I don't think I'd be waiting around for the second opinion either. <br />Good luck, I hope it all goes awesomely.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-42824263318031183102010-03-01T18:44:49.260-06:002010-03-01T18:44:49.260-06:00Completely unfair!
As for the blood type, I don...Completely unfair!<br />As for the blood type, I don't think you should fear. Any IVF (whether using donor gamete/s or not) is implanting a foreign object into the uterus. And BTW, the fetus may not necessarily be an A- [here's a blood type calculator - http://www.biologia.arizona.edu/human/sets/blood_types/btcalcA_popup.html ]. Can tell you that when I sat and chose my donor (sperm, but I don't think it makes a difference), as there is minimal information here, I decided to try going by blood type. My concern was that I know almost nothing about this person, at least my child will have the same blood type as me (wasn't thinking of pregnancy, more if a medical condition arises later in life). I am A+ and so is the donor, but turns out my child can be A+ A- O+ O- ... <br /><br />And I agree with proceeding and not waiting for that second opinion. One thing is waiting a little over a month, but now with this new dr having to wait several months. urg! I just hope it will be irrelevant by the time of the appointment!Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344488411103420236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-496891789331642852010-02-28T19:02:44.518-06:002010-02-28T19:02:44.518-06:00Congrats on choosing a donor!

I'm sure if she's gone through the trouble of getting started she will carry through and YOUR little eggie will be ready and healthy for you! I am SO excited for you and can't wait for this to all happen!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212527264716019421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-65310612342984080542010-02-28T18:19:58.591-06:002010-02-28T18:19:58.591-06:00yay for choosing a donor! it's a big decision...yay for choosing a donor! it's a big decision. I don't get doctors who won't work with single women - many married women do it basically alone, but the doctor has no clue. It's all about your support network. we looked at adoption too and for us it came down to not being able to face the heartache of losing a child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
