Just before I run away from home again I'll be posting a book review for the book club I belong to. I'm really loving the story line of this novel and the recipes at the end of the book.
Last night J and I sat down and went over the dozen egg donors that I printed out. I narrowed it down to my blood type. I'm A positive which seems to be quite common among the donors. Then because none of the donors come even close to my husband's coloring we went with mine. I was rather hoping to find a blonde haired, blue eyed donor so that I could just tell our kid that he/she looks like its daddy. Well that isn't going to happen. But there are many donor out there that look a lot like me. I swear my folks cloned me.
With all the above said we have our first and our second lined up. Now if only they will be there later this year when we want them we'll be set. Ugh! I know how luck goes. We have the 3rd, 4th, and 5th lined up too. Who knows what the fall of the year will bring with donors. For now we have promise with the ones we chose. All five are proven which pleases me.
On the cyst front:
I'm getting more pain. Now the pain is more on the left side and the cyst is on the right. Could I be revving up for ovulation? Probably. I did an OPK yesterday and it was pale. I should probably do one today. Seriously at this point it would be just like my body to shoot out a bad egg to muck things up more. Not like I'm really wanting sex with all the bleeding and pain either. Still it would probably lead to yet another nasty cyst and that is far from what I want at this point. The one I have is bad enough.
Sounds like a hard decision to make on the donor. Thinking about you and hoping you find the right one for you guys!
ReplyDeleteWell it wasn't that hard. Now I can only hope that the donors we liked will still be available when and if we need them later this year. If not I'll go through the others again.
DeleteI'm glad you're being positive about the donor eggs, and it sounds like so is J. I really hope you can go forward with this. Keeping you in my thoughts there.
ReplyDeleteAnd boo to the bleeding and cyst... hoping everything clears up soon.
J is excited about the donor eggs. He didn't think I would be but heck, I'm eliminating my bad eggs from the picture and genetic issues too.
DeleteI am a lil confused. With donnor eggs you are still using yur husbands sperm right? Or am i wrong? If you use your husbands sperm then the child will still have the same chance of looking like him right? Again, sorry if these are stupid questions *blushes*
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll still be using my husband's sperm. So this way the child will still be his genetically. And yes the child does have a chance of looking like him but there are still dominant traits from the donor to be considered. Not stupid at all. What I'll probably end up doing is printing out the donor's baby picture, if there is one, and putting it in the scrapbook I'll give to my kid one day. Including all the donor information for medical reasons as well.
