A new Beginning

The new journey has begun and alas I am getting around to posting about it. Doing a fourth surrogacy journey has been no small task and I have begun and said I was going to stop several times. When I want to stop, something inside me kept pushing me and telling me my time was not yet, my time was not yet! I needed to listen to God and wait for the right couple to come along and wait for the perfect timing.

This journey with the right couple is now underway. This is what I feel God was leading me to the whole time. I feel very comfortable and most of all, I feel this is the "one", this is the couple I was meant to help.

Their names will remain nameless and I will simply refer to them as IF, and IM.....for Intended Father and Intended Mother. They do not live in the same state as I, but are close enough to be able to drive for the major appointments, or any other if they want to make the trek! :)

More later on all of that. For now, I will simply post the update of my latest news to date.

On June 30, 2006 at approx 11:30 a.m. PST, we transferred three excellent rated embryo's! Two of which were right where they were suppose to be, and one of which, was a little behind developmentally, but still in EXCELLENT form for the stage it was in. So.....all three went in at the recommendation of the RE's office. RE would stand for Reproductive Endocrinologist (the getting pregnant doctor - hee hee).

The first bloodtest will be on 7/12/06 and I am anxious to see those results. I feel very positive right now.

I have had the cramping periodically, which is usually a sign of implantation, but I have something this time I didn't have with my last NEGATIVE cycle. I had the tell tale streaking or light spotting. This has happened with the other previous embryo transfers that I had that were successful. My friend tells me, "of course it is implantation, what else could it be?" I don't know, I told her it could be my body ridding itself of the embryo's, but really I am just trying to find some reason for it to not be just in case it does turn out negative. I really can't see that happening right now though! I should mention this spotting was only minimal...not a whole lot, more like just streaking when I wiped, and just for a couple times, and now it's gone! THAT is a GOOD GOOD SIGN! Combined with cramping....oh, I'm feeling pretty good now that it just might have worked exactly like I thought!

I did do a home pregnancy test yesterday a.m. and the dumb thing was INVALID. What? Yeah, the little window that is the control window, that is suppose to show a line? Well, it didn't, and according to the little booklet that came with that, it means the test was INVALID! Well phooey on it! PPllbbbbttttttt

So, I did another this a.m. and not even the faintest line! However, WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING? It's only been 6 days! Sheesh....give my body a rest man, it isn't a hormone producing machine.....YET!!!!!!!!!!!

But did that get me down? Nope, nadda, no way Georgie! It did help to reassure me that it is unlikely all THREE took....but I still feel GREAT about the whole thing and think by Monday, I will see a line! Oh goodness, Monday seems like a long ways away! AARRGH Also, even though I'd love to carry twins for this couple, I had a dream it was a singleton girl, so everyone mark my words here! I think it will be a singleton GIRL! K? K! Good! LOL

Until next time,
((HUGS))
