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 :)

Hi Stacey I am  going to Athens  to have DE embrio transfer with DH sperm as he got it checked as part of his tests but at 46 think this my only chance of having his baby  I have been married before and very lucky to have 3 grown up children though lost my first DD when she was 5 months old due to heart problems Been speaking to Carrieann who recomended I cotact you as you very knowledgable .I did cosider going to Spain but found a clinic in Athens called Embio. it seems to have good success with DE. I cant get DE ivf in UK cos of age and fact I have older children and lack of donors due to law here. We dont have much money so took out a loan (for a new car) The meds cost me £96 english pounds inc delivery and the treament iinc DE cost £4500. plus flights and hotel etc. I never thought about offering any spare embrios for adoption but think it a really good idea. I am sterting my Suprecur injections on 26th of this month( wow just 3 days) I am really finding inspiration from all the fantastic ladies on this site as I have not really got anyone to talk to apart from one friend , although my sister in law is also being suportive she is very busy so dont have opportunity to let all the worries and excitement out. not told anyone else. Just hoping they will share the excitement if we are succesful. I am sending you my best wishes too.

I'm starting to look at bothe embryo or donor egg, I would go with embryo adoption but my husband would prefer his sperm, we are also looking at spain as an option, it will cost us around 6200 Ed for donor eggs plus any meds, and you get all the eggs harvested at that time, this may put us in the position to help another couple or two as we would then donate any useable embryos that we have left over, in australia at the ivf clinic that is in my area 1 egg cost $6000, we wouldnt have the travell expense but usuing/getting a donor egg here is alot more complicated and takes longer, I found this site for anyone who maybe interested www. ivftreatmentabroad.com

I am glad  you feel better letting your emotion out . i know that is how I coped with losing Sophie. I  am so glad you have got love and support around you and that everyone is giving you the chance to put your feet up. I have not told anyone in my or DH family as concerned what they will think as i am sooo old! Lol. If and when we are blessed I will tell them  then but it is very hard keeping all my emotions to myself. I am sorry not reply earlier but not quit sure how to navigate round this site but it is really helping me reading about everyone who is travelling  on this journey. I too considered Spain but found Embio medical centre on the internet. The specialist there was on the original ivf team that delivered Louise Brown ( the first ever test tube baby) I live in UK too. I hope evrything goes well. keep us posted x

Just curious, WHY SPAIN? is it more affordable , or are the docs better?

I'm going through California Conceptions too!  I've heard really good things about them.

Best of luck to all of us, and I cannot wait to hear everyone's happy news!!

Wow that sounds a good package, the one thing I did before treatment was have a womb check and was really shocked at a load of polyps being there, they were not visable on day 22 but they were on day 7 of my cycle. my Gygny man said that their removal was needed for a pregnancy and the wound would heal and leave new fresh surface ideal for implantation. It all cost and it's scary but I've no choice.  However I'm now 21 days from transfer and the pregnancy blood hormone is rising, doubled in last 48 hours so today I'm still pregnant, first scan in two weeks so fingers crossed ;))
