Well, I must admit after all the complaining I did about my clinic and my nurse, things now seem to be rolling along quite smoothly. I guess I just caught them in the middle of a rough patch, but things appear to be straightened out now. I'm getting my phone calls returned in a timely manner and everyone is back to being quite helpful - so I no longer hate my clinic or my nurse - I take it all back!
I've signed off on my donor, and I just got off the phone with the financial coordinator to submit payment, so we are officially on our way. The financial coordinator said she'll now return my file to the nurse so she can proceed with the next step. I'm hoping to hear something soon about where the donor is in her cycle, so we can get started.
In other news, my step-brother and his wife are so excited about their newly adopted baby. She is so adorable - it's easy to see how they are able to fall completely in love with her. It's nice because it just helps reinforce the notion of how little genetics matter when you are talking about your feelings for a baby. While I wish my husband and I could both contribute genetically to our child, I know if we are lucky enough and this works, we'll love our baby unconditionally, regardless of the genetics involved.

Yay! I am so glad the clinic/personnel are coming around. I can't wait to hear more about where she is and how things are going. You are right about the genetics. It's so easy to get wrapped around the axle, as my husband says about the genetics thing but really it doesn't matter. WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO so glad you're getting started!
What a relief to finally get going - and that the staff is returning calls and all. My clinic is really short-handed right now since 2 nurses left (and it is a small clinic) and it is kind of freaking me out since we are cycling. Hopefully if your place was short-staffed this means they hired some new folks.
The genetics are a big thing, but if you can't do it, you can't! And you WILL be contributing genetically as your cells do go into the embryo as they grow, someone had a article about how the mother's (your) cells could be detected in a DE child even after birth. Which made me feel good. Sorry I don't remember where I saw the article, but it was in a medical journal type of thing, not People Magazine or something (no offense People).
Can't wait to hear how the donor is doing, good luck!
