Hi all,
I am looking to share experience here with someone that may be in the same situation as me that may offer advice, support etc.
I am Female 26 from the UK. I have been with my partner Mark (35) for just over 3 years now and we are set to get married in 2009.
We very much want a child of our one but have a slight problem that Mark has a vasectomy 9-10 years ago after having his 2nd child with his ex wife.
The most obvious of things to do is have a vasectomy reversal and have all the joys of trying on our own (which we know the chances are now slimmer then if he'd had it 5 Years ago).
Mark suggested the other day about egg donation/sharing & using his sperm and having it transfered, Which i must admit i had a number of years ago thought about doing as my mum had a friend that was trying to go through IVF but was telling me about the shortage of egg donor's so it is not like it is somthing that has ever crossed my mind. But i soon forgot about is as i was only about 20 and because i had not really understood what wanting a child really was all about, I have always been career driven & have up untill meeting Mark had not really seriously thought about having any children of my own.
Myself & Mark would only like 1 child & if there was a possibilty of helping someone's else dream come true in the process then i would be very much willing.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Anyone else actually gone through the egg shring process? What costs did you occur?
I have obviously tried calling a few clinics in the UK but to be honest they are not very helpful they are only interested in talking about the £££'s!
Hope to hear from someone soon
xx
