A happy surrogacy email beginning

There is nothing better than getting an email with some great news, and that was exactly what happened Saturday morning. Anjani from Kiran Infertility Centre just told us that the HCG injection was going to be given today!  I am so anxious to know how many eggs will be retrieved and the condition. What a wonderful woman who is donating her eggs to us. You just want to hug her, hold her hand and thank her all at once. William was very excited and remembered when I had my HCG injection and how nervous we were when it happened. 

We were also told that egg retrieval will be on Monday! That’s today!  He is also going to let us know the number and quality of embryos. So, if all goes well, by the end of the week we will have our embryo transferred to our surrogate.

All I have been doing for the last 48 hours is just thinking about it… Moving forward but still having a lot of hurdles to pass and knowing we should stay calm.  We also had to make the decision of how many embryos to transfer. We did have this discussion with Dr. Samit when we were in Hyderabad, and I must say he was very good at discussing all aspects and various choices we could make in regards to this decision.

William and I discussed it again this Sunday; we took a walk in the first rays of spring, at least it felt that way, considering it has been freezing here for the past two weeks.  We decided that what we discussed with Dr. Samit was still our choice today.

I will definitely keep you posted on the progress this week.
