Yesterday I finally was able to talk to my doctor about my potential surrogates. He was very happy with both my options but overall felt one was a safer bet. I have contacted said surrogate and we are figuring out what comes next! If everything goes as planned we could be pregnant as soon as July!! What!! We still have a lot to do before that point though. The surrogate has to meet with my doctor, we all have to meet with a counselor to make sure we are mentally ready for this, and we also have to meet with a lawyer to get a contract written up. Once all that is done we can start hormone therapy to prepare my body for the egg harvest and the surrogates body for the transfer. Now is when all the big bills start coming! I mean its going to be about $5000 just in lawyer fees! But I know in the end it will all be worth it when I get to hold my biological child(ren)!
I am beyond excited but I know there is still a very long road ahead! 6 months until conception and then another 9 months till birth! But 15 months is nothing compared to the 9 years we have already waited!

And a HUGE THANK YOU to those that have already donated and/or wished us luck! Without the support of our friends and family this would not be possible!!
