Donor Selected

We were excited to receive two additional donor profiles yesterday morning; so in total, we had a choice between 4 donors. I have to admit, I was hoping for a few more than that, but I won't complain. By afternoon yesterday, my hubby and I had decided on our favorite donor of the 4--she was one of the new additions given to us. When it came down to decision-making, we really weighed in on their family medical history, and I was still set on a blue-or green-eyed donor. It's so difficult to pick the "right" donor! I really hope she is the right donor for us.

I contacted our donor coordinator this morning with our selection--I didn't want to waste any time! (if you couldn't tell, I'm a very motivated person) Our next steps are dependent on our donor now. She needs to have additional lab work and a consult, and once that is completed (and everything looks good), we have to sync up our cycles. I'm hoping this next step goes smoothly. It's funny I've been hearing stories where donors back out or can't cycle for several months (due to commitments, etc), so I'm definitely keeping in mind our 2nd choice for a donor (if things don't work out with #1). Keeping my fingers crossed!
