  • Thanks hon.

    For anyone else interested, here is my update so you don't have to search for it on another board:

    "Last I told you ladies, I was going to split a cycle with a donor and be 2nd in line to receive.  But then I got a surprise phone call last Monday morning from the clinic. Another donor that I had liked back in July (I was first on her wait list) became available as the original recipient decided not to do DE. The donor has already done and passed all her pretesting and is on BCPs ready to go.  They gave me 24 hrs to decide if I wanted to use her or they'd release her back to the donor pool.  DH and I decided to go for it since we could cycle sooner than the other donor and we'd be first in line to get her eggs.  I am just waiting for AF to arrive and then I will start BCPs for a short time to get us sync'd up. My best guess is an ER the first week in October. Donor is also a red head and resembles me a lot. She also has a masters degree which was important to me.

    I'm excited but of course scared to death of it not working after seeing too much on these boards to my dear friends.I'll just take a deep breath..."

Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!!

    I am happy that you are moving forward, I know we talked about settling, I feel it too. At least yours has the red hair and Masters, my "bls" doesn't....I wanted the one with the red hair and the graduate degree. 

    Best wishes to you!!!!!  I hope this time all of your dreams become reality!!

    McIrish,

    I am so thrilled to read this update.  I think about you all the time and am praying that this donor has "wonder" eggs and that you will get your BFP and the baby of your dreams out of this DE cycle.  I'll keep popping in to see how you are doing.  T&P and ((HUGS)) to you.
