matching complete

Good news received today!

The matching person at SGF reached out to B/P to say that the matching process has been completed! 

Congratulations! I wanted to inform you that your match with shared SGF donor # 0217-16, in the 1:3 program, is now complete. You will be the Secondary recipient in this match. 

Patients selecting an egg donor in the shared programs are assigned a position once the match is complete: primary, secondary or tertiary.  For example, in the 1:2 and 1:3 shared programs, position assignments are determined based on the following criteria: 
• Previous IVF and/or attempted donor egg cycles at Shady Grove Fertility
• History with Shady Grove Fertility (duration)
• The timing of the donor selection (if all other criteria are equal) 
If there are a sufficient number of eggs retrieved to allow each recipient to receive at least four mature eggs, then all recipients will continue with the cycle. If, however, there are insufficient eggs produced, the first recipient has priority over the second, and the second over the third. 

I will be notifying the team that your match is now complete. Your nurse will be in communication with you in the next week to outline the next steps in preparation for your cycle. 

Best wishes for a successful cycle! 

This means we are on track to go!  I expect to receive an email from our nurse later this week (she is off on Wednesdays) to outline our specific next steps.  From what I understand, they first reach out to the donor and get her cycle schedule and then determine the carriers' schedules from there.  I am so excited and actually a little nervous.  All of this hard work is coming to fruition!!
