too long between posts

So apparently I have done it again! I just can't seem to get my shit together and keep this updated!

I lost this account briefly as I had apparently had given a birthday which made me less than 13.. so my account was locked. But I got it back :D

Now my updates :)

I had decided to fill out my application to become a surrogate, again, back in August. Before I was even able to finish the forms Leia matched me with an awesome couple from PEI. They have one daughter and due to complications from a miscarriage, were no longer able to carry a child. And this is where I come in :)

We emailed quite frequently while we got contracts set up and initial blood work done. I got to know her and her family :)

I stopped breastfeeding Abby at the beginning of October. She really wasn't drinking all that much and was much more interested it food, so it was ok :)



So, where are we now ?
I have been in touch with Create (the fertility clinic in Toronto) and we have everything set up! IM and I are currently on birth control pills and will stop them on nov 13th, and wait for my period to arrive.  At which point I will be going to get an ultrasound and bloodwork. And if everything there looks good, I will be starting Estrace! This is used to thicken my uterine lining to make it nice and fluffy for some embryos. After 10 days on meds I will get another ultrasound to check on the fluffiness and hopefully transfer on Dec 7th. That is also dependant on how IM does on her meds. We may transfer sooner or later. I start on antibiotics, 3 days before transfer and that's also when I start the progesterone injections. FUN! I actually never minded the shots and I give them myself so I don't have to worry about someone taking their anger out on me :P

I am going to try and update weekly, if not more depending on what is going on! I can't wait for this to happen! I love creating new life, and helping people fulfill their dreams is an honor.

Here's to everything going smoothly!
