hi i've been lurking for a while and finally decided to post i'm single and about to start my ttc journey after finally choosing a donor from manhattan cryobank! its taken months to finally find a willing to be known AA donor but i found him, so i'll be talking to my dr after the holidays. my thoughts is that i want to try iui because my chances for conception are higher but i will wait and see what the dr suggests. any tips before my appointment or in general as i start this journey?
thanks in advance!

Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
