Amber here. Since my impressions are solely based on email and skype updates my perspective of the Kiran clinic definitely comes with a grain of salt. Brian met with Dr. Sammit again today and called me on the telephone so I could listen in to the meeting. Brian and I had a list of questions that he patiently went through with us. It turns out that we will not get to choose our surrogate here, instead the doctor has several surrogates that cycle at the same time and he determines the most appropriate ones based on their endometrial lining. Brian and I are both perfectly happy with this arrangement since in our three previous attempts, we had to use an emergency backup surrogate twice anyway. It makes a lot of sense to us to let the decision be based on who is best suited and we are entirely and forever grateful to whomever agrees to be our surrogate in the end.
We are both also delighted that our first choice of egg donors is available and has agreed to work with us. We were provided about 18 possible donor profiles which consisted of slightly pixelated photos and brief bios that were similar to the ones provided by the Rotunda clinic. Since we have been through this process before with poor results, our number one criteria for selecting a donor was to find somebody who had been through the IVF process previously had good response to the medications, produced good quality eggs and resulted in a positive pregnancy. It turns out our donor has.
It looks like our egg retrieval will be sometime between January 28th and February 2nd. Dr. Sammit said all our labs look good and everything is ready. We should hopefully end up with around 10 embryos and they normally do the embryo transfer on day 2 or 3 depending on their quality.
