Last week we finalized the parentage agreement (contract) with our attorneys! We ended up signing on the dotted line on Thursday. It felt so good to have that part completed :)
I have been in contact with the fertility clinic and we are all set to start meds tomorrow! Then, the embryo transfer is scheduled for November 12!! EEK! I can't believe it's all.really.starting.
Tomorrow morning a mail order pharmacy will deliver ALL my meds for these next several weeks. I will be getting Lupron, Vivelle, and Progesterone. The viville will be a patch I will wear on my abdomen and the other two are injections. Tomorrow evening I will start with my first injection of Lupron. I will give myself one injection everyday for the next 3-4 weeks. I will stop my birth control pills on Saturday and then on Monday I have a followup ultrasound in Illinois.
I can't believe we finally have a date set! Just 26 days away!
I am planning to blog a lot more from this point forward. I will be blogging all the details of the surrogacy. I created this blog so my friends and family can follow along thru the journey, but also to keep this as a journal for any current or future surrogates out there. Surrogacy is a pretty complicated process. I found comfort being able to read about others experiences!
One thing to mention is, with an embryo transfer, there is no guarantees that I will become pregnant. So, I would love if you would take a minute to pray or send some positive thoughts about it. I know that both Frank and I would be devastated if this transfer failed... so please keep us in your thoughts this next month!
Thanks for reading!
