Egg Update

I got my blood test results back today. Everything's fine; no HIV, no Hep B or C, no syphilis, no mutations for cystic fibrosis. It's a short letter and it ends; "We are now in a position to proceed with egg donation, and will be in contact in the near future." Ahhhhhh! Yes! So. Fucking, Psyched.

Egg Donatoring

Just back from an 'implications' counselling session in the assisted conception ward of the local hospital.  It was a breeze, really pleased. I was like, 'Yep, I want to donate some of my eggs to help infertile couples and because it's the right thing to do.' The woman was like, 'Have you considered blah.' I'd go, 'Yep, I've considered blah...' We discussed risks to my fertility, what my family planning plans (?) were for the future (if I had any), how I'd found out about egg donation, what I knew of the process, how I felt about the possibility of a child contacting me in 19+ years time etc. It was actually a lot of fun and she seemed satisfied I'd thought about it in a lot of depth. I have. I wish I had a sketch to put under here. I'll add one at a later date. But basically - I'm one step closer to donating (some of) my eggs! Wooooop!
