The latest and Greatest News!

I have so much to update since our trip to California in April.  We ended up doing IVF with my eggs and our donor.  We were keeping the focus on our donor, but I ended up responding better, so we ended up transferring 3 really good quality embryos to our surrogate.  We froze 3 of our donor embryos and 2 of mine.  We were very optimistic that this would work. Unfortunately we did not get the news we were so hoping for.  Our 6th BFN.  I was heartbroken and angry.  I cried for 2 days straight and was concerned I wouldn't ever feel my normal happy self again.  By Wednesday I was feeling back to myself.  Still up and down, but I knew there is no sense in sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
I talked with Dr. Boostanfar and he felt the embryos must not have been healthy.  Our plan was to move forward with our frozen embryos, we would plan for a day 3 transfer with our donor and if hers don't make it then we would do mine 2 days later.  June 3rd was here before we knew it and only 2 of our donors embryos made it, one looking good and one fair.  After speaking with Dr. B we decided to see if they make it to Day 5 and if not then we would transfer mine.  Well, day 5 is Sunday, the day of my sister's baby shower that I'm hosting.  God, are you really testing my emotional state or what?  Dr. B called at noon and said our donor embryos did not make it, but mine look great.  I had such mixed emotions, because mine have always looked good, but never work and now we went thru all that with our donor for nothing.  I was just praying that God's plan is for us to have our own bio baby and not to have to worry about what to do with left over embryos.  As I was rushing around getting ready for the guests to arrive I wiped the tears out of my eyes...I didn't want anything to distract from my sister's special day.  
Our surrogate called tonight and she has had positive home pregnancy tests since Thursday night.  I feel so thankful.  I keep telling myself one day at a time and today is a very joyful day.  We have our first blood test on Monday.
