I spoke to the Fertility Clinic today and I've moved up the list from number 25 to number 20. I was under the impression, well, they gave me the impression last year, that this going to Canberra thing and all that went with it, had been sorted out. Apparently, not so much...
My last conversation (last year) with one of the nurses was that I could use the same donor as I'd used the previous times and I wouldn't have to go through the process of choosing another baby daddy...which also involves having to have a Notary stamp and sign the forms. The last time I did it, it was a bit awkward because I had to explain what it was that needed his very expensive signature.
Apparently all the fertility clinics in New South Wales are in the same predicament, so there's no point in me looking to change Doctor/clinic. I was told I'm in the first batch and will be called, hopefully next week, with details of a new cryobank from which to choose a donor. Because of the new laws, the cryobank they were using doesn't meet the criteria. It is, oddly enough, a ok for the girls in the US, is one of the largest and regarded as one of the top sperm banks in the world...go figure.
I'll be going online in the not too distant future to internet "date" to look for an appropriate donor and I'll be going to Canberra for treatment.
And by the way, they didn't know about the Grazia story, so when I told the nurse, she promptly sent someone out to buy the mag...
