Day one of the blog…

My first attempt at writing a blog on this subject recently crashed and burned. On another blogging site I spent an hour pouring my little heart out about our first visit to the clinic, saved to continue later in the day. Came back to find the site had only saved the title! All my text gone! I won’t name and shame, but that was nearly the end of the road for me and blogging.

Today though, dg made the move from said site to here mainly for more functionality to her page. And, upon finding out we could link up pages, giving people both sides of the story I decided to try again.

My intention really is to document clinic visits, tests, results, etc along the way so I have something to look back on when my seive-like brain is acting up, but also to try and pop on on inbetween days and just put some of the random thoughts that generally come up about the process. Hopefully, if more people are aware of the what is involved in egg donation and the thoughts it can bring up they will be inclined to go ahead and donate themselves giving more couples hope.

Latest news is that we are waiting to hear if the clinic we have set our hearts on will let us have treatment there. Its quite a crucial time really. If we get the thumbs up we can really feel like things are moving and get on with all the planning that will make time move quicker. If not, I think we’ll both have a few worries about whether we like another clinic and consultant as much as this one.
