Egg Update: August 2012

This egg donation process is frustrating.  As I told y'all earlier, I had to go in and have blood drawn.  A lot of blood.  I handled the needle and all a lot better than I expected I would.  When I left, the lab technician (or nurse or doctor or whatever her title was) told me to make another appointment as I left for one more test with them. I also wanted to talk to my donation coordinator because I had about a million questions for her.  At the front desk, they wouldn't make me another appointment, they said they would have to call me back to do that, and my coordinator wasn't there so she was going to have to call me too.  That was last Monday.  On Friday, I left for DC.  I decided to give them until Tuesday, when I would get home from my trip, to call me back.
On Monday, a full week after my appointment, my coordinator called.  So I had a conversation about eggs and lady bits while strolling down the street in DC.  We made an appointment for my remaining lab work and I asked some questions.  I wanted to know what was next.  Where am I in the process?  How long will all of this take?  Will I have to be re-screened each time I donate?  She told me that I am still in the screening process.  Once all of my lab work comes back I'll have to do a full physical (gross).    Once all of the results are in and they're sure it's safe for me to donate, they'll match me up.  She said the screening process can take months and really depends on how busy they are, etc.  Once I get matched, donating would take a little over a month.  She said there are some recipients interested in me so there shouldn't be too long of a waiting period between the screening and getting started with donation.
I really do want to do this.  Honestly.  But I am so tired of waiting.  I started this process in April.  4 months later, I feel like I haven't really done anything.  It's frustrating.  And I am by no means a patient woman.  I just don't understand why it takes so long to return my calls.  I'm trying to give them something that isn't exactly easy to come by and they act like keeping me informed is a burden.  I know that medical tests and all are necessary and sometimes they take a long time.  I'm not suggesting they cut corners.  But how hard could it be to pick up the phone and let me know what's going on?  Frustrating.
