So as of today I have received and approved the final contract. Now they just need to write a final draft and we all sign or lives away. I can't wait for this part to be over! Doing all the paperwork and contracts stuff is so boring and it take SOOO long. There were a few new things in this contract as opposed to my old contract that I found interesting. Like for one- I never thought to put a price on the potential loss of reproductive organs. It makes sense, if I was to end up needing a hysterectomy due to this pregnancy than I would need something to deal with the repercussions. I'm assuming I would need hormone treatment for the rest of my life, but I really don't know much on this subject. Also I never thought to get extra life insurance for the intended parents to receive if something were to happen to me AND the baby(s). So that was nice to see them covered as well. Not that anything would ever happen. The rest was just bla bla bla, legal jargon.
So here I am, insurance is approved and contract is ready to be signed on Monday. Next is the medical portion. I fly out to be evaluated by the chosen fertility doc. After that I get put on birth control and once my periods are synced with the egg donor I start with the other hormone therapy. I'm hoping that everything goes well and we can do this asap. Maybe as soon as end of November. Fingers crossed. One thing I learned from the last pregnancy is that we should never expect it to happen in a certain amount of time. Patience is key. My last journey took 3 transfers to happen. So from the time I met my baby daddies to the time I had the twins it took us 2 1/2 years.
I have a slight goal in mind. I would like to transfer the embryos by the first week of December. This way I have just the right amount of time to have the next baby(s) right before my son goes back to school. I would rather all the moms at my sons school NOT know I'm being a surrogate again. Last time it was so hard to drop him off and pick him up without everyone and their mother wanting to talk to me. It was awesome having that much support, but I would like to be more than a walking womb this time. I've told one of the moms so far and she's pretty excited that I'm doing it again, but I know she will have more than a pregnancy conversation with me too.
I've also slowly told my family again. I waited until I was matched with my new couple and knew for sure that I was doing it. I was going to wait till I was 3 months pregnant but I can't keep a secret to save my life. I can't keep a secret and I'm the worlds worst lire.
