August 3rd......It's Gonna be a Good Day

Some of my levels were off by a few days so they had to push my meds back.  Our new trasnfer date will be next Friday, August 3rd.  We are very excited and can't wait for next Friday to be here. 

In the meantime, Robin sent us a "Goodie Box" for me and my family.  It had lots of fun stuff in it for all of us.  She is the best! 

Thanks again Robin

Please keep your fingers crossed for us!

I will keep yall posted, more to come

Bad News

Yesterday Robin and I got a call no IM (intended mother) or surro ever want to get.  We had a negative beta.  That means the transfer didn't take and I am not pregnant.  It is a terrible feeling and I cant imagine how Robin is feeling.  I tried my best to keep her spirits up because I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  We knew when the Dr told us she only wanted to transfer 1 embie that we only had a 60% chance it would stick.  I know in my heart together we will get her the baby she has been waiting so long for.  We might be taking the long road but thats ok, its what is at the end that matters. 

We are going to get back in the game right away.  I stopped taking my meds yesterday and now just waiting for "aunt flow."  In a few days I will start over on all the meds I've been taking and we will receive our new calendar.  We are hoping for a late July transfer.  If all goes well, the baby will be due in April.  April is a good month.  I have lots of dear friends b-day in April, including my hubby.

More to come, I will keep yall posted

Today is the Big Day...Transfer Day

What an amazing day!!

Robin flew in this morning and met us for lunch before heading over to the clinic for our trasfer.  I was so nervous that I couldn't even eat lunch.  I was not nervous about the procedure itself b/c I have done it before and its no biggie.  I was more nervous that it wouldn't take and I dont want Robin to go through that.  I know how much this means to her and only want success on the first try.  Fingers crossed! 

I got Robin a Noah's Arch snow globe with "May this be a Joyful Journey" engraved as a gift between she and I.

                                                 

 

Robin is a great support system, Love her! During the transfer, Robin was at my side the whole time and it was breathtaking to witness her seeing them put the "little embie" in.  After a few tears, high fives and whoo hoo we did it, she went out to the waiting room to get Donald and aunt Kristina (Robin's best friend) to come join us in the small celebration room.  Which was really just the exam room where I had to be for the next 15-20 mins or so.

Hi Kristina, nice to meet you.  Please excuse me laying upside down, half naked and complaining about wetting the bed.  First impressions, you gotta love them.

Overall, the transfer went great.  We transferred one perfect graded embie and now I am home to lay around for the rest of the week.  My hubby got me my favorite food on the way home from the clinic so I ate plenty of food as soon as I got my comfy fat girl pants on.  No worries Robin, I really do eat, I promise!  My hubby also got me lots of movies to watch while I lay around.  He is the best!

Med's for Days

I went to the Dr today to have a sono done after taking Lupron for a few weeks now.  Everything looked great so my orders are to decrease Lupron from 20 units to 10 units daily.  I will start Estrace today which is in pill form.  I will take 1 tablet daily for 4 days and then I will increase it to 2 tablets daily.  After 4 days of 2 tablets, I will increase Estrace again to 3 tablets daily.  I will have another sono on June 5, to confirm the actually transfer date and to be able to start Progesterone injections. 

3 more weeks until the transfer!!

I will keep yall posted, more to come :)

Let the Fun Begin

So we got our official calendar. I will start my little Lupron belly injections tonight. Those are easy breezy :) My last BC (birth control) pill will be on Tuesday. That is very exciting news because it has been making me feel really sick. I feel nauseous when I get hot, feel nauseous when I get cold, feel nauseous when I eat and feel nauseous when I don't eat. So that part of the calendar makes me very happy. I will get a sono on May 25th to let me know if I can start Estrace pills to thicken up my cervix.  I will also have a sono on June 5th to confirm the transfer date and possible start my big Progesterone butt injections. Those hurt :( . At this point, we have an estimated transfer date to be June 12, 13 or 15.

Woo Hoo, we will be pregnant in a month. It's very exciting! I'm ready and I know Robin is more than ready. Robin has such a big heart and deserves a family to share her love with. She is going to be an amazing mother and this time next year she will be celebrating her very own Mother's Day with her own. I'm very thankful to be able to share this experience with her.

Thanks to all who are following us....it's going to be a breathtaking journey!
