Bringing in the Donor

I spoke with the nurse today. Evidently, my donor's period still has not started so they are bringing her in for an u/s and bloodwork tomorrow to see what's going on. The nurse said maybe she had some spotting and didn't register that as her period or maybe - who knows? But she said they are going to check things out to see if we will be able to proceed or not. As much as I want to get this cycle started, if something is not right with her, I'd rather hold off so we can get the best results possible. This is our absolute, last and final attempt to have a child. I don't need anything messing things up. I just don't understand why things can't ever go right. I mean this donor was specifically chosen for me because she has done so well in the past. Why does every thing have to get all screwed up now? It's out of my hands. There's nothing I can do. Worrying doesn't change anything. Yada yada yada.......sigh.

Maybe I'll get some good news tomorrow. I guess if I'm trying to look on the bright side - at least now I don't have to worry about all this interfering with my Thanksgiving plans. If the donor is able to start stims, she may be having retrieval right around Thanksgiving but there is no way now that I'll be having my transfer then.

So when will you find out what the HELL is going on? Simply nuts. Like this process isn't crazed enough as it is.

Selfishly, of course, I'm hoping she has to wait, oh, about 2 weeks to start stims so that we'll both be going through this at exactly the same time.

Unselfishly, I hope everything's perfect with her and they start her stimming asap, because really, you don't need this sort of stress.

Sorry you're having to w.a.i.t. so long for everything to begin. Our inability to control this process is maddening.

Hang in there - tomorrow will bring some resolution.

What weirdness! Poor you, having to endure these challenges! I hope this is the last obstacle and everything is smooth-sailing from here on in!

UGH! More waiting! Something your clinic is good at! Hopefully you get some good news today so you don't have to W A I T all weekend.

I wish I knew why IF was my cross to bear and why every. single. step of this process has been so difficult for me. I wish I could give you some answers too.

Take care.

Well at least they are finally bringing the donor in to find out what the hold up is. I hope you get some concrete answers today. Sometimes the not knowing is the worst.
