Frustrated

So I've been matched my IFs and am now waiting to get a date for my medical work up. Well in order for that to happen I have to wait for their clinic to contact me to set up an appointment. They've yet to call or email me and it's been a week. Very frustrating! My cycle coordinator emailed me yesterday asking had I heard from the clinic yet and I told her no. She says hopefully I'll hear something by Tuesday but if not she will follow up with them.

It took then a week just to say they approved my medical records and is now it's taking just as long for them to call me to even set up an appointment. I feel like I'm just here and not hearing from anyone about anything. It sucks even more that I can't talk with my IFs yet until after the medical screening. I know they're ready to get this show on the road since they've had 3 girls not work out already.

Hopefully next week is the week I hear something from the clinic. Rant over! I'll update if something happens.

Matched!!!

So yesterday's match meeting started off kind of off. Our fabulous cycle coordinator scheduled us for a 1pm Skype meeting but when I logged on it was just her waiting. We started chatting for a little but then noticed it was way after 1pm so she decided to call them. 1 phone call, 2, 6, 10 but no answers. She kept calling and leaving VMs and I'm sitting there thinking I gave my hopes up for nothing.

After the 15th call or so one of them finally picked up and said they were just getting home and would it be ok try again in the next hour. I was fine with that. Besides it was getting late for them since they're in Paris. He also apologized so how could I say no.

Fast forward an hour later and my coordinator was already on but they were not. About 5 minutes later there they were, both smiling ear to ear and so was I. I mean, I was like a school girl talking to her crush!  We talked about a lot of things but the main thing they wanted to discuss was my view on termination and selective reduction. I told them what I thought and they were happy with it. I have no problem with neither.

Anyways, immediately after the video call I emailed our CC and told her I'd love to work with them. I was starting to get nervous because I didn't receive an email from her this morning with their decision but it turns out she was in a meeting most of the day and couldn't email to let me know that they LOVED me and told her last night. I'm so happy at this point. Our next step is finding out if their RE will accept me. Fi gets crosses that they do. I'll update as soon as I know!

Match meeting

I have a match meeting on Wednesday via Skype with a couple whose profile I was given and instantly liked! They're IFs from France and have been with OAC for two years now. They've had 3 surrogates and neither has worked out. Their first surro ended things in the middle of contracts and the other two didn't make it pass the medical clearance phase.

I'm actually nervous about it when the time comes because "just because." Every step has it's on phase of worry. I'm jumping the gun here because I'm already picturing making trip plans for the med screening, doing contracts and a transfer and we haven't even met yet, LOL!!

I hope they make a decision right after our Skype date like most IPs I've heard of so we can get the ball rolling. Like I said I love them already just from their profile. They seem like happy and super fun individuals. They're definitely photogenic too. I'll update as soon as I know something!!
