I can't believe it, but we tested this morning and it was positive! I thought the window showed 2 blue lines pretty much as soon as I’d finishing peeing on the stick but I didn’t dare hope or say anything until the 3 minutes were up. I also can't believe how incredibly lucky we are…
We had the second transfer of two frozen embryos this morning so it’s waiting time again. It was so strange going back to the clinic and seeing our doctor with our daughter this time. To think that he (and our consultant back home, plus the incredible woman who donated her eggs) made that happen totally…
Yesterday our beautiful perfect little girl arrived. I won’t go into the details of the birth as I’m sure no one needs to hear about that! But just to say it took 3.5 days of induction (which didn’t work but gave me all the contractions!), an epidural in the end and forceps as her heart…

We’re here in Spain and it’s done! I can’t believe it!! It’s all gone very smoothly this morning, which is more to be said for my journey to meet Mr M at the train station last night. Stay relaxed they said. So I made sure I left work in plenty of time, and strolled down…
Our doctor in Spain emailed yesterday to confirm the egg collection will take place tomorrow (it’s never certain until the egg donor has had her last check-up). I still find it hard to believe that there is a woman out there willing to go through all this so that she can donate her eggs to…
Now we’ve made the decision to definitely go ahead with our egg donation treatment in a few months time, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted and I can go on our belated honeymoon without all the worry and indecision flying around in my head. But it’s also allowed me to step back a…
