The Results!!

I took my second blood test on Monday and finally the third transfer worked!!! Yes my IP's are very happy!! My betas seem strong. Friday's was 224 and Monday's was 857 :-) I have an ultrasound on April 11th to make sure everything is ok. It's funny....now that I know I'm pregnant I don't feel anything at all. Before I was driving myself crazy with every little cramp or symptom of pregnancy ;-)

First Beta test today....

Well it's March 23rd!! I took my first beta bloot test today but of course I will be worrying and anxious all weekend!! The fertility office will not let me know the results until I take my 2nd beta on Monday. It is really driving me crazy not knowing. I almost bought a HPT but I have read others getting false negetives, so I think I'm just going to wait. My boobs are sore on and off and I have been getting cramps every now and then...so praying it's not my period ;-) wishing all of you going through the wait loads of baby dust!

Waiting for my surro pregnancy results

Well I have contemplated whether or not to start writing about my second surrogacy journey. My name is Jeanette and I am 33. I have been married almost 14 years to a wonderful guy and we have a 12 year old daughter and 6 year old twins (boy & girl). I wish I would have wrote about my first experience as a surrogate. I will save that story for another time :-) As of today, I have just completed my 3rd try (transfer) for a couple in France. I am in California. My first two transfers sadly did not take and I just had my third transfer on March 16th. The doctor transferred (2) 5 day embryos. This whole experience has been like a roller coaster of emotions for me! Not that all the hormone shots don't have something to do with it lol! It is so hard and devasting to go through the doctors appt. shots and emotions just to be let down after you get your beta blood test back and find out it is negetive. Especially when all the hormones your on really trick you into thinking and feeling like you are pregnant! It can be very deceiving!!! It makes it even harder when your surrogate couple lives so far away and I do not really feel connected to them or any kind of bond yet. I think they have a guard up with me until they know that I am pregnant. It just makes it hard on me to not really have that communication to help with all the emotions I am feeling :( As of right now I am 5 days past a 5 day embryo transfer. I will have my first beta blood test on Friday, March 23rd. The waiting and wondering takes such a toll on your emotions and it's really hard! I have been tempted to take a home pregnancy test but am afraid to. So I am waiting and the worst part is the doctors office will not give me the results until my second beta on Monday, March 26th! I will keep you posted on my emotions through out this process and the results!
