Happy St. Patrick's Day ( and week or 2 in review) Surrogacy Journey #5

First of all Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I posted this earlier today on Facebook and Instagram-

#throwbackthursday & #flashbackfriday Comes early this week in honor of St. Patrick's Day. 
This was 5 years ago with my surrotwins. 30 weeks, 6 days. I would be in preterm labor and in the hospital 1 week and 1 day later and they would be born 2 weeks, 1 day later. (33 weeks)

And now let's catch up on the past 2 weeks, oldest to most recent-

Fun Lupron side effects. I had a lovely hot flash that turned my face red, along with nausea and a headache.

Ultrasound and bloodwork 3/11/14

So, I started Estradiol every 3 days

I wanted to make sure I was injecting in the right spot (even though I've done this a few times), so I asked hubby to draw an X in the upper quadrant. Well, X marks the spot. Lol! P.S. that's my hip, not my bum. Ha ha.

And back to today. (3/17/14)

I think that about covers everything Surro-related since my last blog post. Thanks for reading!

A surrogate and her meds

So the last transfer in February (couple #4) ended in a chemical pregnancy.
:(

I am so used to doing shots and it was my first shot-free protocol. Kind of nice, but suppositories aren't all that fun. Call me crazy, I requested the shots for round 2.

I got my meds last week and there was a mix up. I explain in the 2nd video.

Here I am getting my medication delivery yesterday. (The correct one, hopefully)



Now let's see what's inside....

This gives you a good idea of what a surrogate goes through and the meds she takes.



Hopefully Round 2 is it for us. I'm thinking we'll be doing an embryo transfer in May.
