I went to the doctor and had another ultrasound, blood work and other tests, the verdict is in, I am all cleared to move forward with the transfer. For all my (two) followers out there let me just tell you about my medication schedule. Well I started out taking 20 units of Lupron (injection in the stomach) 1 baby asprin and 1 prenatal vitamin every night. Then I went down to 10 units of Lupron and started taking 1 Estrace and countinued taking the baby asprin and prenatal vitamin. I then incresed the Estrace to 1 in the morning and 1 at night. About a week later I increased the estrace again to, two at night. The night of the 24th I will stop taking the Lupron and start taking 1cc of progestrone every morning and night. Then on the 25th I will also start taking 1 Doxycline in the morning and night as well as 1 Medrol in the morning for four days along with the rest of the stuff. The morning of the embryo transfer I will start taking Anaprox every morning and night in addition to everything else. Whew, that is a lot of medication and you would think that I would be use to this since this is my fourth cycle since becoming a surrogate, but I am not. It still shocks me every time I receive the medication in the mail. The transfer should be on the 29th or 30th of this month. I will update more in the weeks to come.

Well I went to my appointment on Monday Ausust 18th and I apparently had some tissue that was floating around in my uterus so I had to have a little tiny minor procedure on Friday August 22nd. Everything went ok and things looked good according to the doctor. So then I waited and received my calendar to see when I started my medications. I started the lupron on September 4th, it is a little injection I must give myself every night in the stomach. I also started taking prenatal vitamins and a baby asprin. I will now begin to take one estrace at night starting tonight. My dosage will increase as it closer to the transfer date. I went down on the 11th to have an ultrasound to see what the base line was of my uterus; I also had blood work done to check my levels for progestrone and estrogen. I will go back on the 22nd maybe the 21st to see if the lining of my uterus is becoming thick. I belive the transfer will take place any time from September 30th to October 2nd.

It all starts again…. I have to go to Beverly Hills for a doctors appointment so they can make sure I still work. It looks like the end of September or first part of October I will be knocked up again. I am excited that we are starting after such a long wait. Things should start to kick into gear at the end of this month or the beginning of the next. The pills and injections are just around the corner. Fun times are to be had let me tell you. Getting poked in the stomach first and then in the behind once a day. As the transfer date draws near the injections and pills increase…. Fun times. First thing first, I must go get my uterus checked out and make sure there is no scarring due to the D&C that was done in March. So Monday I will know if it is a go, or if my dreams are going to be smashed to pieces.

So I know you think I fell off the face of the earth I really didn’t. I just have not had anything exciting to write about until now. Read the rest of this entry »

So I have been slacking on school work again, nothing different there. I really need to get focused and start kicking it into overdrive. I am still waiting to see if my IP’s are going to be pregnant themselves…. they should be going in for the transfer on Wed. so I am crossing fingers and toes for them. I know how much they want to have a child and if my IM could carry herself that would be even better. Read the rest of this entry »

As all of you know I now have 13 year old son (Tim) and so my life has changed. I don’t think that my life will be the same again. I am trying to be understanding but it is difficult to get use to his annoying habits over night. I know my son, Gabriel has annoying habits but I have had 9 years to get use to them. Some of the things that Tim does really get under my skin. Like what, you ask… well let me tell you and I will give an example. He has to be in control of everything that him and Gabriel do and if he is not than he does not want to play. The example, on the way down to San Diego my son asked to play with my macbook so I gave it to him… my hunny the smart person he is mentioned that he could watch a movie … bad idea… so of course Tim wants to do that so that is what happend only problem there can only be one set of headphones pluged in so course they now have to share the headphones but somehow Tim keeps ending up with the laptop on his lab… he never even wanted the computer. So Gabriel has to strech to see the screen and when I tell him to put it in the middle Tim puts his head in front of the screen so that Gabriel can not see. This sort of this is what gets under my skin.

Well thanks for letting me vent if I don’t get an outlet some could end up hurt.

So when I was younger, you know in school I was not in the “IN” crowd. I was really social but I just did not have that many friends. Well that all changed sort-of when I was 13 years old. I went to visit my aunt in Whittier one summer. Read the rest of this entry »

So as those of you who read this blog know I am a surrogate once again. I went to the doctors in Beverly Hills for the last time on March 9th and was released to see my own doctor… yeah.
