Got the call yesterday afternoon that my pregnancy labs were negative. That means not pregnant. No success with this transfer. I was to say the least so upset. I wanted it so bad this time. And everything looked better than last time. My blood levels were within normal, my lining was thicker, I was on less medication, the embryos looked great, and still no success. I asked what I did wrong and /or what I could have done differently and they answered nothing. It all comes down to the odds that we were given, 50/50.
The big question is what's next? Well it's all kind of up in the air right now. I stopped all my meds today and now just let hormones relax and once I have a cycle we can go again... that is if the IF's want to. I know that there are more embryo's to thaw so now it is up to them. I have a feeling that we will try again and I hope it will be asap.
Third times a charm!
As I embark on this amazing journey of surrogacy, I wanna share every minute with those that love and support me and my decision to do this for such an amazing couple.

Now...Just waiting!
Well four days ago I was implanted with two healthy looking blastocysts. I really am not sure too much on the terminology but the clinic only had to thaw two embryos and they were really happy with the quality of them. I had such a mix of emotions the days prior to transfer but the night before transfer and the day of I was just filled with positive thoughts, hope, and excitement.
Transfer went smooth and I really enjoyed my 2 days after resting and relaxing. I watched lots of movies and TV and read a book or two. My husband and kids spoiled me just like the last time we went through this. I am now just trying to stay positive and really just wait. We will be getting labwork taken on Wed and Friday with results coming back to us late Friday evening. I am really hoping this time will be it.
I have some friends and family asking how I feel and to that I answer, fine! I have been more tired than usual, so we are hoping that is a good sign. I have decided, along with my IF, that we aren't gonna take home pregnancy tests this time prior to the lab results. I know that it isn't going to change results either way but we are just gonna let the labwork speak. Although I do have to admit I am very anxious to hear what the labwork says.
