5 EGGS!!!!

We only got 8 eggs from the donor and out of that 8 only 5 were viable BUT all five fertilized!! The eggs look really good according to the RE and it will defenitly be a 5 day transfer! I am so freaking excited! In less than24 hrs I will be on a plan to DC!!!

We are set!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we are a go!! The flights are booked, the ED had her retrieval today. I am still waiting to hear how many eggs they got.. waiting stinks! I started my prometrium today, all is well so far!! I am getting VERY excited. I looked at all the bags all packed and ready to go and it FINALLY hit me that I am going to my first transfer, and hopefully last for at least a year! I am really hoping everything works out great!! As I sit and think there are so many what ifs in my mind but I try to not think too much about them casue if I do thenI would get NO SLEEP!! So our flight leaves Denver @ 11:30am on Sunday! I just can't wait!

Well I have not updated in a WHILE!! LOL Well it is only ONE more day till July!!!!!!!!!! I am excited but nervous at the same time. I found out yesterday that the guys ED was not stimmimg as well as Dr. S would have like and she only had 8 follicles 6 were big 2 were small so he is only expecting 6 eggs. She has another round of blood work and sono tomorrow (Wednesday) so I am hoping the other 2 are big and maybe she might even have some more, but most importantly is that we get good strong eggs and they all fertilize and we make it to a day 5 transfer. I know I am asking a TON but I really want this to work for the guys. I am super excited about the transfer and what it will be like. I won't lie and say that I am not just as excited about going to DC to see the guys and the city, it will be my first time there so that alone is exciting. So we shall here tomorrow about the donor and if we have a set transfer date or not, so fingers crossed! So if all goes well then Thursday will be my last day of Lupron and then Friday I start my prometruim 3x a day!!

Time for an update!!

Well nothing much had happened beside I have started on my meds, which are Lupron and Estrace. The Lupron needle is VERY small and easy to do by myself. The transfer is about 27 days away!! I can't believe it but it is actually coming so fast! I have to figure out where the dog is going to go though. I am really hoping everything goes well with the ED and she stimms well and has no issues or complications. I have my first lining check on Thursday plus a blood draw, I hope that everything is right where it is supposed to be!

WOOOHOOO AF came early this morning and I am just so happy about that..LOL who would have thought I would be happy my period came. I have heard so many stories that surrogate are supposed to get their period and I don't know if it is nerves or excitement but their period is late and throws off the transfer dates... So i was very happy when she came just 1 day after I expected her to.. So I have my VERY FIRST official cycle appointment tomorrow with Dr. Trout!! I met her last October when Marisa came out here. She was VERY nice and warm not like most Dr's now a days. Tomorrows appointment is so they can check my lining and make sure it is doing what it is supposed to do so my fingers are still crossed for that. If all goes well I start Lupron tomorrow night!! and then Estrace on Friday! I am so excited...

So Marisa and her hubby went to St. Martins for a week long vacation which they DESPERATELY needed. She had become almost like a sister to me. We talk about 3-4 time per week and it is very nice that we have built this bond. Well she said she got me a turtle charm for good luck for the transfer!! She is such a doll it is just crazy. She is going through some things that I am very worried about for her with her journey. I just think that people see an opportunity to take advantage of her in such a time of desperation and heartache and it makes me sick to my stomach. All I can do is pray she makes the right decision and that God protects her no matter what decision she does make.......

Well here's to getting the OK tomorrow and actually really getting this ball rolling!!

MY MEDS CAME!!!

OK I am so OVER THE MOON HAPPY it is crazy I just got my meds and I am happy. I never in my life would have thought that I would be happy to to get a box full of needles and medicine that may just make me cranky....LOL I have also thought about bringing my puppy Zeus with me to the transfer. I think I am going to be staying with the guys so I have asked them and am just waiting to hear back from them. FINGERS crossed!!

Transfer dates!!!!!

Well I finally heard from the clinic last week and I now have a estimated transfer date of July 3-5th!! I am so excited but at the same time a little disappointed because K may not be able to go with me, so I most likely will be traveling by myself....I am sure that the guys will be very nice and accommodating but I just wanted a travel buddy..
