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 :)

Spain treatment is £3,800 for two embryos at Institute Marques, we paid £11,000 for 3 goes in a refunding program ; if none of the pregnancies get past 3 months, I think we get 70% back.

I choose Spain as cant do in UK and our local airport has frequent cheap flights, I was already being treated in Spain for IVF when we decided to go for cheaper option of embryo adoption, hubby's sperm not so good and he had moved on from feeling a need to be biological father so it seemed natural to go back to them. I really took to the Catalonian area and the friendly Catalonians and went out alone for a polyp removal in 2010. I love their website on embryo adoption and that was it. :))

Hi yes i live in uk. not started meds til 26th. Got to inject in stomach so at lest will be able to reach!! lol. Then off to Athens for transfer sometime in October. My oldest DS is soon to be a dad. It a bit bitter sweet as their relationship very bumpy. She has been unfaithful to him with his friends. When he told me she expecting (and it was not planned) I had to fight back tears. But he is very happy  so I will just hope everything will be fine. It difficult because she already got a little girl who she has stopped from visiting her own dad. As their relationship so shaky I worried about how  it all work out but i keep quiet and stay in background . Sure it will be all good . Back to conentrating on us now as they grown ups!! In uk also age restrictions from what i could find out and waiting list for DE. One fertility clinic i contacted would do treatment but it involved sending us abroad for DE transfer and would cost an extra £3000 pound so we thought we would cut out the middle man and save a bit of money. Wow!! you have  quite a brood. How do older ones feel about you being a mature mama? it worries me what mine will think but my DH is 10 yrs younger than me and no children so want more than anything to make him a dad. Good luck to all of us xx

Thank you so much for your support.  It is a second marriage for us as well and my husband is a bit younger than me. We both have older children all together we have 6 kids. Our kids ages are; 31, 27, 25, 14, 10 and 9. We have one daughter and she is the youngest.  We really wanted a baby of our own since we met.  We just couldn't stop thinking about it and lo and behold here were are. It cost us a fortune too over $30,000.00 Canadian. We have one grandchild that just turned 1 September 15, day of transfer.  Maybe this will bring us luck. Do you mind if I ask where you live? We live in Manitoba in Canada.  There are age restriction laws in our Province, thankfully they don't apply to all of Canada.

You must be counting down the days  to September 26th and you must be on a bunch of meds too.  Their not too bad I am getting used to it.  Injections are a little tricky in your own bum but use 22 guage needles and 1 inch they are the best. Not sure the measurements in Greece.  Sounds like you have been through a lot too.

Good luck and lots of baby dust to you for the 26th. God Bless and little miracles do happen every day xoxo

Ok I guess I feel like the matriarch here.  I am of AMA (advanced maternal age) just got married in June to my DH and we have been together for almost 4 years.  He had a vascectomy and I am well you guessed it peri-menopausal.  I know our options were slim but I started researching egg donation in Canada.  It is possible but kind of annoying as paying the donor is how do you say this "illegal" anyway don't even get me going.  Well we found an excellent agency and because of my age we had to go to a clinic in Toronto.  Sad thing is we started this a couple years ago but put it on hold due to other things going on. Anyway, here is where we are at now;

We just had our IVF/ICS on September 12 via egg donor and DH's sperm. We had our 3dt on September 15, 2012.  We transferred 2 perfect 8 blastomere eggs and my god we almost cried when I saw them they are so cute. DH was in with me holding my hand it was so amazing to watch everything.  It was a little pinchy when the catheter was inserted but otherwise it was ok. I had to go pee immediately then went and rested for about an hour. I am now 9dp3dt and I did a couple of pregnancy tests as I went.  Guess what we got BFP!!!! On day 6 no less and now I am day 9.  I was feeling lots of symptoms sore boobs, tired, veins on my chest, peeing like crazy even at 4 am (when I did the test by the way). Even felt nauseas this morning so I am really hopeful this will work.  I am so excited and just waiting for my BETA on September 29th.  This is so exciting.  Lot's of baby dust to everyone. I will keep you posted.
