I'm sorry to hear that your first attempt didn't have a successful result. Don't give up on looking for the right egg donor for the two of you. <br /><br />I love your earth-mama connection to baking; truly loving, nurturing, comforting and celebrating. Funnily enough, I live in England, but besides my husband's famous scones, I prefer the American version, which aren't generally cookie-cutter rounds, and come in different flavours than raisin or currant.<br /><br />Good luck with your next step. I'll be following along. <br /><br />Lisa (ICLW #65 - your great life)Lisahttp://yourgreatlife.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277036979128068774.post-69506900631092646092010-04-26T19:35:09.148-04:002010-04-26T19:35:09.148-04:00I'm so sorry. We are about to go the donor eg...I'm so sorry. We are about to go the donor egg route (with a known donor though), so I am very interested in your journey. I'm curious, might it be worthwhile to try another cycle with the same donor, since you feel such a connection to her? Also--scones and cats are two of my favorite things, and absolutely valid cheering up methods!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319707316191000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277036979128068774.post-25199202761983647762010-04-25T06:37:32.743-04:002010-04-25T06:37:32.743-04:00Scones and cat = awesomeness.

So sorry.
I would also suggest ...Damn, that sucks! So sorry.<br /><br />I would also suggest having immune and thrombophilia testing done. Most REs don't order this testing until after several losses or failed IVFs, but it's just blood tests and it can't hurt to be proactive. I didn't even discuss this with my RE (because I'd read about their attitude about it), I just got a recommendation for a hematologist and had it done. I told the hematologist that because of my age, I wanted him to run the tests he would run on a woman who'd had several miscarriages or failed IVFs. He agreed it was a good idea and had his staff take what seemed like 1/2 my blood. It was ALL covered by insurance. (BTW, I have a great one in the city if you can't find one locally.)Dorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255190971670471758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277036979128068774.post-15980324942972768102010-04-16T10:12:38.618-04:002010-04-16T10:12:38.618-04:00I love scones and I HATE BFN's! So sorry this...I love scones and I HATE BFN's! So sorry this cycle was a bummer for you. You have a plan - stick to it! That always helped me to know what I was going to do next. Find a new donor and maybe get the swimmers checked out a little more. Maybe it just wasn't a good match up - happens in real life too not just the little dish. Hope you told the tax dudes to bite it. That's just awful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277036979128068774.post-44880152426838978782010-04-16T00:32:24.509-04:002010-04-16T00:32:24.509-04:00I'm so sorry.

I need a strategy to keep myself going. Did your doctor talk to you about doing the sperm DNA integrity test (I think that's what it's called)? That's probably what I would do if there was any suspicion of a sperm issue.<br /><br />By the way, your darling kitty looks just like mine, except I suspect mine would be trying to eat those delicious looking scones.
