Help me and my husband have a baby

Donation protected
Hi me and my husband paul have been together for 7 years, after a couple of years together and trying for a baby we went to the doctors and they done tests on us Both I was told I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and a blocked tube, Also wasn't producing many eggs. And paul had to have a operation to remove some semen, The process was long and frustrating, we got married in 2012 and not long after we were excepted for a round of ivf/icsi, While going through ivf paul had a routine blood test and found out he had cystic fibrosis. We started the cycle and kept going for routine scans, the consultant told me that the injections were making my cysts bigger instead of the follicles so had to have the injections longer then most, eventually some of my follicles got to the right size and had the operation to get the eggs out. The drs only managed to remove 3 which is nothing compared to most. My husband took them to the bridge centre in London and We were so happy and looking forward to what was ahead, we was waiting near our phones the next day waiting for that phone call to tell us if my eggs and Paul's semen have made a embryo, eventually my phone rang.. is this the 1st stages of becoming a mummy and daddy? NO that phoned call shattered our world. It hasn't happened we said to each other. We felt every bad emotion possible as we knew we wouldn't be able to afford another go. We went to the hospital a couple of weeks later and was told that with my problems and Paul's problems we wouldn't be able to conceive naturally and that ivf probably would work if we tried again as I dint produce the eggs. 4 years later we are still finding it so heartbreaking and incomplete, we just want to be a mummy and daddy so we have been looking into every option possible, we have come up with the option of trying embryo donation, that way someone else is donating there Semen and eggs to us. Unfortunately it still costs so much so money so we are going to do this in Europe where the success rate is good and it's a cheaper option.. to everyone that is generous to donate however the amount we thank you. Hopefully we get this money and if a success we will make sure we tell our baby how generous people can be
Thank you
Xx
