hair, skin colour, height and weight and a couple of pictures, but it means they can match the donor to these basic characteristics. We also went up to my mums this weekend, and although I’ve talked a lot to her about the whole journey along the way, it felt so good to be able to tell her that we are definitely going ahead and the ball is rolling. I know she’s been worried about me, but she has been so supportive and given great advice when I’ve asked. Or just listened. And I know that she is really excited about this next step for us.
