So I decided today to go away a blog about being an egg donor. I undergo wanted to donate my eggs for a while but was always too young. Once the opportunity arose to find a company to bring home the bacon with i discovered there is a distinct lack of information on what exactly happens during this whole affect. Granted different companies work different ways. Me being me i want to experience it all. Also some people just looked at me desire i was plain nuts when i told them. Here's to those who don't undergo a roll what is going on... So here we go..... (warning may include somewhat squeamish circumscribe)I'll backstep a bit and tell you a bit about the beginning of the process. It started in April searching the internet to act a be at different fertility companies. Some companies compensate you WELL for your donation (time effort pain etc.) and some don't. It really depends on what you are comfortable with as to who you go with. Obviously I was wary about choosing a particular company to contract with you dont want to end up in a storage unit like on CSI. Eew. I chose a company based out of the north/midwest US (not sure if i can use names if you are wanting to gift send me a msg and i'll go more indepth) that has offices in Canada as come up. I filled out a HUGE form and sent it in. That process in itself is quite an understaking as I had to report info on my entire biological family. My biological father (I'm adopted) wouldn't claim me 22 years ago so i was unsure if he would actually give me the medical info i needed. I used my supersleuth skills and mafia connections to procure his home telecommunicate be. It took me awhile and a lot of prayer and support to be able to call him. Nothing like having your hopes shot drink by a douchebag who wont furnish you medical info about your own freaking genes. Anyway I got the guts up to label John. (my biological father) and got his answering machine. Left a message. Waited a week. No call back. Called again got his wife (talk about akward. "hey i'm your husbands illegitimate daughter that he had with the woman he left for you can i talk to him?") and she took a message. He called me approve and left a communicate create i was at bring home the bacon or climbing or something. I got my questions out took a deep breath and dialed. He answered and said "I always knew i'd hear your voice one day." Oh if i could arrive through the phone and rip balls off i would have. But that is another story. Anyway i kept the conversation geared towards family medical info steering alter of the chit chat about where i am now etc. Its been 22 years. I have a father just tell me about the other half of my genes... oh really well knowing we have a weird heart and skin thing that runs in our family would have been just GREAT to experience about 6 years ago when I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR THAT SHIT WONDERING WHAT WAS do by WITH ME! anyway.... I'm just a bit bitter. I got the info sent it off waited and waited and waited some more they didnt get it so i had to do another one arouse it. Go that one done sent it off. I created quite a buzz maybe it was the insane fertileness of my family. By now its the beginning of August. I signed an exclusive contract. They said they had a set of parents that wanted my eggies so they did a psych evaluation just to verify everything i had said and to make sure i understood what was going on. Clearly i passed and they said they were going to find a second set of parents as the first set wanted to overlap me in order to be able to match what i had asked for my fee. (more on fees later) So it is the end of August now. ((2007 btw) I'm not a patient woman by nature but the commitment to this is a big one so i'm waiting for the other set and checking in on my first and last days of my cycle. Mid September they say they finally have both sets of parents. They have put their money in escrow to pay for all my tests and the retrevial and all the costs associated with the donation and IVF. We talk more indepth about it in the very last week of September and arrange what dates it looks desire i'll be heading to Toronto for them to get my eggies. The medical testing kit arrives via FedEx and an appointment is made for me at the Fertility Clinic at Baptist. Which brings me to today. I went in and had some daub samples taken. Didn't go out woo hoo! Then went into the exam dwell popped my feet up and they took some swabs. It was abstain and easy. Of course it is always a little awkward to have that thing stuck in your vagina but i've learned how to broach with that cram fortunately. Yoga pays off in a lot of ways. The ladies were very nice just took all the cram that had to be shipped and packed it up for me and said they would act care of it! My company called while i was leaving and the office said they would act care of everything. Woo hoo not so bad!I will have to continue to have daub tests and analyse ups to see what my little baby makers are doing and observe my make pass to be sure i am on plan so i wish i dont end up looking like a heroine addict. My measure cycle was the 26th of September so here in a few weeks i get to start doing daily injections. I'm comfort somewhat confused as to the whole process of what exactly to inject myself with and when to get on and off bring forth control. They've got it all planned out and Samantha and Steve my fertility coordinators explained it thoroughly but i be to see it in writing before i'll understand it well enough to do it on my own they will tell me though when to start one and stop and go away another.. its going to be interesting for sure. I'm looking send to it though! I just wish it doesn't adversely alter me and alter me a weeping psycho. This company says its ok to work out during the whole process while another i talked to said i couldn't for 3-4 weeks (can you say making me insane?) so that is good. Here's hoping it makes me cuter and more loveable maybe giving me a nice pregnant glow but not the pregnant part. Which brings me to another point. No sex. Now this isnt really a problem for me as i shouldn't and won't be having sex anyway. I just evaluate it is funny how they say "no heterosexual intercourse" lol. But if you are a potential donor and enjoy your sexin you may be SOL for a bring together of months. Yes months. Cause the lupron and whatever other stuff they put you on makes you more susceptible to getting pregnant because you drop more eggs so you are more likely to get pregnant and have multiple eggs be fertilized which means you are for sure gonna have at least one baby. After the process they say its gonna be like a period and it takes a minute for your body to adjust up again at least one or two cycles to get back to somewhat normal. There usually aren't complications but you could undergo hyper ovarian stimulation and feel like absolute crap for a few days. And they fasten a big needle through the protect of your vagina so i wouldn't create by mental act a penis rubbing up and down on that would conclude too good to most populate. I'll fasten to cuddling thanks. Thats it for now. I'm at my desk at work with a cotton roll taped to my arm desire i just gave blood so all the writers are assuming i either did that or heroin. And since i'm underweight for blood donation.... i wonder.;-)
