Calendar!

Our donor is finally cleared medically, and so I now have a calendar for our cycle!

It's pushed back a week from what our clinic initially proposed, due to the donor's schedule, but I guess that's par for the course when you're coordinating 3 schedules, not 2.

I take Humira today and two weeks from today (side rant: my husband's company's insurance sucks - I have to pay for the Humira out of pocket = $2000), and start Lupron on October 16th (ugh!) Estradiol valerate injections start October 24, and I have a monitoring appointment on November 5. Retrieval is likely between November 3-6, making transfer between November 8-11.

So ready to get this show on the road!

In answer to a few of the questions on my last post:

@Lindsey: we're working with our local RE - there's no advantage for us working with Dr Sher for a donor cycle, as my local RE has successfully managed my immunology issues in the past.
@Roccie: we have no agreements in place, but can contact her through the agency. She's open to the possibility of contact with children, but doesn't want to stay in touch with us in the meantime.
@Amanda: we had to meet her because she was born abroad, which means the FDA requires the donation be an open donation (in case of weird diseases, etc.) Most donations are anonymous. :)
