So what has been hapening with me?
It has actually been so hectic since I last posted that I can’t even remember what has hapened. I feel like the tazmanian devil. Everything is just whirling past me……..or I am just whirling past them.
On the ttc side, we have successfully gotten back on the horse. Wierd! Now when I say back on the horse I mean many things. We are doing the ‘try naturally every month – just in case’ thing. Which is new as we haven’t done that since the begining. I pulled out my licky thingy (although I have had no success in using it), I have been working out my most fertile days and then of course we have been doing the deed on those days.
As far as the donor cycle goes we have discovered a few things ….and have some decisions to make. There are two types of agencys, one offers pre-screened donors and they match you. The other lets you pick your donor but the donor has not had any screening. The first has a waiting list of six months and the other has no waiting list.
To be honest I have no idea if it is beneficial to have a pre screened donor or not. But I am swayed by the fact that I can choose my own donor. So hubby and I are leaning towards the agency that offers us that. Once my donor is chosen it will take six weeks to screen her….and if she passes…..a further six weeks to sync her with my cycle. So from selection I am looking at three months to the starting block.All in all I feel very comfortable with all of this.
The only thing that freaks me out is the &*%$# money. My mom has offered her entire bonus to us. Which really freaks me out…..and my stepfather will also help us. We will also put our bonuses in. It’s gonna be a lean christmas!
*sigh* On ward my time is nearly here.

Sian, can I say one thing about the money?
Yes it is $%#%^%$^ annoying that we have to shell out so much for what others get for free but at the end of the day it is just money. Once you hold your child(ren) in your arms you will not give it one seconds thought as to how much money was spent to get there…
I’m excited that your time is around the corner! Literally… Holding thumbs and praying for you!

What is a licky thingy?
I can’t believe that there’s something for TTC that I haven’t heard of/used!
Congrats on getting back on the horse.
Mmmm, I think I agree with your thinking about selecting your own donor, I definitley would also pick that route. As for the money, I agree with Sam, it won’t matter in the long run!
Good luck with trying naturally!!
I know the money is a big issue for all of us TTC, but like sam says its just money….
i know u prob feel bad about your mom giving her bonus to you, but remember she prob wants this grandchild so much and is also prob not giving the money a second thought…
i must say i may also have choosen to go with the agency where u can choose your donor…
good luck with everything!
PS i cant get that saliva ovulation thing to work either
Hi,
Definately will also choose my own donor! We also tried naturally for a few months, but now have given that up as well!! I have never tried the licky thingy!
The money issue sucks!! And a donor route is even more expensive!! Good luck!
I don’t mind paying, if only we could get a BFP! Hey!
Hey Honey
Once again thanks soo much, I had a great time chatting to you and we must definitely do it again!!!!
Can’t wait!!!
