Last Wednesday, the 25th, I received the phone call I have been waiting for! We have an embryo transfer date!
Wednesday, February 8th I will go for my first monitoring appointment. They will look at my uterus, ovaries, and take blood. That night, I will start meds.
Then I will go the following two Wednesdays to do the same thing. If everything looks good on Wednesday, February 22nd then the transfer will be on Tuesday, February 28th!
I am so excited to finally get to this point!
Please keep us in your thoughts as we go through this process. I will update about the different meds and schedule as I get more info!
For now, we are dealing with finding a monitoring clinic, ordering the meds I need, and spending a lot of time in prayer!
Talk soon!

An Update
It has been a long time since my last post. That is because we have kind of been in a holding pattern due to the holidays and schedules being a bit out of the ordinary!
On January 13th, exactly one month after my last post, we received the first copy of our contract! The weekend was spent going over it in detail, making notes about questions we had, and preparing for our meeting with our attorney.
The following Tuesday, we met with our attorney via a conference call. Dan and I were able to voice our concerns and questions and she also informed us of changes she wanted to make. (She is very well versed in surrogacy contracts) We signed off on that copy and it went back to our Intended Parents lawyers. The process then repeated!
Today, 10 days after starting the process, we received the final copy via email! Next step was to sign the document and get it back to our attorney. We asked our wonderful neighbors, Ben and Lucinda, to come be our witnesses to sign as they are a "neutral party." Thanks to them, we were able to sign and return it the same day!
Once everything is signed by us and the IP's, the lawyers will forward the documents onto our agency who will then give the OKAY to the fertility clinic. I am crossing my fingers that I hear from the fertility clinic this week about a transfer calendar/schedule!
So here's to 2017 and the huge life accomplishments we plan on making! Please join me in praying for a quick turn around time so that we can help make these parents dreams come true!
Hopefully, the next update will come soon! :)
