Transfer news!

Hello all!

I am super excited at this point!  Sorry, I haven't updated in a while.  But, guess what....

TRANSFER is friday!!!!

I know, time flies.  Everything has been nuts the last few months getting the contract signed and all the blood tests and lining checks.  But, everything has been wonderful.  Lining didn't thicken up as quickly as they thought it would, but it is great now, just in time! 

So, we fly out early thursday and the transfer is at 10am on friday morning.  I'm hoping and praying everything else goes smoothly from here on out.

We're back at it!

Ok, its been a while, so I thought I'd post an update. 

Well, a few weeks ago I was emailing Tina, from TSE, about finding my IP's.  They had been having a hard time because my insurance doesn't cover surrogacy at all.  So, the IP's will have to pay out of pocket for supplemental insurance.  Which, I was told wouldn't be a big deal, but I guess in the end it really was.  So, I asked her if S and J ever ended up with another GS.  She said that was funny cause they just asked about me to.  Which I thought was crazy and so I wondered if they would just let me come back to them.  I really felt bad for leaving them in the first place.  They couldn't help what was going on with them.  She told me that they would be so excited, but probably couldn't afford the extra expense of the insurance.  Well, I was never doing this for the money and I have no idea why it never occured to me sooner, so I offered to drop the compensation to help with the cost of insurance.  I was so excited when she emailed me back about how excited S was!  She told me she was screaming through the phone! LOL

So, the last few weeks have been really busy with getting all the paperwork filled out for the health inusrance, life insurance and all the fun testing.  I got to have a little talk with the feritility doctor I will be working with in New Jersey and he seems really great. 

I was really excited last week when Tina informed me all the testing I'm having done right now means I hopefully only have to travel to New York for the transfer!  I couldn't believe my ears.  Not, that I don't want to go up there and meet them.  I surely do.  But, with the kids, the less time away, the better.  My parents aren't totally for this and to have them watching the kids too much in the beginning is something I was not looking forward to. 

So, I guess I'll end this posting with everything is looking great.  When I had to have the saline ultrasound on thursday morning I was really worried they would see a fibroid or something and the nurse told me I have the most beatiful uterus ever.  LOL  Weird comment, but made my day! 

God has definitely been answering a lot of my prayers lately and I owe all of this to him.  He walks with me everyday and makes me the person I am.

Changing IP's

Well, I guess the title says it all.  I spoke with Tina, from TSE, this week.  S is having problems getting eggs still.  She hasn't cycled since Decemeber and when she did her egg retreival then she only got 2, not very good quality, eggs.  So, I think its in my best interest at this time to look for a new couple.

This really makes me sad because they did seem like a really sweet couple and I was excited to meet them and carry a baby for them.  But, they have been stressed also recently with other personal issues, not related to the surrogacy and that will make it even harder to have a cycle and get some good eggs.  Shes only 37.  I'm not sure why shes having all these troubles and I truely do feel bad for them.

I am, however, looking forward to the future.  I'm going to talk to Tina on monday and hopefully will get a good idea as to when I will be matched with a new couple.  She has told me numerous times now, there are a few other couples who are ready now.  So, hopefully I will be POAS soon!
