Today is the day!

That's right, boys and girls!  Today is the magic day!!  It's Transfer Day!  This morning at 9:46am, we finished transferring 3 (that's right - three!) blasts to my fluffy uterus. Now back to the hotel for some bedrest. Hoping that 1 or 2 of these babies will decide I'm awesome enough to hang out with for the next 9 months ;)

When will we know??  My blood pregnancy test is scheduled for Monday, September 23rd.  But you bet I'm start using some of those home tests I have before then!

Great news!

Great news, boys and girls!  The babies are baking very well in their home in the lab!  As of this morning, we had three 6 celled and nine 8 celled babies growing very well.  So, what does that mean??  It means we are doing a 5 day transfer!

That gives me 2 days to wreck havoc in Pasadena before we move those babies to me to bake :)

It's about that time!

So long Ohio!  Heading out to sunny Pasadena. Hopefully I'll be bringing back a souvenir ;)

Today is the first day of this journey!

Today is it. Egg retrieval day. The day that starts everything off. Yippee!  Lets get this baby making started!

Yeah! The waiting is coming to an end!

So, my wonderful nurse, Grace, just called.  We have definite dates!  Egg retrieval is set for Thursday.  So, a 3 day transfer would happen on Sunday the 8th or a 5 day would happen on Tuesday the 10th.  Yeah for baby making!!

More waiting...

So, I just got a call from the clinic to update me on the donor. At this point, she's still nowhere near ready. She is coming back on Tuesday for another appointment. So, the very earliest she would have her retrieval would be Friday the 6th, although it is looking like it may be a few days after that. 

So, we wait until Tuesdays update...

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.
