Our donor had her first E2 drawn last week, she was at 659.7, the nurse says she is doing very well. I'm looking forward to her appointment tomorrow when they should do an u/s and follicle count. I'm still struggling because I feel so very distant from the process (we are doing PGS and so FET in July) but I know that will change when I start FET prep. So I'm just waiting for my update tomorrow and hoping her baseline count of 30 is on point!!

dukegirlsc-FX for a great follicle count! 


Thanks for the add! We got our legal paperwork/contract last week and made a few changes and sent it back this morning to be revised. Hopefully the next version is the final version and we can all sign and move on! We are still counting down the days (27 in case anyone else is counting ) until out June 6th appointment. At that appointment we should be getting our calendar hopefully and am really hoping that we cycle in July!

dukegirlsc, FX for a great follicle count. I know with my first FET, it never crossed my mind that these were not "mine". It's exciting and I'm excited for you!

cateyes,27 days is nothing!!!! FX this is the final contract and you can get moving.

AFM, just hanging out at 3dp5dt and wondering what those beautiful little blasts are up to

Not for sure yet. I figure 5dp5dt is the realistic earliest but my beta is not until 5/16. I really don't want to have to go multiple days giving IM shots with a BFN

[dukegirlsc]

therealbug, I will totally be stalking you to see when you start testing!!

Just a little rant, sorry I'm full of them lately. But why in the world would a donor coordinator at an RE clinic think that it is ok to send an email that says "donor is looking great! likely retrieval on Saturday" with NO OTHER INFORMATION! I'm like seriously woman, I want some freaking details!! E2, follicle count...geez! We've talked on the phone, she knows how type A control freak I am AND she has my chart, she knows what we've been through. Does she honestly think any woman with IF issues would be happy with a "donor is looking great!" message? WTF? Any who, I called and emailed requesting more specific information. Hopefully that will get sent over soon. End of rant, thanks for listening!

Edited to add: The nurse emailed me with "She has about 25 measureable follicles and her estradiol was 2871" all better now!!

Hey everyone - thanks for checking in on me. We had our visit to Shady Grove and it went really well. It's a bit of a whirlwind as they pack everything into 1.5 days for out of towners.

Next steps are a couple lab tests and a mock estrogen priming cycle for me...we expect to have everything complete in about 2.5 weeks. Then we'll hear if we qualify for their shared risk program (a guarantee of take home a baby in 6 fresh IVF cycles or your money back) - once that happens we'll have access to the donor database to choose a donor.

We are still waiting to hear from our local RE office about pricing on a guarantee program - but we aren't confident it will match or beat SG's..and are continuing the process with SG because I just can't sit around and wait on my local office to get their pricing together...mama wants a baby! ;-)



dukegirlsc, that is so exciting on the 25 follicles! I totally hear ya on the details...glad she came through with a better update for you!

therealbug, have you tested yet? I'd be SO anxious to wait til the beta!

cateyes, congrats on making progress...I know this "paperwork" phase is so tedious!
