I very apologetically told them basically the same thing I told you. I said I had agreed so quickly because I really cared about the recipients and their desire to have a family, but after a week of considering it and being full of anxiety, I knew that I was mentally and physically incapable of enduring another cycle. I said I really struggled to decide this, that I knew it would cause a lot of heartache, but I felt that I should back out. </p> <p>They didn't contact me for 4 days. Then today, they called. They talked to the recipient family this morning. The recipients said that it was perfectly ok to back out, that it was a long shot anyway, that I was a wonderful human being, that every day they thought of the wonderful gift I'd given them, and that having an only child was perfectly ok. </p> <p>I cried with relief. I would have been relieved to not do this cycle no matter what, but knowing that I hadn't completely crushed a family I've never met but still care about makes me feel much better. As of today, my profile has been officially retired at the clinic, so I won't be getting myself into a situation like this again.</p><br />So I'm retired. That's great. This is a dramatic close to an important part of my life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-51263079475745078532007-06-20T08:02:00.000-07:002007-06-20T08:22:31.501-07:00I talked to hundreds of people...Tertia <a href="http://www.tertia.org/so_close/2007/06/a_letter_from_a.html" target="_blank">did a post for me</a> about my situation.<br /><br />The comments were very supportive coming from both sides. Of course, the negative ones are a bit hard to take. A number of people said I should have thought more about this before agreeing. The thing is, I had been considering doing another donation. I was struggling with it because of all the reasons that make me so reluctant now, but I had been considering it in the abstract. When the clinic called, I had two impulses. First was that I had been considering it, so I could probably handle it. The second was that I basically had no right to deny these people a full genetic sibling to their first child. If the clinic hadn't mentioned that part of it when we talked, I probably would have said no. Even going into this with some reservations, I had no idea my reaction would be so strong after agreeing. Even as I debated the posibility of another donation in my head, I never thought I would have this kind of anxiety.<br /><br />I think toward the end of the last donation, I realized a few things. First, I am really terrified that my family will find out about this. I can see it ruining a relationship there. This is my decision, not their business, and I feel fine keeping it from them. I just want it kept. The other much stronger problem is that one of these children/parents might try to track me down. My anonymity in this process is the absolute most important thing to me. Just the fact that there are some documented records out there that could reveal this information is awful to think about.<br /><br />So I still don't know what I'm going to do, but I guess I'd better hurry up and make a decision.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-6710825761109338692007-06-19T06:45:00.000-07:002007-06-19T06:49:01.219-07:00Very very stressedThe fertility center called last week and asked me to do another donation. I would have said no right off - I am very busy with work, I need to run to keep my sanity, and after the weeks of sobbing with the last one, I know that it will really mess me up. My ex husband who was so supportive is also not here now, so I'll be completely on my own.<br /><br />But the couple are people who were recipients previously. Their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">FET</span> failed and they want another donation to have a sibling of the child they had from my first donation. I felt like I couldn't say no to that.<br /><br /><br />Every time I think about this cycle, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">seized</span> with anxiety. A deep physical reaction. Everything in me is screaming "no, not again" except for this sense of moral obligation. The cycle is scheduled for October. I just don't know what to do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-22026517083638199642007-04-12T20:28:00.000-07:002007-04-13T12:39:15.901-07:00Introduction<span style="font-weight: bold;">Donor #12543</span><br /><br />age: 28<br />height: 5'9"<br />weight: 130 lbs<br />build: athletic<br />hair: brown<br />eyes: green<br />race: caucasion<br />religion: catholic (not practicing)<br />ethnic background: Italian / Irish / American Mutt<br />intelligence: superior<br />education: doctoral degree<br />marital status: married<br />children: none<br /><br />successful egg donations: 6<br />children I have helped other families have: approx. 10-15<br /><br />So was my profile after my last egg donation, a process that ran from April 2003 to October 2005. For those two and a half years, donating was a big part of my life. It was immensely rewarding, but also emotional and stressful. It was a constant as I went through a doctoral program, a marraige, and a struggle to establish my life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-27429258904335918782007-04-12T20:11:00.000-07:002007-04-12T20:28:04.504-07:00The BookI've decided to take some next steps toward writing this book. It will be a bit of a side project, since I know publishing that type of book will be a challenge. In any case, I'm going to start posting a bit more here with little attempts at sections that might go in there.<br /><br />I want it to be funny and insightful. I'd like it to answer all the questions that people ask me through email. If there is something you'd like to see, let me know. If you don't like something I post, please please say so.

Since she didn't leave an email address, I want to make sure she sees this reply:<br /><br />Hi, Cass,<br /><br />Yes - you have Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS). This happened to me on my first cycle, too. You can read about it on an earlier post: <a href=http://eggdonor.blogspot.com/2004/09/2-days-post-retrieval-about.html target=_blank>http://eggdonor.blogspot.com/2004/09/2-days-post-retrieval-about.html</a>.<br /><br />Your clinic should have had you come in and they should be checking you frequently. When this happened to me, I had to go in every day.<br /><br />There isn't a lot they can do unless it gets REALLY bad and then you go to the hospital. What you can do is to intake a LOT of salt. I literally was drinking grainy salt water, eating rice swimming in soy sauce, etc. That helped it go away. All together, I gained 17 pounds in 3 days and it took about 2 weeks for me to go back to normal.<br /><br />I was so scared. I cried and completely freaked out. I know how scary this must be for you.<br /><br />Try the salt and what your clinic recommends. If it gets to the point where normal breathing hurts or is difficult (that's how it was for me), insist that they bring you in and do an abdominal sonogram to see if it's getting worse. If you need to just talk about it or if you have questions, email me at eggdonor@gmail.com.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1140415680676976772006-02-19T22:07:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:50.327-08:00Offtopic - Word CloudI made this word cloud from this blog.

Some are for documentaries, some for articles, and some for radio/tv. I've also had a lot of great feedback about the blog, and it's made me consider writing a book.<br /><br />I've written a couple books, but they were textbooks so it's different. <br /><br />My hesitation is that I'm not really sure what the point would be. Should I approach this as a memoir type thing? If so, I don't know if it would work because there isn't really a conflict or a climax, or even a good ending. I could write about the life conflicts and the path from starting to this break I'm taking, but I'm not convinced that it's compelling. Would I write it as an informational book? If so, I hesitate because I'm not a medical doctor and it's not like there is a large lay-audience who are egg donors (as opposed to, say, infertile couples doing IVF).<br /><br />What do you all think? Do you think there is even an audience for this sort of thing?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1139906028977081712006-02-14T00:26:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:50.183-08:00Things to EnjoyThere are some things I really enjoy about the donation process, aside from the whole gratification of helping people and such.<br /><br />I really like the retrieval. I usually don't go to bed before 4am, but I love getting up all early when it's dark out and driving to the clinic on the Beltway with no traffic. I love stopping at the drugstore before I get to the clinic to buy a card for my recipients and to browse around when no one is there and nothing else is open. I love getting TO the clinic when the first staff members are arriving - it makes them seem so much more human. <br /><br />Those little footies with the treads on them are surprisingly warm, too. The blanket they put on me in the operating room is nice and warm. I feel very secure strapped in. I adore the anesthetic. I love that feeling of drifting off to sleep with nothing on my mind, and waking up from it. I love the ginger ale that they give me when I'm in recovery. <br /><br />I love sleeping on the drive home, druggedly making my way up to collapse in bed, and sleeping until 2 in the afternoon. I adore the big sandwich I always make for myself when I get up because I'm starving and it's so good.<br /><br />I realize this all makes me very odd indeed. "Oh sure," says the Egg Donor, "I love elective surgery."<br /><br />However, I am currently enjoying the lack of shots, my normal sized ovaries, the 2 days periods thanks to my fabulous new birth control (Mircett - I highly recommend it), and no migraines during my week off the b/c (also thanks to the special estrogen pills you take on the off week with Mircett). I am REALLY enjoying the intense running and traveling I can do without any restrictions on my schedule.<br /><br />But I do - I miss the retrievals. We'll see how things work out toward the summer to do another one.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1139552498614430962006-02-09T22:15:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:50.099-08:00My Doctor did IVFQuite unfortunately, I developed yet another UTI last week. I bopped over to an urgent care clinic to get some antibiotics for it, and a week later I wasn't sure that I was totally over it. I haven't seen a regular GP doctor for years since I spent so much time at the fertility clinic. I was lucky enough to find one affiliated with Johns Hopkins who is close and was able to fit me in quickly. <br /><br />I had been hoping for a female doctor, but the guy I got was great. He was really funny, didn't talk down to me, and generally did all the other nice things doctors do. When I was giving him my history and I mentioned the cycles, he was quite interested. I started explaining that I was taking a break because I'd done six or seven in a row, and started to tell him the process of each one. I know doctors are educated medical people, but I've been to many who don't understand what you do as an egg donor. He stopped me, though, and said "I know. We went through infertility." At first I was mortified, thinking that he thought I was talking down to him about something he learned in his second year of med school. However, he clarified that he and his wife had gone through infertility treatments, though they didn't use donor eggs. <br /><br />We had a nice chat about the process. His wife, by the way, is a machine. I think he said she produced like 28 eggs during her IVF! I guess they can stimulate you more if you're getting your own eggs, since you're taking the risk for yourself. Anyway, I thought it was quite cool to have someone to talk to who had gone through the process and who could speak intelligently about it medically (not just "I had a kid that way"). <br /><br />This doctor is a keeper. I hope I don't have to actually go in for anything, but when that inevitably comes about, I won't mind so much.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1135125954629102972005-12-20T16:43:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:49.961-08:00Movie Time 3: Invasion of the SpermWell, this is a bit weak to call an "invasion", but here is a sperm (the tiny squiggly guy in the needle) being injected into an egg.

This month, I'll be sharing some of those with you. Movies are in Quicktime format.<br /><br />To start, here is a clip of my last sonogram before the retrieval. Check out all those giant follicles! What they are doing here is measuring the dimensions of each follicle. Once they are big enough, the retrieval comes. <br /><p><br /><a href=http://geocities.com/donor_egg/sonogram.html target=_blank><br /><img src=http://geocities.com/donor_egg/Picture3.png><br>Click here for the movie</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1132847139240903932005-11-24T07:35:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:49.760-08:00Conflicts and EvolutionOk, so this isn't strictly an egg donation post, but you all can appreciate what I'm saying.<br /><br />When I was a kid, I used to get urinary tract infections (UTIs) all the time. They were really severe and I had one almost once a month. Eventually I had surgery that fixed the problem. However, I remain acutely aware of all the symptoms and problems. Last Thursday I started feeling a little weird and I knew one was coming on. So on Sunday, when I was at my parents' house, I finally admitted I had one and went to the clinic out here. They were very nice and gave me a prescription for 5 days of antibiotics.<br /><br />Antibiotics for me mean two things: 1) the infection gets cured and 2) I get a yeast infection. So my nether regions are a mess. I also tried to pretend the yeast infection didn't exist until yesterday when I broke down and got a one day treatment. <br /><br />I hate these because the ointment eventually leaks out and schmears all over everything. So last night before I put it in, I was desperately looking for some sort of maxi pad or panty liner at my parents' house. My mom was asleep so her bathroom, the obvious choice, was not accessible. I couldn't find anything anywhere. Eventually, I just had to bite the bullet, so to speak. <br /><br />When I woke up, thankfully, I hadn't leaked all over my underwear. I went to the bathroom, wiped off what was waiting to leak out, and went for a run. There was quite a mess from that when I got back, so I showered, changed, and had an advantageous moment to run into mom's bathroom. There, I found some pads.<br /><br />Let's talk about pads for a minute. I get the skinniest ultra super megathin pads that exist. They are hardly different from a panty liner, and that's how it should be. I marvel at whatever scientific advances allow for these wonderful, thin products to be absorbent and effective. What a difference from the three-quarter-inch thick slabs of cotton and paper that I had to use in Jr. High and High School. Did the really thin ones exist then? I don't think so...I only discovered them in college. I just assumed that every woman had come over to the glory of the super ultra micro thin pads and that the thick ones available at the stores were...hmm...left overs or for weird hickish women who fear change or maybe for use in other tasks (kitchen clean up or something). So imagine my horror at finding half a package of these nightmares in my mom's linen closet - exaggerated by the fact that I had to actually use one.<br /><br />Horay for the evolution of feminine hygiene products.<br /><br />Boo for my dueling infections.<br /><br />Horay for modern medicine that lets me fix them both at once.<br /><br />And here's a thanksgiving toast to healthy nether regions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1131772650722284042005-11-11T21:13:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:49.689-08:00Birth ControlI'm definitely going with this donation time off. I'm thinking about alternatives to the pill I'm on now. It gives me headaches when I come off. I had considered the Mirena IUD after seeing it mentioned on <a href=http://tertia.blogspot.com target=_blank>Tertia</a> and <a href=http://alittlepregnant.com>Julie's</a> blogs. However, the comments scared me away enough, especially since it's supposed to be more painful if you haven't ever had kids.<br /><br />So I'm thinking about Seasonale, the pill where you only get a period once every 3 months. Have any of you tried this? I don't have a problem remembering my pill every day, and the act of taking the pill makes me feel like I have a little more control over everything. <br /><br />Opinions? Input?<br /><br />p.s. thanks to all of you for calming me down over the period thing. It made me feel so much better (your comments...not the tissue...)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1130706279227796892005-10-30T12:59:00.000-08:002006-11-08T17:28:49.616-08:00WTF is THAT?! Tissue?!I need help/advice.<br /><br />Warning: details follow.<br /><br />Oh, man. So late last night I my period started. This is the first one since the retrieval, so it's usually pretty nasty. It was just a bit of bleeding last night. Today was really the first day.<br /><br />Here's the freak out: I was in the bathroom and I looked down and on my pad was a piece of tissue. Literally, I looked at it and went "oh my god". So I had to examine it. It wasn't a clot - I do get clots, especially after a retrieval, and I know what those are. This had some blood on it, but it was skin like.<br /><br />So some googling around suggests that this was normal endometrial tissue and that These Things Happen and that I Shouldn't Be Alarmed. Has anyone had this happen to them? It freaks me out to have fleshy parts of my inside ending up outside....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1130037549638083032005-10-22T19:56:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.544-08:00Post-RetrievalI haven't posted much since the retrieval because things were busy. I started running again after about a week (I know, I know. I should have waited 10 days at least). The 2-3lbs of water weight went away after about 3 days. <br /><br />Thursday was 2 weeks-post retrieval. I can still feel some things in there, and I need to keep reminding myself that I'm still recovering. <br /><br />The only down side - the last birth control pill of this pack will be Wednesday. I'm running a race on Sunday, which should be right in the middle of the first-period-after-retrieval carnage. This happened last year, too, and I almost had to cut a race short. <br /><br />In other news, Cat Ashworth said she will send some videos of the sonogram and such for me to post on my blog (I need to email her back - I just found that message and saw I never responded). So that should be fun and interesting.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1129040046181934492005-10-11T07:12:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.476-08:00DoneI should have posted earlier. The retrieval is done and it went well. The anesthesiologist took care of me, and I didn't have any problems after retrieval. I was even able to go to class Thursday evening.<br /><br />Now, about 5 days later, my innards are still swollen and sore, but I can feel them getting better. I have other things to post, but will do that soon. V. busy now...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1128484890006631482005-10-04T20:41:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.399-08:00FINALLYI told them today "I don't care what your tests show. I'm taking that damned shot tonight and showing up for a retrieval on Thursday whether you want me or not!"<br /><br />But the threats (serious as they were) turned out to be unnecessary. When I got the call, I quickly took the phone off the hook so they couldn't call and change their minds and that shot went in right at 8:30 tonight.<br /><br />Good news is that my favorite doctor will be doing the retrieval, and he has also said he'd talk to the anesthesiologist. He was pissed when he found out how hard the recovery was last time. He will be a good guy to have on my side.<br /><br />An interesting note: my eye is twitching and has been for a week. I don't have eye twitches. The only other time this happened was right before I defended my dissertation. That was, coincidentally, also right before a retrieval. It could be that I have a bunch of stress now like I did then (and I'm always doing a cycle, so it's not shocking that they match up), but I wonder if the twitch is actually a side effect of the lupron or the stims...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1128430046152627752005-10-04T05:35:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.327-08:00My DreamI had a terrible night last night. I was crying when I tried to go to bed because I am so freaked out about my retrieval now being ONE DAY from my family's visit. The family doesn't know about the donation, and this is WAY too close for comfort. I am also terrified that they will try to push it off another day. I *can't* do the retrieval Friday, and while I know it is 99.9% sure that it won't get pushed off, what a mess that would be. I'm going to make it very clear to them today that it will NOT be possible on Friday.<br /><br />Anyway, I dreamt that I was watching TV and my recipient family was on there being interviewed. They said "Well we were ready to get the eggs on Wednesday, but now we've pushed it back to Thursday. We might even do it Friday." And the interviewer goes "Well why would they keep pushing it back like that" and the woman responds "There is something wrong with her estrogen levels. Frankly, the doctors think she might be intentionally sabotaging the cycle because she doesn't want to do it." My dreaming self was mortified that the clinic would think that I would intentionally do anything to ruin a cycle. I kept wondering how my estrogen could be low and that maybe I had been using the gonal-f pen wrong the whole time. <br /><br />Then, starting at 4:20, I woke up about every 20 minutes. By 7:30 I was staying awake for 10 minutes at a time. So at 8am I gave up. This is SO unlike me to be up at this hour. I feel very surreal.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1128388853210580272005-10-03T18:12:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.261-08:00stupid estrogenI had SIX GIANT FOLLICLES today and was all set to take my gonadotropin at 8:30 tonight and when I got home I had a message that said no, not tonight. NOT TONIGHT?!!? I HAVE SIX GIANT FOLLICLES!! That's FOUR MORE than I need. The only thing that can be going on is that my estrogen levels were wrong. <br /><br />I sobbed and sobbed. I am so tired of this and my life and schedule just keeps getting more difficult as they put this off. > : []Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1128208427798560052005-10-01T16:12:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.190-08:00MiscalculationSomewhere I miscalculated. My retrieval definitely won't be Tuesday. Wednesday should be the day. This is a hell of a lot less convenient, but oh well. Today's sonogram went well. More details tomorrow.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1128007574904093152005-09-29T08:23:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.125-08:00Racing alongI can sort of feel the ovaries now. This is my 5th day of stims (though I haven't taken the 5th shot yet). My sonogram today was fine, though I had to get a cervical culture. That sucked. I'd do 10 sonograms before I'd do one of those.<br /><br />I asked if I could run today and they said no, but it probably would be ok but we would say no and you shouldn't. So I took that as a "we can't tell you that you should because there is a bit of a risk, but really you'll probably be fine". So I'm going. This will certainly be my last run until like 10 days post-retrieval (if i can wait that long).<br /><br />They did say that I have lots of follicles, so yay me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672606.post-1127790694014916022005-09-26T19:17:00.000-07:002006-11-08T17:28:49.045-08:00The end is nearNews from the clinic today that the recipients who are lined up for the donation that was to follow this one are not going to continue. I don't know if they got pregnant, don't have the money, or what, but the reality is that the cycle is cancelled. That means next week, I'll have the harvest on Tuesday, and then I'm done. <br /><br />I'm relieved. Of course, there was no way I would have pulled out of the cycle I was picked for. But I will be so glad to have this finished. I feel like I'm getting my body back.<br /><br />Stims are going well. I'm really tired, but I don't think it has anything to do with that - It's probably just dealing with the divorce and all the other issues in my life. The pen-inject-into-repronex worked well today. That should mean smooth sailing for the rest of this week.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
