Moving on and Moving in

 Hello Everyone, So IM had her retrieval on Friday, They were able to get 15 eggs. What a great number that is. I was so excited for her, more eggs means more chance of having the best embies we could get. Then it becomes a waiting game, leaving them to fertilize and grow. This morning we got word that out of the 15 eggs 13 were mature,10 fertilized and 9 are growing the way they should be. WOW what awesome eggs!

 Due to how well IPS have done in getting these little babes where they are, We are right on schedule for a Wednesday transfer. I have to just say that I feel like we have been so blessed in this whole process thus far and can only pray that it keeps going so smoothly. From the first meeting up to now there has been no real hold ups and that is the best we could have ever asked for.

 As for me and the wonderful PIO injections it is going day by day the first went great,then the second one hurt like the dickens. Last night went really well again. So I hope that maybe I can be so lucky that the 2nd one was just a bad spot and we will continue to have luck with them. And can I just say that my hubby is doing a great job being the nurse. He is amazing. The day after the always reminds me of the shots as my behind on a daily basis feels as though I have done buns of steel for 12 hours straight.LOL!! But this is exactly what I signed up for and I know that it will all be worth it when I see my IPS holding that lil bundle or bundles in their arms.They are truly two of the best people I have ever met and am so glad I can join them on this journey. Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers as we enter this final stage of round one and stay tuned for the beginning of round to it is sure to be an exciting ride. As always thank you for reading.

PIO #1

Say hello to my not so little friend! Hahahaha but it actually wasn't bas at all.....hubby did an awesome job. Thank you babe:)

Another step forward

Hello again everyone, just wanted to quickly let you all know that last night IM triggered ovulation and is going in tomorrow at 10 am for retrieval. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. The only thing that brings me back from over excitement is knowing I have to have my first PIO shot tonight. I will post a pic of that baby tonight, so you all can see why I am nervous. Thanks for reading, I will keep you all updated on what we find out leading up to Wednesdays transfer. Yay!!!

Numbers are in

  Hello everyone, so if you have been reading then you know that I had a lining check today and it went well. The Dr. said anything over 7 was great and mine as of today is 8.57!! YAY!! I am sure it will just continue to get more cushy as the next couple days go by. IM had a follicle check today and will continue to go in for the next two days to follow up. As of today we are still on track for transfer next Wednesday. I am so excited that the days are flying by and we are getting so close to the big day. Please send us some good vibes throughout the next week. I will be posting often for the next week or so to keep everyone up to date on all the great things that are happening. Thank you all so much for your interest in our journey, we are very happy to have you all reading.

On a Fast steady pace to transfer

  Hello again everyone, Happy Presidents Day. I hope all of you are enjoying your long weekend, I know I am. I also hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. With so many Holidays coming and going this last couple weeks has flown by for me. It is hard to believe that in a months time I will be pregnant and we will be starting the next step in this journey and what I think is the best part. I personally love to be pregnant and am very excited to be carrying the Lil beans for such amazing people. I thank Heaven everyday that we were brought together in this way. This is a dream come true for not only the IPS but for me as well. I have wanted this opportunity for a very long time and it takes very trusting people to allow someone to carry their unborn child(ren). So Thank you to both of them.
  Today I am amping up the dose of estrace to start really building up the lining of my uterus so the lil beans have a nice inviting space so they will decide to move in and sign a nine month lease. Ha Ha Ha!! I have a lining check appointment next Monday and I want that lining to be think and sticky, So please send us thick and sticky vibes. Also want to send good vibes to IM cause she has to start having 3 injections a night.(BOO)! I only have 10 more little injections left then on to the monster PIO injections and I am already thinking how much I am going to LOVE them. I will post pics of those ones when I start them on the 1st of March.
Well I gotta get back to my own little girlies, so thank you all for reading and thank you lots to the few of you that left comments.

Week 2 on Meds

  Hello everyone, well we are on week two of meds and some days fly by and others drag on. Last Sunday I decreased my lupron and started estrace 1 mg twice a day. Since doing that I have occasionally been tired with waves of nausea and some headaches. Sometimes with these side effects I already feel pregnant with water retention, weight gain and all. I am also very emotional!
  It is at this time in the surrogate journey that I am definitely glad to have such an understanding husband that will pick up the slack when I am tired, Be there for me when I am emotional and knows when to stay out of the way when I am moody. He has also been giving me my shots in my belly in preparation of the big ones to come. It is so hard for me to relinquish that much control as I am for the most bit a control freak.  So lesson 2 of this journey: I do not always have to have control!!!! 
   We are all very excited and anxious for the days and weeks ahead, On the 20th I will be upping my dose of estrace to 2mg three times a day to ready my uterine lining for transfer. Then I have a uterine lining check on the 27th if this month and we are expecting that to go well. After that I will be starting my Progesterone In Oil injections on the 1st of March (ouch). Then as long as everything goes well with retrieval we will be transferring the little beans on March 7th. And Having our 1st beta test on the 19th. We are hoping to get great news that day. But being the Impatient control freak that I am I will not be able to wait to long before I start testing @ home. Secretly we are all hoping that both will stick and that I will be able to carry TWINS for these two amazing people. So prayers are welcome and please send good juju our way .
   P.S. I have another little secret I'm gonna let you all in on, I may be having a special guest blogger when we finally have a Big Fat Positive. So watch for that it will be great. As always thank you for reading. And I am still waiting for some comments to let me know that I am not just typing to myself. LOL. 

Week one

Hello everyone, this is the last day of week one. I have taken six shots and glad to say so far so good. I was very nervous about having to give myself injections but it has actually been a piece of cake. This week I will be continuing the shots of lupron and adding an estrogen pill and I am hoping that it wont make my emotions more crazy. I am not a cryer but lately I cry at the drop of a hat. I just keep remembering it is all for the best cause.

I am so glad to be in the beginning of what I hope to be a wonderful journey for all of us.

I also want to give a shout out to the IM. Tonight is her first shot so I would like to wish her luck. (Good juju coming your way).

I want to apologize for this post being so short but I am blogging from my phone for the first time and this sh*# is not fun or easy. Lol!!! As always thank you for reading. And I will post again soon so stay tuned :)
