A new nurse called me yesterday to check and see where I am in my cycle and to get me started on birth control pills. I picked up my prescription yesterday and took my first pill, so I guess we are officially on our way. I'm not sure where the donor is in her cycle or how long I'll have to be on BCPs before we sync up, but at least we've started and I feel like I'm doing something! It's exciting and also a little scary all at the same time.
Since I just can't be completely positive about all this, now I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my husband's sperm that causes the embryos to fragment and divide slowly. We've all assumed that it was a result of my egg quality and I never produced very many eggs to begin with, but now I'm afraid that the donor will produce a lot of beautiful eggs that will just fall apart and disintegrate once they are fertilized with my husband's sperm - that would be just our luck! But it does happen - I've been googling today.

Yay on getting started! Stop googling and think positive thoughts, please. It will do you absolutely no good to get yourself wrapped up in the "what ifs". I know, I've been here, it's hard. And you want to tell everyone who's telling you to think positive...but try to find a way. After I got started with this cycle I told myself it was out of my hands. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen and nothing I could do would change that. Thinking about you...try to find a distraction not IF related.
Stop googling!!! It will just make you insane (more so?). It is possible, but if your DHs sperm counts and mobility are good, assume the best. And you will have lovely young eggies in their prime for his guys to work on, I bet you'll end up with tons of embies this time.
Hoping the donor syncs up with you soon! Hate those BCPs.
I understand being nervous but all you can do is go forward.
