Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long!
We have been not so patiently waiting for my medical clearance from the fertility clinic. I would be flat out lying to say I wasn't really frustrated through this process. There were lots of things that didn't go smoothly, but thankfully plenty that did. It is just that though, part of the process, so I am glad it is done with and we are moving forward. But here is the skinny on what has happened since my last post.
So after I met with the fertility specialist in May, I had my ultrasound in Madison. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still a little uncomfortable. I will spare you the details on that one! Nevertheless, everything looked good with it and I just had some blood work and a simple office visit with my PCP (primary care physician) to go for my clearance. That is where the waiting got to me, but like I said, all part of the process! So after about 5 weeks I think, I received the best news...I am cleared!!! Talk about a weight lifted off my shoulders! I wasn't worried that I wouldn't be, it was just taking FOREVER.
I could not wait to tell my IM and IF! It was a great day. So now that we finally got through that step, we are working on the parenting agreement. We have already discussed what is in it so nothing was a surprise. Once everyone has signed off on that we get ready for hormone therapy. I am very happy that I do NOT have to do daily injections!
I have had many conversations with my IM and the Surrogacy Center so far through this, and I am so grateful I not only have my husband and family as support, but my IP's and the Surrogacy Center as well. They have been reassuring, patient, and understanding through everything so far, and I get a little more excited as we closer and closer to transfer day!
That's all I have for now! Thanks for reading! It should be getting more exciting through each post now!
