and just like that

The process has started. I was instructed to call the RE's office, the IVF coordinator to be exact, with my march cycle. I am not due for my period until sometime next week but I called her on Wednesday because next week we will be on the east coast again. She was out of the office on Wednesday, I missed her call on Thursday, and I didn't speak to her until Friday morning. We talked and it appears that I need to do my mock cycle...NOW. Well maybe not now exactly but with the cycle that is supposed to be starting next week. She asked if I could make an appointment in a few hours and I said, "uhh uhhh sure". We outlined the calendar and figured out when the donor would have her retrieval even. Yikes! Everything is just moving so quickly. I am still going to seek a second opinion and even if they recommend DE just like Dr C is, I will cycle with my current RE's office. I like them. I believe that it is cheaper than cycling in Boston. In a wild gesture of optimism I am moving forward until a different RE says, "STOP. You don't need to do DE. You don't even need to do IVF." I believe that Dr C is a good doctor and I believe that other competent doctors will come to the same conclusions that he has. Optimism. It feels good. In our talk with J, the IVF coordinator, she was quite good at filling me and Paul with optimism. Apparently they have had 100% success rates for all of their donor cycles so far this year. Yes, I realize that it is only March 3 and that isn't very far into the year but still it has to mean something, right? Something good...it just has to. We are filled with hope. We got an even better rate on our refinance. We are refinancing for a mere 20 years and we are going to make extra payments so it will be paid off in 15 years. I hope we aren't in this house for 15 years but it works for now. The ball is rolling folks. Let's just hope it rolls in the right direction.
