Last year, we posted this happy news from recent recipients, Valerie and Adam:

I went to FPNC today at 9:00AM for the first ultrasound, and Dr. Abusief showed me on the TV screen that there are two babies growing, each with a nice heartbeat and a “diamond ring” which means something like the cells are growing very well.  When she started, she immediately said that she could see “two sacks,” but I had no idea what that meant.  Then, she spent five minutes showing me the heartbeat in one of the sacks but wasn’t able to find the heartbeat in the other.  This was a touch five minutes, with her saying things like, “this is normal…sometimes it just takes some time for the other one to start growing…”  Then, Dr. Abusief finally was able to see the other heartbeat, and we all saw it really clearly.  It had been over at one side.  Dr. Abusief was very happy with everything she saw and said that the risk now of a “problem” is down to 15%.  We’ll go back in two weeks for another ultrasound, and will know at that point if Baby A and Baby B are boys, girls, or one of each.

I’ve got a print-out of photos of both Baby A and Baby B.

I am so happy!!!  I cried until my makeup ran down my face and I had to get back to work.

Thanks everyone for your help and support, especially to Lisa and Ellie from Beverly Hills Egg Donation for being such great advocates for us.

This has been a long and miserable journey for Adam and me, and hopefully we’ll now have the joy of parenthood.
