If you are curious about my recent surrogacy journey, here are the deets:
Cycle #1
11/1---transferred 1 beautiful fresh 5-day embryo in CT
11/5---received my first BFP on a home pregnancy test @ 4dp5dt
11/11---first beta results of 161 @ 10dp5dt
11/13---second beta results of 246 @ 12dp5dt
11/17---third beta results of 106 @ 16dp5dt
11/18---chemical pregnancy confirmed as beta continued dropping :(
Cycle #2
12/17---began Lupron injections for second IVF cycle
12/29---baseline ultrasound and bloodwork
1/13---lining check ultrasound and bloodwork
1/22---frozen transfer of one or two 5-day embryos in CT
The first cycle was a bust. I was devastated and the intended parents were bummed. It sucks to have everything look good and then for it all to turn south. That's okay. We have a new game plan for January and I have a very good feeling about it. Please wish my IPs much luck for a 2015 baby (or babies). :)
BTW, I received Christmas cards with photos of my previous 3 surrobabies. They are all so beautiful!! Even though they aren't my kids, I am incredibly proud of them. The pics are already prominently displayed on my fridge (along with their past Christmas photos). I just love seeing these families everyday. :)
Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!
Here are a few more pics from my trip for transfer #1 (my mom and I visited NYC):
