hmmm...so Doug came across something that could be a great opportunity for me and us. It would help us out by giving us some extra money and it could help a family with infertility problems finally have the precious baby that they've always wanted. Well, he ran across a job posting for an infertility clinic in Jacksonville that is looking for people to be egg donors. It would include a lot of doctor's appointments and we would have to learn about injectable drugs and how I could give them to myself or Doug could give them to me. Then, I would have to go in for a minor operation to retrieve the eggs and I would walk away with $3000 and knowing that I was hopefully going to give a worthy family my eggs that would help them have a precious gift from God, a baby! I love my Ethan so much and I can no longer imagine life without him. I wasn't trying for a baby when I got pregnant with him, but God decided it was time for me to meet my child! I really feel that this is something that God has called me to do. I feel in my heart that He would like for me to do this for a family that has exhausted their options and are spending who-knows how much money to get this child. Even though the child would technically be an extension of me I feel like God chooses whoever His children go to. I'm hopefully going to get all the paper filled out by tomorrow (because there is a ton) and email it back to them and then they will get back to me for an STD test and a pap smear. It's all anonymous but after that testing and if everything comes back clear, which it definitely will since I've already been tested like 900 times while I was pregnant, a couple will get to look at my profile and see my questionairre that I fill out. If they choose me, then I will start taking another 3 weeks of birth control (or in my case the NuvaRing) and then I will go off of that and do 7-10 days of hormone therapy shots. After that is the minor operation to remove the eggs. If they like the eggs, I may be able to do multiple egg retrievals. So, I've got to get all the paperwork back and then the process begins...
