my test results came back. everything looks good and i'm cleared to go. next stepl would be to make calendars to figure out where i am at my cycle compared to the surrogate. but first -
i have to wait for the family law attorney to send me the egg donor contract, so i can have him read it to me over the phone, and then i'll sign and mail it back.
no major problems to report with the zovia birth control pills they have me on. i felt some mild cramping, throughout the past 3 weeks. not usual for me. probably the stupid pill.
they say i should be all done with this donation by the end of june or mid july.

medical re-screening
i waited in the fertility office for a good half hour. they were really busy. i got to read a few conceive magazines. see some pregnant belly fashion.
they finally called me and i went to the nurses station. they took 2 tubes of blood for STD infection check (way better than the gallon of blood they took last time), they had me pee in a cup. then i went into the ultrasound exam room. The fertility doctor came in, took a pap, put the pap q-tip thing into a tube his assistant was holding. the doctor took 3 ultrasound pictures. made a comment about how he was looking for cysts, and that my right ovary looked good (?) then he asked about my cycle, i was on day 3, so he prescribed me some birth control pills zovia. they changed from femcon fe to zovia because too many donors complained about breakthrough bleeding while on femcon fe.
they told me to start taking zovia that day. they said to stay on the pills until further notice. they had to check and see if i can proceed with the donation.
i'm on my 2nd day on zovia. they're not chewable and they dont taste like mint. so i dont like them.
I wanted to ask the doctor to review my healing process from the last donation. i'm emailing him my questions. i specifically wanted him to look at my menstrual cycles since the donation. they were all over the place. and now they're back to normal, and i'm about to mess them all up again. i also had the feeling often after the last donation, that i was ovulating more than once a month. it just felt like that. and after the second month after donation, i tried to put the nuva ring in, but i got sick to my stomach, so i had to take it out. i'll email him all my concerns.
i've been contacted by the reproductive lawyer. he's going to schedule an over the phone read of the egg donor contract. I'm going to have him draw up 2 contracts this time. one for me, and one for my husband to waive his right to the future child.
apparently in california theres a law that any child born into a marriage is automatically the husband's child. and that law would apply in egg donation, because its my DNA. and in california, husbands own the children of their wives DNA. kinda messed up if you ask me. Last donor contract, the lawyer wanted both my and my husband's signature on each page of my donor contract. this time i wont do that.
