Well it is 6 days after our wonderful 5 day embryo transfer.
In Surrogate lingo that 6dp5dt. I have taken tests every single day…okay okay
some days I took 2. I have had an extra pink (positive) line every day since
day 2. It started off very faint, almost too hard to see but it was defiantly an
extra line and slowly but surly, every day that like has become darker and more
visible. The official test is Friday but I think we are safe to say that one or
both of these little embryos stuck around! Some experienced surrogates are
hinting that because I got such an early positive that it just might be
twinsies! We hope! But we will be perfectly happy with one healthy baby too! I
have such an amazing circle of surrogate friends that I have connected with
recently, most of us have transfer dates within a few days of each other, it has
been amazing to go through this all with people who completely understand, with
no judgment! I often feel like I am not allowed to voice the not so beautiful
parts of this surrogacy like the typical pregnancy ailments and how incredibly
sore and bruised my backside is 24/7. I feel like there are a few people who
are unsure of this and with that comes an automatic sense of dislike for what I
am doing. Those are the people who say things like “well you ASKED for this!”
or “what did you think you were getting into?” when I mention the hot flashes
or the extreme tiredness. I am not complaining at all when I voice these things,
in fact these ailments are all a part of it and I love it. Any women who plans
a pregnancy goes into it expecting the typical discomforts of pregnancy, and I
am the same. I am just not keeping the physical reward at the end of it. That
is why I absolutely love having all my surro sisters who are amazing! They know
what’s going on, the ups and downs and ins and outs of this amazing journey. Regardless of who thinks what, I am so full of
joy and love (and babies) I would not trade this experience for anything! Please
