The beginning of something great

A little background...

In June of 2009, I quit my job of 10yrs to be a stay at home mom to my 2 beautiful children.

About 2 months ago while I was in the middle of searching for an "at home job" on the local Craigslist Website, I came across an advertisement for egg donation. Curious about what it entailed, I checked out the "Egg Donation Agency's" web site. When I came to the part about abstaining from intercourse, I thought to myself "Yeah, right. Ty would have a cow" and I closed the site without researching any further. A few days later, after paying the bills, Ty and I were talking about our finances. I mentioned to him that I had been looking for jobs I could do at home, so I could still take care of our kids, but I was not having any luck. Then, for some strange reason, I told him I had even looked into donating my eggs. After showing him the web site, and the compensation we would get, he told me to 'go for it'
The next day I started the paperwork to become a donor. It took about a week and a half to fill out the 30 pages, mainly because I had to call relatives for medical background and I was still researching the whole "egg donating" process. It was some Super-detailed stuff. I submitted my paperwork to the "Egg Donation Agency" 3 weeks ago, in return they then sent me legal stuffs to sign and send back before I would become an available donor on their website. On June 28th, I got confirmation that all my paperwork was received and I was now in their database. On July 6th, I received a call saying that I was matched...
So...I'm super excited! I was not expecting to be matched quite so soon. From everything I've read, it normally takes 4-6months to be matched.

The following blog posts will be about my personal "egg donating" journey.
