hey,
dont be nervous - it will be fine - they are very straightforward and it is good to get straight back into it - Lord knows we get enough waiting in this game!
I went onto diui as i dont seem to have any infertility issues myself and so iui should suffice. If it doesnt work after a few more goes though i will try an ivf round to throw everything at it - we are getting very weary by now.
The counselling appt/s (might take 2 to get through their checklist) were fine - you just need to show that you are accepting of the situation & they do strongly encourage "telling the child" which we are fine with.
i dont think i actually had an appt with the donor coordinator - just spoke to her over the phone & email. She is really nice though & emailed and then mailed us details. We selected based on trying to get a match to my husband - not really that easy as there arent many to pick from to be honest. We also went for good medical background and the overall vibe we got reading their profile & reason for donating. You dont have to select one if none feel right - they send more profiles of available donors to you & then if still none suit you then you might need to wait until more become available. Im not sure i they can access a national bank or not - you can always ask.
So as soon as you have completed the counselling & selected a donor you are happy with - you can get started.
All the best for tomorrow - think of lots of questions tonight to write down & take in with you
