The roller coaster ride of infertility is a crazy one. 1 in 8 couples face infertility, but very few must resort to using IVF. Even fewer than those must resort to using an egg donor. This is our story about our ride. Scary, exciting, and lonely at times...but in the end very much worth it.
Just the two of us...for now
And so the journey begins...

The search is over...I hope!
I am feeling super excited right now!! After endless online searches through multiple egg donor agencies worldwide, I believe we have found HER! For both Jeff and I, our guts and our hearts tell us she is the one. The one to make all of our dreams come true for having a family. :) So much so, that I felt comfortable giving that all-important phone call to our egg donor coordinator at my RE's office this afternoon to give her the info about this donor. Now we just wait to find out the donor's asking compensation fee, her agency's fee, the legal fees, the travel expenses (the donor lives in the Chicago area), etc. This donor has donated 4 times previously, so she is a proven successful donor, and amazingly enough, she looks strikingly similar to me! So much so, that she could easily pass for being my sister. (Oddly enough, she looks more like she could be my sister than my own actual biological sister does.) The search is over....God willing that she is available for the timeframe that we are hoping for. If she is, then it's on!!! I am so happy! :)
