Transfer #3 was a BIG bust...got Beta back yesterday and it came in at a whopping 1!
Was really hoping this was "the ONE" for IP's. No such luck.
Now were off for a break til June/July'ish...so I'm back to running and ganna try and shed this extra weight the hormones have gladly given me!
Thinking lots of positive thoughts as I prepare for our next leg in our journey!

3x3x3= SuPeR LuCk!!!!
After a LOOOOOOOOONG drive to downtown Toronto (left at 6:25am rolled in at 11am!) We got to Create...just on time!!!
I meet with an acupuncturist who has restored my faith in acupuncture. He used little needles and this gentle tapping technique and it was *gasp* r-e-l-a-x-i-n-g!!!
Then came the waiting game...acupuncture was all done with by 12:30, and I was feeling all warm and fuzzy and enjoying my relaxing huge massage chair...but didn't get in for the transfer until 3... was scheduled for 12:30
(...oh fertility clinics...)
But here's the cool thing:
Transfer was at 3pm, 3rd try & 3 embabies!!
Here's Hoping this is a super lucky sign!!!
2 week wait begins now...send me all your positive vibes and happy energy...grow babies grow!!

Mini update!
So ladies and gents...
My IP's had a very successful visit with Dr.L last week...he is quite confident that we are getting so close to successfully carrying that he wants to keep trying with IM's eggs!!! Which hello- AMAZING news for them!!!
So we are back on Estrace and baby asprin and scheduled to do a lining check for April 8th and IP's are hoping for a transfer for the Tuesday after that...
I took a break from the acupuncture as I was officially starting to look like a bruised peach and felt it was stressing me out more than helping our cause.
So we are booking a mini acupuncture session for my transfer where we will use the 3 remaining frozen embabies!! *fingers crossed* this is the ONE!!! (3rd times the charm right!?!)
*IF* this transfer doesn't work we are going to give it one more shot...and IM will harvest more eggs and do a fresh transfer come june/july'ish....either way they are harvesting eggs so they can give baby bean a sibling in the future!!
Lots of positive energy come from this surro-mamma here!!!
Can't wait to update with GREAT news....LET the roller coaster begin!!!
Cheers!!!

Not so much...
We did a transfer of 5 em-babies 3 weeks ago and things we're going great!! Our levels came in at 135 originally...which was AWESOME!!! Then 3 days later they came in at only 30 more...and today we got the dreaded news that we are all the way down to 59....which means we went from WOOOO we're pregnant!!! Let's celebrate...to whoops...we're not....All within a week...
So now to wait and see what Dr.L tells IP's to do. They have an appointment on Thursday and I will have to wait and see what he says....*fingers crossed* we're going to try again!!!
((hugs)) to my IP's...this is quite the roller coaster for them...I hope we can come to wonderful end to the journey soon!

The waiting game...
Its been a week and a bit since my DNC and my hormones are finally starting to feel like they are some what "normal" (whatever "normal" is!) But James says I am much happier and not blowing up over little things! Man those hormones are a killer!!!
So now we are on a waiting games...times seems to be moving slowing in the surrogacy journey now, because I am impatiently waiting another shot at getting prego!!
I have booked an acupuncture appointment with a 70 year old man who has been practicing Chinese and natural medicine for a VERY LONG time!! I am so excited to go for my appointment to get poked and prodded and improve our chances of making this baby(ies) stick!!!!

With a heavy heart...
It's with a heavy heart that I share, that my surro-babe grew wings today.
We went in for our 9weeks and 5days ultrasound to discover that the little bean had no heart beat.
It has been such a roller coaster, but the eternal optimist in me, never expected such bad news. As the tech told us today that the baby was dead, my heart sunk and the room seemed to stand still. It was shocking.
We are now awaiting for the baby to pass, and to get another period and then we are going to try again. There will be a happy ending to this journey, now we just have to wait a little bit longer.
Sweet dreams surro-babe.
