Success after IF

Well girls, contract is signed

Woot!  They signed it. I signed it. DH signed it.

I am really going to do this surrogacy. like for realz. 

I'm so excited. I just had to share. Our tentative date for transfer is April 1 or April 8th. They're closed on the 25th which is more in tune with my cycle so they're sticking me on bcp for a while. (groan) We scrambled to get the contract finalized and signed today because CD 1 could be tomorrow or any of the following days. We'd hate to be out another cycle just because of paperwork. 

So glad that part is over and I can focus on the next part of the journey. 

Okay, so I'm cutting out my beloved Pepsi. What else can I do to "healthy up" in the next month or so? I'll be doing acupuncture the day before transfer. What else?

    Yes.  :: deep breath :: One. 

    Lots of factors were considered. I spoke to my own RE, my OB, researched stats on twins, stats on pregnancies, stats on AMA IVF, everything. This feels like the best decision right now and I will re-evaluate going forward if needed.

  • How exciting and amazing to be moving forward with this officially!

    You seem like a "healthy habits" kinda woman...Good luck getting off the Pepsi.  That stuff is like crack:)

  • I know! I swear it does have crack in it. It's what keeps me going. I may be a lot less productive in the coming days.  lol!

  • that's fantastic!!!   you are so awesome!!
  • EEK! How exciting for all of you! I never, ever imagined (though I hoped) when I shared their blog a few months back that anyone I "knew" would offer such an incredible gift and end up being a match.

    I am thinking so many good thoughts for all of you. I hope things go as smooth as can be! My transfer with Eliza was April 8th - my hubby's bday. It is a good day and it means a holiday baby - what an awesome gift!

    You are an inspiration!!!

    i've always meant to ask you, do you know K&M in person or through TTTC? They are SO amazing. So, so amazing! 

    I'm all about the holiday babies.

    I "know" K from another TTTC board and I had the opportunity to travel to meet them at their home last summer for a GTG, but didn't feel ready to leave Eliza. Hopefully, someday though! That's right - I knew your girls were holiday babes. 

    You are pretty amazing yourself, there, lady!!!
