After the scan, we were able to sit down and talk to Dr. Shivani in order to ask lingering questions about the rest of the process. We've only done cycles in the past in order to try and get ME pregnant; never to do egg retrieval. I was concerned about basic things like when to come in for the trigger shot, when do I fast, will I be completely unconscious (yes!), will I be in pain afterword and for how long, when does the transfer happen to the surrogate (Monday), when do we meet with the lawyer, etc. Yes, these are all things I've read about, but I just felt more secure having the chance to hear it spoken today. So, tonight, after the surrogate scans, Dr. Shivani will send over surrogate profiles for us to look over. We meet with the lawyer tomorrow to sign the contracts, have my final injections, and then we're on for Thursday's trigger shot!
Last night, we had our final dinner with Aleksandra and Rich (and the twins), as they will be leaving Wednesday night for Canada. Avey and Mia flew in this weekend and joined us to look at the apartment and have dinner. I must say that my favorite part of this journey so far has been meeting other IPs.
