Mock Cycle

I am going to document everything to keep track of everything for my trip to Prague. I was on progesterone for 7 days starting 7-11/7-18. Today I am crampy and a little af coming. So tomorrow is cd1. I am supposed to start estradiol 4 times a day on day 2. I haven't told my RE here about starting the meds on day 2 yet because I made an appointment for blood work and ultra sound on Mon. I just hope is supportive of my decision to go to Prague.

Onward and Upward

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I needed some time to mourn the loss of my eggs. I knew it was a crap shoot to try with my own eggs but is still hurt when I was told over the phone that I have no eggs left. I have cried more the last month than I have in years. I think I'm fine then something happens or someone says something and the water works start all over again. I have been looking into what next do I want to do egg donation? I don't have $25-35k to do this. Do I want to do shared donor program? I would be matched with another person to share a donors eggs. The eggs will be devided between us and the person that was on the list will get the odd number of eggs. If the egg donor doesn't produce more than 10 eggs then the primary person gets ALL the eggs and the secondary is out the money and has to start all over again. That cost $12k plus your own transfer and meds. Or do I want to go to Prague Czech Republic and do egg and sperm donor cycle. That costs 6600 eu or 8000 usd total. I have to pay for air, hotel, and food. I figured everything out to be about $10k usd. I would have to corrdinate my cycle with a person across the world and have my RE here monitor me then fly there before the transfer. I have been thinking out all the options for the last month. The egg donation is out because I don't have enough money for that. The shared donor I can just do it but the thought if there isn't enough eggs I would have to start all over again but I wouldn't be able to because part of my money is already gone and I have only so much to do this. Going to Prague is scary but exciting at the same time. I would be able to go more than once if I need to. I would have enough to go there 3 times I am realistic with my track record I know I will probably have to go more than once. I started with $9k to do this but I got a credit union loan for $10k that brings me a total of $19k. I never thought I would ever go out of the country in my lifetime. It is so close to Austria and Poland. I would love to go on excursions to see the world and get pregnant while there. I have been going back and forth between shared cycle here or Prague. I decided to take the leap and go to Prague.
I will be bringing my sister with me. She can carry my bags on the way home because I can't lift more than 5lbs. She will be there for me so I don't have to travel by myself. Her only stipulation is we have to go to Auschwitz camp on one of our excursions. I am so excited right now. I will be going to Prague in Oct.
