Prior to getting pregnant, my sister, my SIL, supervisor at work, friend, and wife's BFF all had babies a few months apart from each other. Now, my best friend is in the same boat where I, her niece, supervisor, and several co-workers are all pregnant. She is having a really tough time with it all but I told her that maybe before you get pregnant you have to be tortured by everyone else being pregnant as a right of passage or something.

A watched pot never boils. A trip to someplace exciting or longed for seems endless until you arrive. You are now immersed in a journey of some kind, Leo, though it probably isn't a physical journey where you travel from here to there. It is something that you began way back when, and it seems to be taking forever to reach your destination - but that's only because you have such a deep longing for it. Stop concentrating on the time and the process itself, and try to enjoy the experience of it instead. You will get there.
Well I definitely hope that the above is true! I have to say that I'm feeling a bit encouraged today. We had our first e-mail conversation with our potential Known Donor yesterday and so far I'm feeling very optimistic about the possibilities. I sent him a draft of the donor agreement and of course we discussed STD and genetic testic all of which at this point he is good with. He unfortunately is unable to meet with us this weekend to discuss more as we originally planned and so it's going to be mid August before we can meet but we are having some good back and forth coversations and he seems to take this very seriously and understands his role as a donor. As I've mentioned before he is a longtime friend of a friend so at least we have someone to vouch for him. It's looking like at least September or October that we will be able to start this process if all works out but I have hope for the first time in a few weeks!

Have you had a HSG run? and all of your blood work? Maybe you said so above, but I didn't catch that.
I know it can be frustrating when people get pregnant after 1 or 2 attempts, but by and large, most people take much longer. It took us 11 attempts and the 11th try was IVF. Our hetero friends have taken a year or more. Most women on this forum have had it take about a year or more.
Hang in there. I know firsthand how heart breaking it is, but don't give up hope.

We meet out potential known donor next Sunday. I'm really hoping this arrangement works out. We are still trying to figure out if we want to try a cycle or two with him (considering we go through with the agreement) or if we want to go ahead and get the process going. I still am completely overwhelmed with the thought of opening that paperwork again....

So what we have decided is to only have pictures and updates sent to the donor but no physical contact UNTIL the child asks about him or the child turns 18 whichever comes first. Doing that keeps us open and honest with our child, but gives us enough time to establish our roles as parents without a third party involved. Also by the time the child is old enough to ask, they will hopefully be old enough to have a better understanding about what the donor's role was in bringing them into this world, but understand that we are his/her parents. So now we are giving the KD time to think about this, we will redraft the contract if he agrees and be on our way hopefully!

Good luck with using the fresh swimmers and laugh a lot if things are going a little crazy!
