At last, the generous-hearted, wonderful Donor signed her consent forms. I went to see the Doctor this morning to make sure all my paperwork was dotted and crossed. He told me she's ready to begin.
WOW, FINALLY.
I wish I was as excited for me as my family and friends are. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited and a bit overwhelmed. You've got to understand, whilst I haven't been down this path before, I've been down others that have all resulted in me being on this one. Which is great, but the emotional exhaustion that comes after every failed attempt, is awful. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I know that by using an egg donor, the odds of me actually getting pregnant and having a BABY are far higher and for that, I'm ecstatic. I suppose I'm a bit numb.
I WANT RESULTS
In four days I begin spraying Syneral up my nose 3 times a day. I'm going go have to remember to take it with me whenever I go out. Thankfully it's not as anti social as having to go to a public bathroom to give myself a shot. I'm refraining from illegal drug references as nothing I could come up with, was remotely witty.
After the doctor, I went to the clinic to let them know what I'm doing and to look out for my anonymous donor (she'll be the one wearing the hat and Groucho Marx glasses and moustache). The nurse filled me in on what i need to do over the next couple of weeks and then told me that even though I'm using an egg donor, because im carrying it, the baby will still have my cells. It may have the donor's features, but will have my characteristics.
I love that she said that.
The hormones make me pile on weight, no matter how healthily I eat or how much exercise I do, so I'm going to do a three day cleanse next week. Oh, also, I'm moving in twelve days, so lots of good things are happening. I'm not cooking next week because I'll be packed up and cleaning my apartment, so it's a perfect time to juice. It all gets delivered and there's no mess! I'll feel great after it and can move into my new phase of life feeling light and cleansed.

Oh dear the above post makes me sad, a 58 year old lady pregnant. That is tragic and so sad and utterly selfish. Nicki is no spring chicken, please dont give the woman false hope and delude her. She is a middle aged woman who is in fact an old mother if she is successful. Good luck Nicky, i dont necessary agree with what you are embarking on but I wish you the best!.

You are a spring chicken! I can't wait to hear updates! You have two people here sending you all the positive energy we can through the international borders!!!

Sorry but she is not a spring chicken at 46. Why do women delude other women as well as themselves. Her body is soon to enter menopause if it has not already begun to. I find it sad and selfish that women feel they are entitled to children no matter what their age. Our bodies are not programmed to conceive and give birth to babies in our 40's thus the reason so many miscarry and so many babies born with abnormalities ( NOT ALL ) but many.

L & p , YOU MUST BE OLD DUCKS IF YOU THINK A 46 YEAR OLD WOMAN IS A SPRING CHICKEN. SHOWING YOUR AGE LADIES

I tend to agree with nn. Nicki is not classified as young and within the 'normal' age of pregnancy. Sure there is a slight hope her body can deliver but looking at the equation from a medical perspective this doesnt look likely. It certainly doesnt mean she cant try, but she is definitely not considered a 'young spring chicken' as quoted above and she is within a higher risk category. We put enormous pressure on our bodies at this age to carry and hold a baby when it is usually not normal for our bodies to be able to do this. Adoption is a great method for motherhood. This avenue should not be exhausted.
