It’s been a while since my last post and that’s because a whole world of ‘nothing’ has been happening in my “having a baby” journey. I thought once I had picked a clinic overseas that, a month or so later, I’d be ready to go with my frozen eggs and donor sperm in the same place and then it was just a question of keeping everything crossed and seeing what happens……. sadly, as like everything with this journey, things are never that eassy.

Its taken almost six months to get all the paperwork in order to ship my eggs from my UK clinic to the clinic I have chosen in Cyprus! I can’t imaging how much paperwork was really needed or why on earth it would take that long, but it did! I mean it’s not like I am pushed for time or anything!

Yesterday I finally got the good news that all paperwork was in order in both the UK and Cyprus and so now we are all systems go to start the transportation. Let’s hope that the actual transportation process doesn’t take as long!

The plan now is (as I always have to have some sort of plan) to get the eggs to Cyprus and then early in September I will give this thing a go. I’m trying not to think too far ahead, I find doing that automatically adds a whole world of pressure to this process, which as I have seen through my egg freezing journey and from following other who are on a similar journey, nothing, and I mean nothing goes how you would imagine it to, so I’m trying to keep embracing the “being comfortable with the uncomfortable” and just see what the next six months brings. One thing I can be sure of is that I have done all I can do to give this the best possible chance of being my reality. Watch the space….
