So there I was feeling selfish and at the same time completely justified in my decision. The wedding planning quickly swept me away again and within a few days I had long forgotten about the phone call from FCI. As the wedding inched closer and closer the stress of "how the hell am I gonna pay for this" really became almost overwhelming...(this might have been part of why I donated a 2nd time : ).
I think it was about a month before the big day that I received another phone call from the donor coordinator, Melissa Bradon, from FCI...I must say that we had a very good relationship my first go around and that's probably why she felt that she could call me and plead the case of the patient. It was in this phone conversation that I found out the previous phone calls were for this same patient and my heart fluttered a little. I felt like this was my chance to make this right since I had been feeling so crappy about saying no the previous two times. She mentioned that the patient said she "had to have me"...talk about flattering...There are literally hundreds of girls out there willing to donate their eggs and she wanted MINE, it really is a great feeling! I am not gonna lie, by the time we hung up the phone my mind was made up, I was doing this, but said "Let me check with Kevin and I'll get back to you." Kevin, my fiance, took a little more convincing, but gave into my wishes and we were ready to get married, honeymoon, and start the hormone injections again!!!
