At the age of 33 my husband and I both decided things were solid in our lives to have our first baby. After a year of trying unsuccessfully, I went to my OBGYN to find out if there is something we were doing wrong or if there was something wrong with one of us. After 6 months of different meds from my doctor, he sent us to a fertility specialist to help us more. At the age of 34, I found out the devastating news that I was not getting pregnant due to I was out of eggs and my ovaries were not working properly. It took me a few months to want to get past the news and move on to what the next step was for us to have a child. A year later we had decided to use an egg donor, that we picked out from my doctor’s office and I was finally getting fine with the fact that the child will not look like me, since I would be able to carry it and be pregnant. I started on the meds along with our donor, but after 3 cycles of the meds, I was STILL not responding to them and we decided to go ahead and have our donor go through with the process and we would just freeze any embryo’s that came out of her eggs combined with my husband’s sperm. Well, we ended up getting 5 embryos to freeze and try to use once my doctor figured out what meds can make my body react properly. a few months later nothing was working, so we had come to the fork in the road to try a surrogate or to give up. We decided to try with the surrogate when my body started responding to the meds a little better, so my doctor decided that he was will to try to implant 2 embryo’s if we wanted to try it. Well, we thawed 2 of the 5 embryo’s but only 1 made the thaw and was able to be implanted into me. The doctor gave us less than 1% chance of it working so our hopes were not very optimistic, but knew anything could happen. Well, 7 days later we found out that it worked and I was pregnant…..YEAH!!! I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in January of 2007! Last summer we decided to try again with our remaining 3 frozen embryos, but we didn’t get a chance because they did not thaw out correctly. Here it is one year later and we would LOVE to try again!!! It BREAKS my heart that our son will not have a sibling to grow up with, play with, and share those things that siblings share ALL because of MONEY!!! I have prayed to God to help me with this, gone to counseling, and tried so many techniques til I am exhausted!! We built our dream house with plenty of space for us to raise 2 children, and now it seems to big with only 1. I am a stay-at-home mom that ENJOYS, LOVES, and CHERISHES EVERY second I have with my almost 3 year old, but there is something still missing!! We are a middle income family, but the only debt we have is our house. We try not to buy anything unless we have the cash so we save up the money first to keep our debt under control. However, with the high blood pressure I had with my pregnancy my OBGYN wants me to have a baby before I turn 40 or things might be get fatal for me or the baby after that. I am turning 38 in Fabruary 2010, so NOW is the time to find another egg donor and try again, but we do not have TIME to save up the money first!! It BREAKS my heart and I cry to God every night as to a solution, but days and weeks are just rolling by with nothing. I know I am a FANTASTIC mother and have a WONDERFUL husband that is a GREAT daddy too! Is there ANYONE out there that could give us some advice on where to go, what to do, or who to ask for money assistance to help out? I know people are hurting to just pay bills these days and so that makes me feel so bad that I am asking money to get pregnant, but that is our DESPERATE need and we don’t know where else to turn. PLEASE HELP if you CAN!! GOD BLESS!
