Hi Lulu, it was interesting to see that your preference is a known donor. I started off with that way of thinking a few years ago but have kinda gravitated the other way lately! Unless I could find a known donor where we could agree on pretty much 99% of everything, then I have my reservations. At least the other way I get to make all the decisions! LOL! Of course from the child's point of view I think it would be nice for them to know who their father is from day one. It is such a difficult path to go down sometimes and to know what the right thing is to do. Having said that, I do have a friend who has offered to donate BUT he lives 2 hours away and I think he is the one that is going to struggle not being closer to his child. It's never simple!!!
Gargy - good luck with the health/fitness program - sending you lots of healthy and positive vibes! I also think it's the control factor that worries me most about a known donor. It means putting trust in someone else when we are playing with pretty high stakes - which of course is a baby. But I guess we have to find the best way to manage whatever obstacles are thrown in front of us - because when we are holding that precious bub in our arms it will all have been worth it.
As for me and this current cycle, I'm in the TWW and going slowly mad! The Clinic want me to do a HPT on Fri 18th May - seems like forever away! I had my last pregnyl injection last night so now it's just wait and see if Mother Nature has done her thing!
I've decided to sneak a HPT on Tue the 15th - only coz it's my birthday and there is only ONE birthday present I want. I guess it will either make my birthday ultra special or I'll have the most miserable birthday ever!I know, I'm crazy!!!!!
Hope everyone else is well.
Marg
