BSC
Officially BSC! The test was negative. 
I think I better stop temping now...
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: BSC
Thanks!
We have turned in the paperwork for the DE. Now we are waiting to get some donors to choose from..... waiting, waiting, waiting.
I'm sorry it was a BFFN! I don't think you're BSC either.
What exactly is the process for DE? How do you get matched? How do you decide?

I'm sorry it was a BFN, but you are definitely not crazy for being optimistic. 1% is still 1/100 and a chance - not crazy.
NOT CRAZY!

Thanks everyone! I know I'm not really crazy.... well, maybe baby crazy. I am usually a glass half full gal & will probably stay that way.
Tania, at my RE, they give you a packet of information that includes quizzes about what you are looking for in a donor. Ex: "Is hair color important to you", "is previous donor important", etc. One asks you to describe you & your DH physical characteristics. Then they look in their data base of willing donors and match up what you are looking for. I know there are at least 2 other ladies at the same RE who are looking for donors right now (from TTC35+ on the bump) They say it can take 3 to 6 months to find a match.... Then they sync up her & my cycles on BCP and then we both do meds and they take her eggs, combine w/ DH sperm & transfer 2 good eggs to me...
I never even thought about these things. Thanks for sharing them with us!

That is really interesting! You'll have to forgive how naive I am about this whole process. This is really the first time that I've ever heard of this. I mean, I knew it was possible, I just didn't know the procedure.
3-6 months doesn't seem that long. I know it seems long considering what we go through, but it's definitely quicker than what a typical adoption would take. So, do you have to wait because it takes them forever to do this process or are you waiting for someone to donate eggs?
