I thought I'd better post a quick update.
We were matched with another wonderful donor family a few weeks ago. All of the paperwork has been signed and turned in so now we have officially adopted more embryos.
It's amazing how we have been matched with three wonderful families. I can't believe it. Every time its a miracle. I still find it hard to believe that there are families out there willing to let infertile couples adopt their remaining embryos so that they have a shot at growing their family.
I truly feel God's guiding hand in all aspects of this.
Our transfer is on November 15.
I started my lupron injections yesterday. I've been on lovenox since I started birth control over a month ago.
Milestone appointments:
I have an ultrasound on 10/27 to make sure everything is quiet, then another on 11/10 to make sure my lining is building up for our little babies to snuggle in.
Feelings:
My heart and mind are feeling pretty quiet right now. I'm excited, but I'm also guarded. I feel so grateful that we get to try again. I'm praying that my body responds well to the protocol and we are cleared to proceed at each checkpoint.
It really is a small miracle to even make it to transfer day.
I'm currently trying to go two to sessions of acupuncture a week. I've started to drink my raspberry leaf tea and I'm painfully weaning myself off of coffee. I'm down to one small half cup each morning.
I just need that hot zap of caffeine and sugar.
If you are an embryo donor, thank you!
