Okay, so I did an early pregnancy test today and it was BFN (big fat negative) so I think I may need to do the injectables. I am not looking forward to excessive bloating and nausea, but hey, it's for a noble cause right?
Nadia and I just spent our entire morning and afternoon trying to select another donor since three out of the four original donors we selected have retired!
We settled on a German, French dude, which may seem a bit odd since I am African American and she is Latina, but judging from the message board, this is someone who seems to be very fertile. At this stage in the game--round 4--I really need someone who is an open donor who can get me pregnant sooner rather than later.
So here we go again, but this time around I will have the pleasure of being pumped up on fertility drugs.
About Me
- Eva
- I am a thirty-something African American lesbian, queer, dyke with Caribbean roots in the hot pursuit of a pregnancy. I live with my partner, Nadia. About a year and a half ago the egg drop drama officially began. We had our very first visit with a reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Feelgood. And now I am waiting a few months before I start my first IVF cycle.
What is the Egg Drop Post?
This blog is about a woman who fell deeply in love with a woman eight years ago. It's about a feminist who never believed in tradition. It's about a child of immigrants who never believed in the American Dream. And it's about a daughter who never wanted to be a mother. The Egg Drop Post chronicles how dreams are conceived with blood, sweat, and tears through the sands of time. This is my story but it could be your story too. Like the eggs in an hourglass, these are the days of our lives...
