Yet again I have fallen behind on posting. We are moving forward! I have been cycling since January 27th. So far everything has gone really smoothly. I think I have been effected by the Lupron a little more this time. I have been cranky and really tired. Good news is the injections are nothing now. The site of a needle will never faze me again.


Thursday we had an ultrasound to check my lining. It was a fluffy 11.4mm which is better then last time.

Transfer is in just over a week. Some time between the 1-3 most likely. We will hopefully know more tomorrow. Last I heard the donor was progressing slowly and she has 25 follicles so hopefully we will get a good number of eggs.

Not much else going on. Just pre-heating the oven. I have a good feeling about this time!

It looks like we may be moving forward. Things are looking good with the current egg donor. She is already a proven egg donor. Her previous donor cycle she had 25 eggs retrieved, 19 fertilized, 10 embryos still alive on day 5. We have a tentative cycle date as long as it is okay with the egg donor. I would start Lupron January 27th. Retrieval would be the very end of February and transfer would be the very beginning of March.


I can't tell you how good it will feel to get this thing going again. I looked in my box of needles and meds to see what I had left from the last cycle and was actually excited to be looking at them again. What kind of sick person looks at a box of needles and goes YAY!!!

It has been months since I posted anything. Not much happening on my side though. I have been not so patiently waiting for Y&S to find an egg donor. So far three have not made the cut because of low follicle numbers or they didn't pass the screening. They have a fourth that they are working with right now. So far she has passed the ultrasound and seems to have good follicle numbers, now we are just waiting to see if she passes the screening. I read somewhere that only 1 out of 4 egg donors will pass all screening.


This has to be so frustrating for Y. She just wants to be able to hold her baby and there are so many hoops to jump through. I hear woman complain about their pregnancy and how ready they are for it to be over and I just want to yell "There are so many woman who would do anything to be in your shoes right now, treasure it".

Tentative Calendar

About this blog

This blog is to be a journal for my hopeful journey into surrogacy. I will try to keep it up to date as I move forward.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother to some awesome kids, 3 of my own and one step son, a wife to one awesomely geeky husband, a daughter to two wonderful parents, a big sister, a auntie to one super cute nephew and adorable twin nieces, and a friend to those in need or who just like to talk. I am who I am, I work to better myself everyday but for the most part I am a disorganized, passionate, loving, positive, crazy, stubborn, sometimes irrational & moody woman.
