And Another Bites the dust

It has now been 2 weeks since my transfer sorry that it has taken so long to update but I wanted to have official information when I did. Sadly my transfer didn't take. I knew something was up as I tested and got stark white tests and at times used two pregnancy tests to even the odds of a false negatives. I watched ad my fellow surro sisters got positives at 3dpt, 5dpt and watched a few like me get nothing. What followed after is where the real drama begins, from the clinic not telling me personally that the beta was negative to finding out from IF A, to the poor treatment of me in regards to further medical instructions. to the Nurse Coordinator saying that she assumed Dr. Denker told. The aftermath was as bad as the clean-up after a hurricane,
,tornado and tsunami.

I have spent the past four days pulling information from my IF's and having my program coordinator do the same to resorting to having my agency director get in on it. And after phone tag, email stomp and just plain old fashioned waiting the results are in Financial Reasons are the cause for them not to continue with our contract. Once again in this journey it seems that I am the last to know and only after hitting anyone up do I get an answer or response. This was something that I suspected, after my last phone conversation with IF A. I never got to speak to IF Y. They were done and I was the last to know. I wish them luck in the future.

So now I am waiting on a period after stopping my fertility meds and am also looking into being rematched. Census among surro sisters says 5 days this is the fourth day. I expect it to be very heavy which means I need to beef up on my vitamins I experience heavy periods with my hypothyroidism anyway.

I will be back I have to wait for 2 months and am very hopeful that in that time I can be matched with new IP's and we can cycle this year.

Counting Down the days until beta

Hello everyone I am officially 7dpt5dt (Seven days past a Five day transfer) the wait is killing and the pressure is on for a positive result. I have to admit I tested on Sunday and it was negative and that bummed me out. I got discouraged and decided not to test until Sunday or not at all. My Beta is scheduled for Monday morning at 9:30 am. No pressure right

So throw on some more my IF's who have been relatively quiet sent me a text yesterday asking how I felt and if I would test on Sunday and let them know the results. Hubby didn't want me to test any further and my coordinator says she doesn't bother because the stress was just too much and she is right, it is. But I agreed I figured that with it being so close to beta the chances of it being correct would be better seeing as how we would we almost 13-14 days past transfer right? But, that's the thing with IVF it is a crapshoot to borrow a phrase from another surro friend there are so many variables And no one method works its a tweaking of sorts increase estrace decrease progesterone.

So to keep myself busy I am focusing on back-to-school shopping and I have shirked away from the Surrogate groups for a bit. I have a lot of women supporting me and that helps.

$ more days until Sunday and 5 more until beta....... the saga continues

The Countdown has begun

Well today is the egg retrieval and I am praying that all goes well. I will call the clinic just to find out if it was done to calm my nerves. My nerves are raw we have had one too many pit stops along the way in the ;journey and I am just trying to keep it together. I have increased fruits in my diet my vitamins and added an hour to my exercise routine all in a bid to keep my mind distracted.

I have my yellow nail polish and will be going in for a haircut on Saturday. I go to buy my new yoga pants tomorrow and I have my yellow socks and yellow top with long sleeves the room can get chilly.  The next post from me will hopefully be of me and IF's and hubby  before transfer and me in my gown and I pray that we get a photo of the embryos.

4 days down and counting until T-Day.....
