Overwhelmed is an understatement

A lot of people close to me know how things have been, but today I finally have the courage to write an update on my experience. It's not all moonshine and roses. I was expecting to decide to donate my eggs and it will be straight forward. I never thought of all the complications and obstacles on the way there. Months after matching me with my recipient she is finally ready. A lot needs to happen prior to actually making this baby. My recipient had difficulties with the drugs to prepare her for this and had 3 cycles where she did not respond to the drugs. That meant that every time when I thought we might just be ready... we weren't :-( But finally two weeks ago I had the call... First I recognised the number on my phone and then the friendly voice on the other side of the phone. I finally came off the pill last Friday with a cycle that then started on Monday. Yesterday I had an 8am appointment at Guys at the ACU (Assisted Conception Unit) and then I had my first injection. I thought I'd be squeamish, but it was no trouble at all. This morning it took 5 seconds to inject with the pen and I continued my day as normal. I will continue that until next Wednesday when I am back up at the ACU. Fingers crossed this is the last hurdle to cross and that we can finally make this baby that I know will be loved and that is so desperately wanted. More updates next week as I am sure a lot will happen that I can share. Take care
