Thumbs up for now!

I went to the clinic today for my consultation with the doctor. She was very nice...actually, everyone there was very nice. It was refreshing finally going to a doctor where the staff actually seem to care about you!!

We sat down and went over my medical records, over the process of surrogacy, what this journey would entail, etc. She wasn't concerned with any of the minor problems I had during my pregnancy. The only concern she had was the laporoscopy and hysteroscopy I had prior to getting pregnant with Shayla. She just wants to be sure that I don't have any major scar tissue build up in my uterus and/or tubes. I asked her why the tubes mattered since I was being a gestational carrier, not a traditional carrier and she said they most likely wouldn't make a difference. However, she would like to err on the side of caution and check them anyway; she said in very rare instances a woman with blocked tubes could have fluid build-up which could eventually leak into the uterus and cause problems for a pregnancy. Sooo, lucky me, I get to go for 2 not-so-fun tests in one day - woohoo! :-P I'm pretty sure the doctors exact words were "a day of torture" - haha!!

As long as everything goes well on Wednesday, we will be moving forward. The doctor said she sees no problem with syncing my cycle with the egg donors cycle for a late April transfer - yippee!! M&M could become daddies as early as January!!! :-D
