Embryo adoption pregnancy anyone else doing it?

[broodybantam]

Hello I'm 45 bit of a MC history just found out am pregnant almost two weeks after transfer (iM Spain) of two 'adopted' embryo's which were surplus A grade from someone else's IVF using donor egg and sperm. If I get all the way I will be 46 giving birth first time. Crucially this time I have good multiple medical support, drug support and I retired from my job! Mad but after holding dead son who only made 4 months gestation I had to keep going there was just such a bond!  So here I am scared and hormonal but excited and hopeful :)

Hello they gave me three days notice, bit of nightmare for you but maybe try looking at connections for Bristol or Birmingham airport?

Bad news for me had good beta but progesterone dropping, Consultant told me to up progesterone, Spain said not to, I had a huge bleed clots everything two days ago, felt wretched, beta still reasonable Wed so waiting for private scan. I can't bear to go to open early MC clinic for free scan as have to wait hours and all staff know me well it's beyond me! i was last there three years ago with bleed at 10 weeks and there was a crowd of younger ladies waiting all miserable too, one bloke got so wound up security had to remove him! its next week keeping going with meds just I case. But I'm pessimistic ! I don't care about the money anymore just had enough of it all, I've got a friend on Facebook who keeps posting her new scan pictures, I am nice to her, but want to scream :( nevermind !

Anyway if it is bad news gonna pressurise private consultant for ideas and get ready for next round as we paid for 3 goes so may be getting monnies worth. If I've lost again that's 7 MC but at least it was an early one, what gets me angry is that everything was perfect and prepared and tested, but I'm getting used to disappointment ! Does really help to post this I'd never dare on Facebook so big smile to you x

Hi there how are you feeling. I think spotting not neccesarily bad. I am thinking of you and hoping all is well. I bet you cant wait till your scan. I am starting burselin(suprecur) injections tomorrow. Am a bit worried in case of allergic reaction, but sure it will be fine. I have to get a scan and E2 test on day 3/4 of period. Was reading your post wher you said your uterous lining was ready and you had to get to Spain right away. This is worrying me as I can only get flight from London and only limited flights to Athens. When you had the scan how long did they give you to get to the hospital? Also have you had a look in the Pregnancy over 45 forum on medhelp? Lots of lovely ladies with beautiful babies , a lot of them DE . Take care . Manda x

Wow that's fantastic my sisters teacher got pregnant mid fifties by accident and had twins its fine when your healthy so hope it goes well I'm not really to healthy but lost weight to do it and retired to potter around farm helping a little bit and do strategy stuff for business as stress is my problem and hope will keep this pregnancy all way! Still little spotting but trying to not fall apart! good luck to everyone xxx

Good luck to all of you doing this! One of my dearest friends received donor eggs after many miscarriages. She had twin boys! They are amazing and she is so happy. I think she really appreciates those boys more than most Moms would. I know that sounds strange but she went through so much to have them and it just makes my heart soar to see them thrive. Again...I wish you the same happiness.

That is amazing about the refund...that was not an option for us here in Canada.  I am kind of scared to say my age but I will begin by saying we started when I was 48 and I am now 51 my DH is 46.  I am super healthy and no medical problems at all.  I was told I have a very nice uterus to conceive. No problems other than one tubal pregnancy years ago.  I never had any problems other than that and my husbands sperm is excellent.  This was our first DE/ICSI/IVF transfer and I got a BFP!!! I am 10dp3dt We have not told our children but my sister knows and so does my niece who I am very close to.  Apparently the word is getting around the family.  I don't think my family will have any issue as they are all grown up the older ones and living all over Canada.  One in Edmonton with his own family and baby girl and one in Vancouver.  I think sons take things easier than girls.  They will be a little worried of course but they will be happy I think. We kind of hinted at our plan sort of and my daughter-in-laws will be happy I am sure.  Sons are different than daughters.  They are not so judgemental is my experience.  My little 9 year old daughter will be thrilled and my step sons will be just fine too. All in all I think it will be ok. Just counting down the weeks now 37 to go as I am 3 weeks and 4 days lol.  It's kind of cute actually so early.  Such a long way to go and so much can happen xo
