Welcome everyone! My name is Lisa, I'm 32 years old, a mum to 2 beautiful kids and I am about to undergo a very exciting and very daunting journey. I am going to donate my eggs to a couple to give them the opportunity to have a baby.
I first heard of egg donation in 2008, and instantly I knew it was something I wanted to do. I read up on the internet about it, looked at forums, and gained as much knowledge as I could. Then when my hubby and I completed our family I started to think more seriously about it. In August I started looking at ads wirtten by couples who need somebody to donate their eggs to them so that they can have the chance of falling pregnant.
You see, my parents struggled to conceive me and in the back of my mind I always thought that I would experience a level of infertility, but we were so easily blessed with our kids, and I never take that for granted. So knowing that I have good eggs (and make some pretty darn cute kids, if I do say so myself) I feel a strong urge to want to help people in need of precious eggs.
I found a beautiful couple and connected with them almost instantly. Within a few conversations I knew they were the couple I wanted to help. We met and it was obvious that this was going to be a great relationship, so I offered them my gift of eggs and from there we started our journey. We have already have a few experiences which have had our emotions flying high and dipping low, but the important part of this journey for me starts tomorrow. I go for orientation at the clinic where it will all take place.
So please feel free to come and check in and read where I am up to. I know this is not going to be easy, but I am excited and feeling very positive about it all. It's only a few weeks out of my life and could create something so incredibly wonderful.
Thanks,
Lisa xx
