change in plans

I realize just two days ago I was talking about the egg donor's appointment, but now, for reasons that I would have a hard time clearly communicating through words in a blog, I am headed back to donor embryos. Hopefully in about a week the clinic should have a set of 13 embryos available that so far seem to be a good match for me. As soon as I return from vacation, I'll call the clinic to check that they are ready to go and hopefully be officially matched with them! They were created through IVF with donor eggs, so the donor profile that I'll be able to see includes the egg donor's picture even. I have been up and down the past couple of day wrestling with this decision, but learning about the embryos and talking with who would have been my egg donor, I finally feel some peace. I am once again cautiously excited about this possibility, and pray that this is what is meant to be.
As for my "almost" egg donor, she will forever be family to me, and I will never forget the gift she offered me.

check back @ April 13

My dear, potential egg donor had her consult, tons of bloodwork, and initial ultrasound today.... I felt so bad for her because she was there for HOURS it seems! We now get to wait some more (of course, more waiting!) for about 3 weeks for all the test results to come back. It sounds like the target date for her to start injections is April 25th. In the meantime, if we don't hear anything by April 13th (3 weeks from today) I will be calling the office every hour to check on things! :) That's about all I know! :)

Appt. next Wednesday

Finally, my potential egg donor has an appointment with my doctor coming up on Wednesday, March 23rd!! Fingers crossed that all goes well and we can start moving forward!

just waiting...

I've had a couple people ask, so this is just an update to say there is no real update. ;) The egg donor application was emailed (we thought) but the email address was off by one character so it never went through. Now the doctor still needs more info and hopefully will be in contact with the potential donor for later today even or very soon, and we can actually start moving on this! Patience, patience, patience.... sigh.
