So in case you missed it I have been a donor two times and loved them both. I previously blogged about my 1st experience and am now moving on to round two.
Let me set the stage for you. I finished my first cycle in January (just in time for new years resolutions, mine being to workout and fit in my wedding dress) and my wedding was only 6 short months away.
As a side note you cannot workout while in cycle...only walking or swimming, which normally wouldn't have been an issue at all because I, like most woman, hate to workout!
So, like I planned, I started my workout routine and 2 months later was well on my way to fitting into my dream dress for my big day and that's when I got the call. Now if I was ready to donate again this would have been a happy call but I was not since cycling again would mean that I would have to stop workingout and it would really set me back. I politely declined and sadly hung up the phone. I remember not sleeping well that night...rolling around thinking about the woman that also received a call saying "sorry the donor that you really want would rather workout then help you start a family" LOL ...I know that's not what they told her but I couldn't help feeling like crap! I mean how selfish was I?
Again about a month later I received another phone call just to double check that I would not be donating again. I reassured them that I was interested in donating in the future but was working on my wedding and then wanted to expand my own family right away. I just didn't see anytime in there to cycle again and really didn't want to push my own dreams of another baby back for someone I did not know. Again...lost some sleep over my decision and even now as I type this hate how selfish I was being.
