Re: A Donor Cycle Update

  • I hope this new donor comes through for you! I'm sorry the previous donor was such a flake.

  • ((hugs)) I'm sorry this has been such a tough road.  And sorry that the first donor was being so difficult.  I wish you the best of luck with the new donor.  Hopefully the wait won't feel too long.

  • Ashley, it sucks when things don't go as planned.  ((HUGS)) IF is bad enough without having to rely on someone else, especially when that someone else keeps screwing around with you.  I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this.  Praying that this new donor is the one for you and that you get to cycle in May as planned!

    Maybe it is a miracle in disguise that things got so messed up with the previous donor that you had to switch again.  Maybe this process will allow you to see that this new gal is a better fit.  Sending lots of T&Ps your way.

    Also, I completely understand how you keep second guessing your decision.  You know it is the right decision for you, but when the third party on which you are relying keeps letting you down, it is hard not to wonder if you would be better off doing it yourself.  However, your reasons for deciding to do DE haven't changed.  That is why when you are calm and at peace, you know it is right.

  • Oh Ashley I'm so sorry about the first donor. I can't believe she is canceling appointments. That makes me so angry.

    I'm glad you found a new donor. What a bonus she even looks like you!! I'm sorry you are still 3rd in line but May will be here before you know it. Good luck sweetie!

  • Ashley, I'm so sorry to hear about your previous donor.  I'm praying this one works out for you.  You've done so much for all of us with the med donations...you really deserve this.  Best of luck to you!

  • I am so so sorry that this has been such a long bumpy road for you!  I would have made the same decision...I mean, if she is this unreliable now, who's to say she wouldn't back out the day before her ER?! 

    I am crossing everything for you!! Thinking of you!!

  • Hi ashleyann.  I read your blog update.  

    I'm so sorry you have to go through this "bumpy road".  I wish it was a smoother ride for you.  Hopefully this new donor will not add to the delays and that your cycle comes up as expected this time.

  • Wow Ash, im so sorry! This lady is definitely screwing around with the wrong people! I cant believe someone could be so lax about something that someone else is so dependent on!!! I am so happy to hear you found another donor and hope these next cycles fly by for you so you can get started! Hang in there girl! You are very strong!

  • I'm so sorry your donor is so flaky! I cannot stand people like that in every day life, and I'd be super pissed about it in a situation like yours. I hope the new donor comes through for you guys, and I'm glad she looks like you! That is exciting :)

  • ((Hugs)) I'm sorry you have to go through this, but sounds like you have a better option moving forward.  I hope this new donor works out and gives all parties involved wonderful eggs:)  I know being 3rd may suck because of the wait, but at least you can see how she does before you use that donor?  Good luck!

  • So sorry to hear that your first donor didn't work out.  But glad that you rechose one that (hopefully) you will be comfortable with.  Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

  • I really think this sounds like the right choice.  I have a really good feeling about this!!

  • I am so sorry that you have had to deal with someone who obviously doesn't care about helping other people.  IF sucks bad enough without having to deal with people like that.  I hope that this new donor is better than you could have ever imagined!
