And We're Off!

Yesterday was a great day in the surrogacy world-we had two big movements! I went for my third week of blood testing yesterday morning and got a call from one of the Brigham nurses afterwards saying it's time for me to start the birth control pill! This news means two things: 1) From what they can tell, my ovaries are working perfectly-my hormones are cycling just like all you other ladies out there 2) They now have control of my hormones (as well as Laura's) which is crucial in getting us ready to start our injections. Holly was on vacation last week but, now that I've started the pill, I'll hopefully hear from her Monday or Tuesday regarding our next steps. Since our original plan was to start injections in March for an April transfer, things seem to be right on track! The second piece of news is that Laura's lawyer (Ruth) completed the contract and will be sending it back to our lawyer for review. The way this works is that our lawyer (Leslie) drafted the original contract after speaking with Thom & I, which was then sent to Ruth. Ruth then reviewed the contract with Laura & Calvin, made necessary changes, and finalized it to be sent back to Leslie. Now that Leslie has the contract back, she'll review it again with us. Laura said that they didn't make any significant changes to the contract so I'm thinking we're nearing the final draft. Big news! So, that's about it for today. March used to seem so far away and now it right around the corner-yay!
