Well, it has begun! I started my IM injections of estrogen 10 days ago and I'm scheduled for a transfer on September 22nd, 23rd or 24th. That's if everything goes perfectly with the egg donor and my uterus. So may things have to fall perfectly into place for this to work. It's amazing that we have figured out a way to bring 2 totally different women together to make a baby. I guess we should mention there is a man involved the intended father has a little something to do with this making of a baby, physically his part is easy, emotionally though I'm sure he's at least a little stressed out for it all to go well and to have a healthy baby/babies!
The IM injections aren't too bad to give myself. In fact i barely feel them, the next day though my butt definitely hurts. They also give me headaches and yes I'm super emotional. Way more than when I was on the oral Estrogen. My life has been super hectic lately, lots of bad news (nothing related to surrogacy), trying to sell my house, just a lot all at once. My brain is in overload, and the hormones on top of that aren't helping any!
Once I hear the OK I'll start progesterone IM then shortly after it'll be transfer time!! I can't wait to be pregnant and off the meds. I'm still usually a little hormonal when I'm pregnant but not as bad as this! Hopefully, my next post will be from my hotel room in LA while I'm on bedrest from my transfer!!!
