Woot!
We are moving along quickly. J&L chose a new egg donor, which I might add, seems to be an excellent choice! She is a proven donor so that makes us all feel great about this attempt. And being as this is their final attempt, we are giving it all we've got.
I have my Official Calendar:
Continue active Birth Control Pills until 5/25
5/30 Baseline bloodwork & ultrasound to check uterine lining thickness and hormone levels
5/30 begin Estradiol (estrogen supplement) 1 pill 3 times per day
6/6 Bloodwork & ultrasound to check uterine lining thickness and hormone levels
6/13 Bloodwork & ultrasound to check uterine lining thickness and hormone levels

6/20 last pre-transfer bloodwork & ultrasound at clinic

I'm so happy to have my official calendar!!
Oh, and did you notice? No injections!!! No Lupron or PIO this cycle! That makes me super happy!
We are all so excited for this transfer! Great feelings all around that this is the one!
So counting down.....one more month til T-day!!!
We're feeling very positive about this attempt, and very relieved that Ramona doesn't have to have any more injections!
ReplyDeleteShe keeps impressing us with her bravery and has never complained about anything to us. Even our doctor says she's a star - a real trooper!
We have so much respect for the people who keep having IVF cycles, as the repeated blood tests are so uncomfortable. IVF is not for the faint hearted.
We're not allowing ourselves to be at all negative this time as we're doing everything right - so it has to work.
Please pray for us if you're reading this!
I believe You are the real troopers here! <3
Delete5 failed cycles and you're still remaining hopeful!
And you're right, this has to work!
We're just an ordinary couple who've worked hard so we could have a family and give them a good life.
DeleteFinding out we couldn't conceive naturally was an awful shock to us, but it's been a learning experience as we've met some inspiring people and it's reminded us just where our priorities really lie.
Giving up on having a family just hasn't been an option, and luckily thanks to amazing women like you Ramona who are prepared to be surrogates, we know we will eventually become parents.
When we finally have our family we will appreciate them so much - they will always be loved and cherished whatever life throws at all of us.
You know what!? You two are gonna be awesome parents! There is no doubt in my mind that you will become parents.
