Looks like this one is a go. 13 weeks and counting. 1st trimester screen went well. 1st OB appt went well too. Always strange to transition to the OB upon graduation from the clinic. What? No ultrasound every visit? What, no more hormones to take? It's a good feeling.....
I probably will have gestational diabetes again with this pregnancy. So, I'll have to pay attention to my diet, but that's not a problem. I failed the one hour, but not by much and they didn't require me to fast prior to taking the test.? So, already testing my blood sugar in lieu of taking the three hour test. Really didn't want to take the test - last time I got about 10 sticks instead of the usual 3 due to dehydration, etc. For the recent one hour that I failed - the nurse had a stick me 4 times. I don't give up blood very easily....
So, in a good place now - hoping and praying for a healthy baby to join the crew.

I hope you're doing fine dear! Your blog is so inspiring. I had so many thoughts on my mind before de ivf. It’s much more easier for men to accept this. It will be their child, so why should they worry about such things? To be honest, at first I was completely against de ivf. I thought it’s unnatural and I won’t be able to love a baby of another woman. How stupid I was! This procedure was my only chance to become a mother so I persuaded myself to do it. Now I have no regrets. I look at Sammy and I consider him as my son and no one else's. We had an opportunity to give our doctor list of features we want to see in our donor. We mentioned hair color, nose and face shape, eyes, lips, etc. I should say everyone tells me my son looks like me! We told everyone, even our family, that we had simple ivf. No one can ever tell we used egg donor. Of course I’m grateful to our doctor and that girl, who donated her eggs. I will never forget what they’ve done for us! But I really have no feelings like my son is not genetically related to me or I feel differently toward him. Absolutely no! I love him with my whole heart! As soon as I knew I’m pregnant all my doubts faded away. I carried him, I felt him inside my stomach, I had toxicosis, I sang for him and read fairytales for him, I gave birth to him! He’s my son and only my! We decided we’ll not tell Sammy about egg donor. I think he doesn’t need to know that. I’m his mom and I’ll do everything for him so there will be no need for him to look for donor. Speaking about clinic, we had de ivf in Ukrainian BioTexCom. We had 2 attempts in general. I’ve got pregnant from the first one. The clinic also offers «packages» with 1 or 5 attempts. So we’ve just chosen «package», which suited us the most. I have no regrets! I'm the happiest mom in the whole world!
hi
Surrogacy Clinic Ukraine: Best destination for surrogacy.
I had a very positive experience at a clinic in Eastern Europe. We used anonymous donor eggs. Btw the clinic uses fresh eggs which are exactly what we were looking for.
First cycle was successful and it was a great surprise for us! After multiple failed treatments we almost lost all our hope. So it was an excellent result, which is, of course, partly luck, and partly the skill of the embryologist. Also due to the fact that the donors are ‘proven’ for the programs plus using fresh eggs the result did not make us wait.
I chose the clinic because it offers an anonymous egg donor program. I gave the list of certain features I'd like to see in my donor to my program coordinator. The clinic proposed us 3 donors and we chose one who we liked the most. This was important for me. I felt much happier starting the cycle with a sense of who the donor is.
In terms of the process, I was able to have all the necessary tests done at the clinic in the same visit as the embryo transfer. The procedure couldn’t have been easier. The consultations and the day of the transfer went like clockwork.
Communication with the clinic was very smooth and efficient. The program coordinator speaks excellent English. She answered my questions patiently and clearly. She sent me all the information I needed, organised my transport from the airport and generally made everything very easy. I really felt that I was in good hands. Dr. also speaks excellent English and explained everything clearly. She was very warm and friendly, and I was glad to have her as my doctor. I felt the consultation was thorough, and I had complete confidence in her.
In fact, all the staff I met at the clinic were welcoming and helpful. I felt very comfortable and relaxed there, and there was a positive atmosphere each time I visited.
I'm pregnant and I've never been happier before! I had a very good experience at the clinic.
Nice article..
