Why Can't Anything Ever Go Right?

Crap, crap, crap. I swear it feels like I can never get a break. After waiting forever for AF to arrive for me so we could get this cycle started, we are now waiting for AF to arrive for my donor. She was supposed to start stims last Friday, according to my schedule, but right now, we are still waiting for AF to start and I'm just hanging out continuing to shoot myself up with lupron. If it arrives in the next couple of days, we are fine, but if it goes much longer than that, this cycle is most likely a bust and I'll have to start all over again. Please, please, please don't let that be the case. We have been waiting so long already. Please, for once, let things go according to plan. This is supposed to be my absolute best shot donor - very young, proven, known as a "good producer" - why is her period late the one month that I need her?

I am going to try to remain calm but I can feel the panic slowly starting to seep in.

Oh GOD, I feel your pain on this one. Here's hoping she starts bleedin' a gusher right about NOW.

Ugh. Is anything more maddening than the interminable WAIT?

The wait is horrible - I hate the waiting. I feel like my whole life is "hurry up and wait." I keep waiting for the next cycle, my period, the stims, etc. it sucks. Here's hoping she gets her period asap and you can get rolling.

Jesus this sucks a lot. I totally feel for you. I'm crossing my fingers that she starts bleeding ASAP.

I hope that by the time you read my comment, they've notified you that her AF started and all is on track. You definitely deserve a break!

UGH! Doesn't it feel like so much of this process is WAITING?! I think it's unlike most medical procedures where if you want something done you just do it. IF, and more specifically IVF, seems like about 2 hours worth of doctor/lab appointments and 6 WEEKS of waiting! And yeah, if you get a baby out of it it is worth the wait, blah, blah, blah, but that doesn't make me any more patient!

Hopefully she's well on her way by now.

Ugh! I hope that by now she has received her monthly "gift" so that you both can stop waiting!! You know, through most of process (when doing the old fashioned way) I dreaded AF, now for your donor at least, I hope she comes faster!
