Grrrrrrr.........

OK.  So after no news from HRC from Monday, I just found out that the ED did not go to her appointment yesterday.  She just didn't show up.  She did randomly show up this morning to be checked and she is nowhere near ready.  So instead of egg retrieval on Sunday, as planned, she has another monitoring appointment on Sunday.  Hopefully she will be ready to go by mid to late next week.

OK.  So this has been hell with work to try to get this arranged.  And now, 30 minutes before the end of the day before a holiday weekend, I am scrambling to get everything arranged for new dates that I can only guess at.  Work is going to love me (sense the sarcasm).

Trying to contain my severe anger, disappointment, frustration, and annoyance.

Donor looking good!

And tonight the update from HRC. Donor looked good at today's appointment. So now we wait...   Again...  Until her next appointment...

Getting excited!!

Last monitoring appointment was this morning. Lining looks awesome - 12 with a triple stripe. Estrogen levels are through the roof. Tentatively, I fly out in 8 days. I wonder how our donor is doing, though......

It's the weekend!

What's the best way to start the weekend?  How about with a massive headache and super waves of nausea??!!??  Yeah for estrogen!!

Well, another monitoring appointment is in the books!  Lining looks great measuring 10 with a triple stripe already forming after only a week on meds!  One more appointment next Monday, then waiting on egg donor to see how she is progressing.  More waiting.....

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

OK, so here we wait again.  Waiting, waiting, waiting.  That’s all I seem to do!

Let me start from the beginning.  5 years ago, I was a surrogate for a wonderful couple, W & M.  I carried Marie for them and she became their world.  So, 2 years ago, I decided I wanted to help someone else have their munchkin.  In May 2012, I met M.  And we have a match, ladies and gentleman!  It took 11 months before we were ready to try to make this baby thing happen.  And it was a fail.

So here we wait.  Ready to try again.  I started my meds a week ago. Pills three times a day and an injection every 3 days. I go for another monitoring appt tomorrow. The Monday ultrasound and lab work is something I find fun. Can I beat my numbers from last week??  As long as the numbers go up as planned and our donor looks good, I will fly to Passdena on September 3 so we can give this another try. 

And so we sit.  And wait.  As patiently as this impatient girl can............... 

How did this all come to be?

I created this page to tell a story.  A fun story about a girl and a guy.  But it's not that kind of story...  Here's where things get interesting..

My name is Elizabeth.  I live in Ohio.  Boring old Ohio.  I have a hubby, 4 lovely kids (who are growing up way too fast), and a dog.

His name is M.  He lives in San Fran.  M wants a baby.  And that's how our story begins, boys and girls......
