I heard from the nurse yesterday and she told me that she has found a match for me and is just waiting for approval from the doctor. I was excited to hear the news. I told her that I hoped the approval process goes quickly so I don't drive her crazy in the meantime. Last time, it took over a month for the doctor to approve the donor. I have no idea what took so long. I'm thinking/hoping/praying that it will go quicker this time since I've been making so much noise lately - calling, e-mailing, letting them know that I am unhappy with how this whole process has been proceeding. In the past, it made me uncomfortable to be "the squeaky wheel" but at this point, I have no problem squeaking if it will result in better/quicker service.
I'm really hoping I like/feel comfortable with this new donor and that everything goes smoothly this time. I really do believe that a lot of things in life happen for a reason - we may not know that reason at the time, but I feel in my gut that the first donor just wasn't the right match for me. From the beginning, I wasn't 100 percent comfortable with her education level, her family medical history and her blood type. They were all things that bothered me, but I decided to put all my doubts aside and go ahead and accept her because I was so worried that if I didn't it would take too much time to find another. I really think that all the crap that followed were signs telling me that she wasn't the right one for me - her high estradiol level, her not returning phone calls this past month and causing us to miss out on another chance of cycling - it was all the universe's way of telling me to go with my gut and find a new donor. Too bad I didn't just do that to begin with, but to tell the truth, it did afford me some time to have a lot of fun this spring playing tennis, running, having cocktails outside with friends etc. so maybe it all worked out for the best.
For now, I going to try to remain positive and calm and, hopefully, I will get some good news about my new donor in the very near future.

Yay! That is great news - I hope your RE signs off this morning! (not holding my breath, but still!)
I am a big believer that things happen for a reason too. Hope you enjoyed your spring fun and this donor is everything you want and need= good luck!
Congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly from here on out, and I'm really looking forward to hearing about your DE experience since it's our next (next) step.
I hope you get good news soon. I think you are right about there being a reason for the first donor not working out. I'm really hoping this donor is the right one.
Woo Hoo! I am so happy that it looks like you may get a new donor. Anything that can make this process a little more peaceful is something worth taking hold of! I am looking forward to hearing about this new donor; hopefully she will be "the one."
I am so glad to hear that you're switching donors, truly. My hair stands on end when I hear "high estradiol" levels. Hey, cycles can and do fail with perfect numbers on paper but at least you do everything you can do from the outset. When you have a questionable lab report, eek - that's a damned good reason to stop.
I'm THRILLED for you and can't wait to hear the progress!
