Wow!! Time is sure flying by! Today, I was thinking back to the beginning of this journey. When I first thought about becoming a surrogate, I had no idea the who, the what and the when. There were an infinite number of unknowns and the thought that many of us have when they have a dream of doing something...
"This will never happen to me"
But here we are just 2 weeks out and my body is just as the doctors at ORM were hoping it to be. I had an ultrasound today to measure the lining of my uterus and it is thick and sticky. All ready for those sweet little embryos to grab on and thrive!! After the ultrasound, my doctor tears off a piece of paper and hands it to me. What was it you ask? A beautiful picture of my uterus!
Isn't it cute!?! Hahaha!! I am so lucky to have this beauty to hang on my fridge! ;)
I also had my blood drawn at my appointment today. This was to check my estrogen levels. As some of you make remember from an earlier post, my estrogen level was at 13. I am happy to say that my levels are at a hearty 328 with the help of the Delestrogen injections. I am feeling soooo much better with lowering the Lupron and the increasing Delestrogen. I will do those injections for another week and a half and then stop the Lupron and start the Progesterone injections. Those will continue until I am 12 weeks pregnant.
I asked what my chances are of becoming pregnant vs. not becoming pregnant with my body being exactly like they are hoping it tobe. This is what she said:
"I do not have any percentages for you, but what I can tell you is that your chances of becoming pregnant are very very high."
Eeeeeeek!!! So excited for the weeks to come and to hopefully deliver amazing news to the intended parents!
