Well, today I was at the Dr for 2 hours!! I had blood work done and talked to the OB coordinator. She went over my history and my family's history. She asked about DH's history and his family's history. I mentioned I was a carrier for Tay-Sachs, so she did recommend I have DH tested. I had requested that the donor facility send my records, so they will have all of their testing in front of them. She went over what I should and should not do. No more soccer or riding with DH on the motorcycle. :( She also went over what I shouldn't eat. She mentioned what would happen at all the appts and what the delivery process will be, as far registering early. She gave me bag full of info and mentioned the classes offered at St. Mary's hospital. It was overwhelming, but informational! All I can say is that I am so exhausted! Good night!!

I can't believe I'm pregnant!
Well, you saw the last post! I took 2 tests and both were VERY positive. My first appt is this Thursday at 1:15pm. I am really nervous, but excited. They are just running some tests, but I'm not sure if I will have an internal exam done. I am only seeing the OB coordinator. June 22nd I will actually see my doctor and I will have my first u/s!! My current symptoms are nausea, fatigue, heavy bb's, warming sensation in the abdomen, moodiness, and cramping.
I think my DH is still in shock. I think he won't believe it until I go to the doctor. He's not coming with me to my first appt, since they won't be able to hear a HB. So, I think my EDD is January 14th, so we'll see what the nurse says on Thursday. I'm getting very scared lately...thinking what did we get ourselves into!?!?! I have to keep reminding myself that I am 28 and younger girls do it all the time! I know my DH really wanted me to donate my eggs for the money (to pay off debt), so I really hope he doesn't think I did this on purpose. I think God had something in store for us...prepared or not.

????
Not sure what's going on with my body, but I am late...really late. Today is day 39. I took 2 tests last Friday and this past Monday...both BFN's. I don't know if I should waste another test this weekend. It's quite possible that I ovulated late and tested too early, but I don't feel any different. I don't feel pregnant.

It's been a while
Well, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. My DH did not get tested for Tay-Sachs. The doctor's office he went to did not have the necessary tube to collect his blood in, so we decided not to worry about it. What would we do anyway?
The donation clinic contacted me to let me know they may have found a match for my eggs, but I would not be able to cycle until July/August. I also found out even if I was to donate to the frozen bank, I would have to wait until August/September. I really do not want to wait that long, considering I would have to wait to TTC until December or January. I know it's only 7 months away, but it seems like such a looong time. If I were to donate to a recipient, I would have to get on her cycle, which sucks. I have not heard back from the clinic, so who knows.
We found out today that my DH will lose his job at the end of June. The company he works for has lost their contract with the account they handle, so they're moving out, while the next carrier company takes over. Luckily, we knew it could happen ahead of time, so we were definitely prepared. So, it looks like I will have to donate my eggs this fall. We have no choice but to wait.
I hate the economy! Losing his job would not be so bad if there were other jobs available. So, he's looking into getting his CDL as well as getting P.O.S.T. certified (law enforcement). I would hate for him to be a police officer (they get paid so little here and he would be in danger), but we have to pay bills. I am praying he finds something soon...I feel so bad for him...
