third donation update

since last month, i went to my medical rescreen and saw my uterus for the first time. i usually have to pee when i do an ultrasound, but this time my bladder wasn't in the way. and both of my ovaries looked really cool. the doctor said it all looks healthy, no cysts. and my medical clearance should come soon.

i did the phone interview with a lawyer about the egg donor contract. i will not try to contact or steal the child - blah blah blah... i faxed it to the office, and i still need to mail the envelope. i'm waiting until i go to the post office so that i can get a receipt and get reimbursed for my postage. since the contract is like 20 pages and they want me to mail 2 signed copies to them. thats kinda a heavy thing. that will be my legal clearance.

i already got my psychological clearance.

when i went for my medical rescreen they gave me birth control pills and told me to call them when my period starts. i called them already. it started yesterday. they started to give me zovia, but i requested femcon fe because i liked it better. so i got femcon fe.
so now i'm going to begin taking the birth control pills and wait until they figure out a medication calendar for me and the surrogate.

my last donation was only july. so i have to wait until at least mid october for the extraction surgery. looks like we're timing it correctly.

my cycle in august was like 35 days long! i kept thinking, damn aren't i supposed to have my period? and then i was like, shit, i hope i didnt' impregnate any of those leftover eggs the doctor didn't get! that would suck.
i looked on my profile to see how the extraction went. they only took out 10, but they fertilized 6 or 7. thats pretty good as far as the ones that got fertilized, but i thought i had way more eggs than 10. so they didn't get all of them. i also felt like i was hyper ovulating throughout the past couple months. i feel healthy.

this is gonna be my last donation, unless my single gay baby daddy wants a genetic sibling, cause it destroys my sex life. its not worth $10,000.00 to be abstinent. its just not healthy.
