I can hardly believe the transfer is almost here, July 10th! It seems like the initial consultation was yesterday, although it was early April.
My first panic was about my age (45), but so many of you were helpful and reassuring about it.
Now, it is about it working, of course.
According to my nurse, for most of last year, there first time frozen success was 84%. We went with frozen for 3reasons. Cost, adult photos, and time. I am second guessing that decision now.
We do have a proven donor. I have no regrets about choosing her, and I do have a buyers remorse kind of personality. Before I met with the clinic's psychologist, my number one criteria was same ethnicity. After the appt, it ended up being last on my list. My donor and I share no ethnicity or talents, but I think she seems wonderful. I do wonder about the child's appearance should this be successful, but not a ton.
I am so nervous. I think I have been thinking this was most likely a sure thing, and that is how it was presented to me. I am not sure we can afford to do it again.
I am not upset about a 100% genetic connection. We didn't try on our own really. I told my husband, after looking at all the stats, that if he really wanted this, this was the best option. He has no children, and this is his dream.
We will be in Canada when they wanted to do the pg test. The trip was plannef before this was planned, and my k8ds would be devastated if we changed it. I don't want to poas while we are on vacation. It would make things really hard if we got a negative.
Thanks in advance for listening.
