Yeah I should know better being indian lol - we always joke about the real time and there's the indian time!
I got myself into a tizzy making up a story in my head! I'm normally not that irrational - I blame it on the hormones

Mouse - thanks for the info...I'm gonna call around. Sandranlg also mentioned ivfmeds.com being a good place o get your scripts from. They don't have birth control though so I've made an appointment with planned parenthood to see if I can score some BCP 
Sami99 - great reviews, makes me feel better about the choice, I would probably have momentary panic and then realize it's mexico and calm myself down, but still be sweating! We had a money transfer issue when we got married in Italy, I think we attributed it to the exchange rate fluctuating so frequently.

Hmm I never received a cell phone or many updates on the embryos. Just one via email on day 3.
Also I was told ISCI is included but if I wanted assisted hatching I would have to pay extra for it.
I was never told that if my donor didn't respond or if there isn't any embryo that they have frozen eggs.
Anyone heading there get it in writing what you get. I don't want anyone to go through what I did.

Sami99- You know I have told you congrats personal already but I thought I would jump on here and officially post it in the forum. You know how happy I am for you. I so please that you had great experience at FCC and your first cycle works. I know you missing the beach..hehehe.. Doing the happy dance!!!! Anyway if you don't see me on the forum much I will just email you. It's the end of the year so I am so business with work. Rapping up new tax laws, fraud protocol, etc.. the life of the government.
I am wishing everyone else best of luck- Happy Holidays to all.
