Becky, we are really happy with the donor we chose. He has a similar ethnic background as DH and actually has the same college GPA! LOL their childhood pictures are really similar and he is the same blood type, height and weight as DH. He is basically the Californian version of my DH. They are going to do a fresh sperm harvest the same day as my egg retrieval, so I'm assuming we will find out that day if he has any sperm or if they are going to use donor.

April, IVF is going slow, uneventful so far. I'm on day 6 of stims and go tomorrow morning for my 2nd u/s and b/w since starting the stims. I def was not expecting to give myself as many shots as I have been, since I lost most of my right ovary in an appendectomy they have me on a protocol they use for women who respond poorly . I'm doing 525 of Gonal F right now, which compared to everyone else on the ttcMA board seems like A LOT! It also means I have 5 injections a day, but it will all be worth it to have a baby finally. I am pretty worried that I won't respond well, but then I think about how much Gonal F I'm taking and I wonder if thats even possible I guess I will probably feel like more is going on after my appt tomorrow.
