It looks like we are pregnant!
The Kiran Clinic transfered 5 embryos on March 22. This was our fifth India surrogacy attempt, the third with donor eggs and the first with frozen embryos. Five embryos survived thawing; 2 grade A, 1 grade B, and 2 grade C. Friday night, late on April 2 (day 12 past the transfer), we got a call from Dr. Samit and Rudy with Planet Hospital. They did a blood test and the HCG result is 112, which is very promising.
We are very excited! We know that this is just the beginning of a long journey toward a baby. There have been a lot of disappointments up until now and it is incredible to think that there finally is an indication that we might actually have a real pregnancy. We are focusing on the positive and praying for the best!
Amber & Brian,
ReplyDeletecongratulations!
At our current clinic anything over 50 is promising, anything over 100 means you are pregnant!
Enjoy, i can't wait to hear about your healthy gestational sacs & heartbeats!
What a brilliant Easter surprise,
Yipee!!! Told you it would happen :) hehe. Honestly, we are so very happy for your two - enjoy these next 9 months, and hopefully we'll be there with you soon :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! That's amazing! You sneaky things...I didn't know you were doing a frozen transfer (have I missed a post?).
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so happy for you both. Anything over 100 is very, very promising. :)
It's about time you two got lucky. Can't wait to hear about those doubling betas and meet your little one thru USs and pics.
YAY!!!

Yay, yay and YAY!!! Your tenacity has paid off and you are truly an inspiration to others. You've definitely demonstrated that goals are achievable if you keep your eye on the prize and make whatever alterations you need to along the way. We are both seriously happy for you two (three!) and hope the next nine months are the most boring ever.

P.S. You know if you get a movie screen to block the light in the nursery it can double up for Disney flicks!
Currently being used for South Park and the Soup. Hopefully that will be changing soon!
