~*~Monkey MAYhem: 4/16-4/25~*~

[EmmaLexiMomma]

The first contract I got said IP's were using donor eggs, and were so confused when I asked about it. I said I thought they were using IM's eggs and they said they were, but the contract said donor. Probably not too big of a deal but we were all confused for a bit about that.

I hope your IM gets it all set and it doesn't take too long!

With my PIP'S our contract had so many errors in it and things missing, like who was paying for the insurance (that's a big one) but it worked out. Just was hoping those "little" errors wouldn't be there so we can make May!

[DKmamato3]

Doxy already? I didn't have to take that until the week of transfer. Weird!

I don't start that until a few days before transfer. I think the same time as progesterone.

Lucky me ... I have it the beginning of my protocol too. 10 days Am/PM along with Lupron start and then 5 days again before transfer.

My IM got the contract Friday and even her name is spelled wrong (6 total letters for first and last name, like really!?) So she is writing all the errors down and sending it back to be fixed.

I had my saline sono today and the dr said everything looked good. Now if only contracts would be that easy!

Hopefully they will get it fixed right up for you!!!

[Mommalocke]

I had my blood work and u/s appt this morning. My lining looked good, I think he said 13. I have a cyst on my ovary that has never been there. They think it is from the Lupron. I will go back on Wednesday for another progesterone check.

[tummymommy]

I'd say we are just trucking right along prepping for MAY! Reading all these pee stick threads solidified my game plan. I'm going to start with the reliable osoms, move to the guilt free wondfo and top it off with a few frers to confirm. I think I've lost my d@#n mind, I have over 100 hpt's!!! Ahhhh!!!

[MrS.SaiTeR]

So excited!! To be starting Lupron tomorrow I have never been on Lupron so I will see how it goes. some of you have changed your siggys I need to remember names but I go by siggys I have the worst memory!

I can't wait to start peeing on a stick

Niecy u go girl! I've never heard of mud run that would be so hard! What a workout!! It does look like fun!

Doxy I take before transfer I think a week before it makes me feel so nausea anyone else?

It hardly never rains here we need rain it reached 100 today! So HOT! We have been swimming we already have a nice tan and it's not even may. Lol We just moved a couple weeks ago and we have a pool the kids love to swim! It's nice having my oldest girls ages 9,7,6 that can swim I thought it was never gonna happen now I just have 1 to go its kind of like teaching them to go on the potty and when they do it the greatest thing ever.

Good luck ladies!!!! May is just around the corner

[DKmamato3]

I've been reading along but superstitious about joining until I got a firm commitment from the clinic on starting meds. But now I have that, so add me!

I'm Simi. I delivered a baby boy as a surrogate in 8/2010. Matched again this past fall and my IM ended up getting pregnant on her own, which was amazingly awesome-- she's due this summer. When she'd cleared her first trimester, I matched again in January with N and M. We've had some silly procedural delays (clinic being very cautious and requiring appointments with outside specialists), but we are *so glad* to finally be headed to transfer (on 5/28).

And, since it's apparently the thing to do around here, I'm also running a mud run. Spartan Sprint on 5/20.

welcome to May

Hopefully the cyst will resolve quickly on its own

... maybe you need to start peeing now just to make sure you got it down

Yep same here ... do not like it. Just 9 more days to go of it right now.

I just did my first Lupron injection .... one shot down many more to go!

[jayleepraise]

This morning is my repeat blood test (from 3 weeks ago) FINALLY!! It delayed our start of the meds. Hopefully they get the results they are looking for and can get me started now asap!

Yay for the first injection! I need to look at my calendar, but I think I'm more than halfway done with my injections.


So, I emailed my IP's and asked if they wanted me to test or wait for the beta. And whether they wanted me to tell them or wait for the clinic to call them. They said they want me to do whatever I want as far as testing and they want to hear it from me. They've been waiting so long for their baby they said do not delay on telling them. It made me so happy to know what a blessing this will be for them. The IF sent me a lovely poem a few weeks ago, too, because I was feeling a little sick from the BCP. They are really sweet people.

Anyone else working with international IP's who speak very little English?

[DKmamato3]

does your protocol not do estrogen/progesterone injections? If so that is nice .. I will have lots and lots on injections in my future :-). My last surrogacy I think I kept up with progesterone through 10 weeks or so ... or were you just thinking about the Lupron injections.

[Serendipity]

Ugh! Now see, this is why I didn't want to join a group. I jinxed it! Got our calendar today and the earliest transfer date is 6/1. Go ahead and take me off the list.

Hasta la vista, monkeys! Good luck to you all!

Nope, I'm only on Lupron injections. Everything else is in pill form. I'm on estrogen 3x a day, and then progesterone will be vaginally 3x a day, but no injections.

Good luck in June!

[luvbothmykids]

Well I finally got my calendar and it is not what I was hoping for. They pushed my transfer to May 31-June 5. I should get a better idea sometime next week. I don't want to leave May. Do I have to?

[tummymommy]

NO, don't leave May!!! A day 5 transfer also puts me at the 31st. Wanna pee with me?

[tummymommy]

Who else already calculated their EDD??? Mine is Valentine's Day, how cool is that! I hope this transfer works. Fingers crossed

[Shyhays]

I didn't get the official calendar yet but my clinic told me that we will more than likely transfer in June. Our contracts are still being worked out and prob will not be finalized until after next week. I'm bummed that I'm not going to stay with the May group.

Wish me luck in June

Best of luck to you girls..... Go monkeys!

[luvbothmykids]

Yes we will pee together!!!! Just so you know though I am a tad obsessed about it once I start though. ;)

[luvbothmykids]

Ok since I am staying in May. I start Lupron on May 5th and Delestrogen on May 19th. I will additional dyes late next week.

Glad to hear your sono looked good Fingers crossed everything else will hurry up!

Thank you! It was definitely a workout! My legs are still sore...lol

When will you know the results?

Poo! Good luck in June!

Good luck in June!

Wow! Luck you for mostly pill form! I am kinda jealous...

Who else already calculated their EDD??? Mine is Valentine's Day, how cool is that! I hope this transfer works. Fingers crossed

Since I don't know the exact day of my IM's retrieval yet, I haven't calculated quite yet, however I sure will once we know for sure!

Sorry you have to move to June, but good luck to ya!!

I am so glad you decided to stay in June! I am updating right after this post

AFM: I started bleeding a little on Friday. I emailed the nurse and said that lots of women have break through bleeding but it is kinda freaking me out. Anyone else have this happen while on only active BCPs? I start Lupron on Sunday. I do not want this bleeding to interfere with anything, dang it!
