Hey guys, here's a quick update on my latest surrogacy journey. They are going to thaw the last 2 embryos that my IPs have today. Both are little girls and we hope that they make the thaw. It's all so nerve-wracking! Our transfer is set at 10am Pacific time so that is 1pm to all my southern friends/family. I would greatly appreciate it if you would please say a quick prayer for my IPs and the procedure. They want nothing more than to have a sibling for their daughter.
I changed my ticker above to reflect a pregnancy because that is what I will be considered until a blood test could prove otherwise. If you are wondering how I am 2 weeks and 6 days pregnant before I even have the embryos transferred into me, here is an explanation:
In a normal cycle, you don't ovulate until around day 14 (2 weeks after you start day 1 of your period) and that is when conception occurs. By the time that you know that you are pregnant, you most likely just missed day 1 of your next cycle (about 2 weeks after conception). That makes you 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant even though you really only conceived 2 weeks and a day before your missed period. Due to never knowing exactly when conception occured because everyone's period lengths are different, the due date is always calculated from the 1st day of your last period. With IVF, we know exactly when conception occured but it still has to be calculated with the addition of 14 days before the egg retrieval. These embryos were frozen at 6 days old so you add the 6 days to the initial first 2 weeks. Clear as mud, right? LOL
