Yesterday I recieved another packet in the mail about the ED (egg donor) stuff. It was about the general types of medicines (the protocol varies some), what the medicines do, and rough timetable of the meds/injections. I am finishing up my bc pill packet, period starts, and then I start injecting myself. I am not that nervous about the actual injections but want to make sure I insert the needle in my abdomen correctly and to make sure I take the absolute correct medication. Before I begin the injections I have to go to the office and they will give me a 'lesson' on how to do it so I am sure all will be fine. I am also hoping that don't get OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome), sometimes it happens, it can be really bad but is watched closely to make sure that it doesn't become that bad.
In other news, school is starting in a week... Great, school begins around the same time I am injecting myself and not feeling that comfortable. Hopefully the way I made my schedule will work well with this and I won't have to miss any school, that is what I am hoping. The goal is if (hopefully it's not) the ER (egg retrieval) falls on a school time that the ER will be in the morning, I will come home sleep it off and then someone can drive me to school that night since I won't be able to drive. That is the goal, hopefully it isn't too far fetched.
I am getting excited about the the egg donation. Yes, to some it may seem far out there, but I am giving someone the possibility of a family. Yes, there are no guarentees that it will work, but hey it might, and hopefully it does. Since it is an annonymous donation, I probably will never know the family, and while some may not be fine with that, I believe I am. It would be cool if years down the road somehow we did become in contact, but if that never happens, that wil be fine also. There is the option to do egg donations up to five times, and although I doubt I will do it that many times, if all goes well I may do it again.
Until next time....
