Woohoo!!!

Today is June 14 and CD 12. We have completed our insems for this cycle and hopefully for this journey!!! I am very hopeful as we had GREAT CM! All my body needs to do now is ovulate and that little eggie will be bombarded with tons of sperm in waiting! LOL! I am very hopeful! I have one pregnancy test in my closet and I vow not to touch it until 14 days post O. We will see if I can resist. Hee hee! I will update as soon as I have news!

New cycle and hopefully a new beginning!

Well, I am on CD 12 today (June 14). I have been getting lots of ferning on my saliva monitor and my CM is nice and stretchy too. Woohoo! I am fertile!!! So, yesterday, I called my guys, S. and F. and we were to go to TO for insems this cycle (my family and I). We all thought it would be a nice change of pace and that we would have a chance to see S. and F.'s home and restaurant. The details did not pan out so S. came to us instead. F. could not come because he was nursing a very sore pulled muscle and driving would have been too uncomfortable. So, S. has been here since Tuesday afternoon and we have already done 2 insemminations!!! We were delighted as well as he joined us for supper and we had such a lovely visit. Have I mentionned that I have the best IFs ever there was? They are simply wonderful men and I know what excellent fathers they will be. I am so proud and thrilled that I have been chosen by them to help them in their endevour. S. gave us such a nice compliment at dinner tonight. He said that we have beautiful and happy children and that they are so well-behaved. I was so thrilled because I wanted to be a stay-at-home Mama so that my children could feel secure and feel well cared for. I guess it worked! If I ever get a job it will only be to have more money for my family. My career is at home and with my children. I love being a Mama.

S. has decided to stay another day in Windsor so that we can do another set of insems. I am so glad as this will only increase our chances of conceiving! I am so hopeful for this cycle as my CM is just awesome!!! I'd even go as far as saying it is perfect! As long as I ovulate within the next few days, I am very confident that we will conceive a healthy baby and have a healthy pregnancy. S. and I had a nice heart to heart today. It was so special to me. We shared feelings and thoughts regarding our journey and it made me feel all-the-more that I have chosen to do this for such wonderful people. I love being a surrogate! It is definitely a passion of mine!

...more to follow later!

Update

Ok. Even though I got 2 positives on HPTs, I am not pregnant. :( I went to the doctor's and he sent me for blood work. The blood test (B-hCG) came back negative. I was disappointed and a bit confused given the HPT positives. I won't be buying that brand again. Actually, I think it may have been a chemical pregnancy. Oh well, now it is time to focus on our next try!!!

Oh my goodness!!!

Ok, I am so very excited!!! I started bleeding 3 days ago and naturally thought it was my period and was SO disappointed thinking that once again, we were not pregnant. However, I stopped bleeding after only 2 days which I thought was quite odd as I usually bleed for 4 days and then spot on the fifth day. Also, recently in my surrogacy group, another TS found out after 2 months that she was pregnant!!! She had had 2 "periods" and so did not think that she was pregnant. I figured that I should test just to make sure that I was indeed not pregnant. So I took a test today and I got a sliver of a line. I thought I was crazy and surely that couldn't be a line!!! So, I waited 4 more hours and didn't drink anything so that I could concentrate my urine and I took another pregnancy test. It was positive!!! WOOHOO!!! The line was very light but it was unmistakenly there!!! I am being cautiously excited until I see a heartbeat on an u/s. I called my guys S. and F. tonight at 11:15 pm and woke them up. Hee hee! (Sorry guys!) I told S. the news and he was excited although he is being cautious as well. He said he would tell F. the good news as well! I love my guys so much-they are such wonderful men! They will make a wonderfull Daddy and Papa!!! I hope this little baby is going to stick around for the long haul!!! Woohoo!!!
