My Pot of IF Gold

Yes, today I fell into my personal pot of infertility gold. At the moment, I am so amazed at my good fortune, I feel like I'm doing backstrokes through the gold coins with my lucky leprechaun standing by ready to hand me my pomegranate juice.

Because of a family connection, we have become the recipients of a cycle in which the RE will be donating his services to us.

Donating.

To.

Us.

After a five minute phone consultation with him this afternoon, he definitely thinks we should head towards donor eggs. Since FairyEggs is of the advanced maternal age of 33, {evil cackle} Dr. Leprechaun says she is not the ideal candidate. That kind of made me laugh because I can't think of many people that I would prefer to have donate. It made FairyEggs feel old, which she obviously is not! We will be having FairyEggs get her Day 3 FSH, estradiol, and resting antral follicle count from a local clinic. With AF coming soon for her, we should know the deets pretty soon. With this info in hand, Dr. Leprechaun says we can be headed towards our cycle in January.

Whoohoo!

Financially we will be responsible for the anesthesiologist ($575), fertility drugs (@$4k), and a few minor things. At the end, we should be at less than $6k.

We certainly never saw this coming. Since Friday night when we found out about the possibility, I think I have been holding my breath.

I'm very excited for my hubby to get home so I can share the news with him! Yes, I'm a bad wife and told you first!

Cheers and cartwheels!

xoxo

    I did, however, snort when I read that 33 was advanced maternal age. Humph.

    I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it... I know, I know, I know that this is gonna work for you! (ok, so I changed the words a little...)! I tried calling you back, but I'm sure you were on the phone telling family of your great news! I'm home all night tonight (but Housewives reunion is on, an the OC Housewives premier... between 8-10... so before or after would be best).

    I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it... (damn, now that song is in my head... but those are the only words I know- this could get annoying!)
