Yesterday I had my medical screening. This was the next "Big" appointment I have been waiting for. This is the appointment where the take you blood and urine samples, from both Surro and her Significant other. They do a hysteroscopy to look at my uterus and make sure it looks good to carry a baby. I was so excited for this day and made sure that I was prepared to go. We drove 2 hours to the Medical Office, which seems like a LONG time, but actually it was a beautiful day out. The weather was perfect, sunny, in the upper 70's to low 80's with a nice breeze. There was a long stretch of road where we could see the ocean and the beach. It was really peaceful. Anyhow we got there and filled out all the paperwork, did the blood draw, urine samples and met with the Doctor. He is super great. Direct, to the point, funny and calm. He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, which made me feel good that I have done my homework. He asked if I had meet the intended parents and I told him that I only spoke with the Mother. He told me they are absolutely lovely and I will really like them. They have been waiting a long time for this and he is happy I am ready to go. The Hysteroscopy was like getting a pap smear, very simple and fast. He said that I look great!! No problems and my uterus is ready to bake a cupcake or two!!! Wooooo Hooooo. I am very happy, excited and ready to go. I got to pick up my "Party Bag" to get started. It was filled with birth control to help sync my cycle with the donor, prenatal pills to start taking and baby aspirin to help with blood flow. I will start all of these on Sunday June 1st. Then on June 18th I will start with my first round of shots. June 20th I will stop my birth control pills. June 30th I will start another shot (it's hard to read his writing so I can't tell the name) Then have a couple of lining checks on July 7th and July 14th, Transfer will be around July 20th!! I am so thrilled to be doing this and to finally have a DATE!!! I was hoping for July because being pregnant in the winter time is the best. I am my own heater and there is all kinds of yummy food to enjoy. I am so excited to think that this couple is going to have a baby in a year to hug, hold, snuggle, kiss, love, smell, watch and enjoy.
Afterwards we went out to eat and then drove home after traffic. The sky looked amazing with a beautiful sunset.
and a few more miles down we saw some hot air balloons.
It really was a perfect day. I just know that this is going to work the first try and be an amazing experience to give to someone else. I can't wait to help this family GROW!!!
