Transfer Cancelled

Hello to me followers and those who pop in from time to time so our transfer was cancelled on Thursday the embryos didn't survive the testing so my instructions are to quit all meds shed my lining and start over again. We also have to find a new egg donor as the current now former one will not be used again. Hold up before I go any further let me start over as there is a crisis that is missing from my illustrious tale.

Wednesday night 8:36pm- I get an urgent call and text message from my coordinator Nicole to call the agency owner asap, my mind is racing and I can't think of what has gone possibly wrong to warrant such urgency. I do as asked, and am bummed to find out that after all the drama with purchasing a health insurance plan in time for the February 15th 2015 deadline, missing insurance card and two payments later, our policy may have a surrogacy exclusion WTF really when transfer is hours away and the transfer could possibly be delayed really no way so after 4 hours of back and forth communications between myself, coordinator, insurance agent we come to the conclusion that there is nothing that can be done after hours we just have to wait until the morning and deal with it then.

Thursday Febraury 26th 2015 8:00am- So I go with the game plan as asked and get to the clinic at 8:00 am to say that I am not stressed at this point doesn't do it justice. I speak with the ladies at the reception area and before I forget my cell and mobile charger are now dead, I also have a message waiting for me that my husband called and I am like OMG WTF else can go wrong? credit card issues ,really just pile more shit on this hectic day.

I start to hyperventilate and was encouraged to take one of the valium prescribed for the transfer to get me calm down a make a joke about it we all nervously laugh.

At the end If's were there we hugged and supported each other. there was nothing we could but scratch this cycle and start over. Praying for a new egg donor and success after my monster period comes then it will be back to the injections hormones and sore tushie

transfer day is almost here- Tursday February 26th

Hello everyone I wanted to update while I have a little down time in between picking up my sons from school. So in true anything that can go wrong will go wrong fashion , my back up support person had to bail on me, and hubby has to work a double and couldn't get the time off for TRANSFER DAY!!! I found out yesterday her car is bummed so that left me scrambling for a definite plan of action.

Luckily for us our babysitter from a few years ago moved back to the area and we ran into her at a community event , took her number marvelous thing she works at a pre school/daycare and we totally trust whoo hoo so after picking up a few last minute items with hubby for tomorrow into the weekend we went and signed all necessary forms with the schools and notified them of the changes to their pick up routine.

Now time to pick up the kids pack a little overnight bag  and relax (yeah right) thank goodness they give you something to calm your nerves before the procedure they know how jittery surrogates can get.

Instructions for tomorrow: No scented items in fact I will take a shower at midnight and that is it, no makeup, perfume, douches, deordant etc A full bladder I will bring a bottle of water with me or iced tea whichever is easier to go down.

So the next time I post I will have pictures from transfer day and home pregnancy tests photso because you we surros are obsessed with POAS'ing (peeing on a stick)

Update- Transfer is February 26th

Hello fellow followers it has been awhile and we have had so many development s I want to document and tell as much of it that I remember:



So let's see I have started meds and boy are they beginning to hurt ouchy. So along with that we had to have hiccups with  my health insurance card and the wrong address, delayed reimbursements and such as I remember more I will add more also how about my Transfer dates changing from February 22-23 to now officially to Thursday February 26th 2q015 now for the staff to get the time down pat. Also almost cried when they told me my lining had decreased but then it never got past 8.2-9 so for me the 11 was a stretch by far. But the transfer is still on I am hoping for multiples I know that most in the surrogate world would say I am crazy then I am.  I just want success for my IF's. Below are pictures from my last two visits, forgive the naughty pic I didn't see the end product but I decided to share it anyway
