6th day on IVF Medication

I wanted to do this blog mainly so our child can see we really tried and we really love him. I see blogs regarding the Gestational Surrogates or Surrogates in general. Yes I understand you are putting your body through a lot for someone else. We are grateful.
But, what about the parents who cant have? When i was told the statistics on me trying to carry a child I was deeply saddened and felt my world shatter. Then, i realized this can still happen. My husband and I can still produce just . . . I can not be the oven, as a friend tells me.

This journey of our started Spring 2014. Appointments with OB/GYN, Nephrologist and of course Fertility Specialist via a Clinic. It was completely overwhelming but I have always wanted a child. People keep telling me hey, you can still adopt. But i am fertile and our "stuff" works, why can't we just be. I started working with a Clinic after my appointment with Maternal Fetal Medicine which gave me horrible news: Due to my Kidney Transplant Nov. 2010 I will put my transplanted kidney at risk if i birth and carry a child.

I hope that our Gestational Carrier will like to blog or at least write because I will never experience having a child in me and birthing one. I want to know everything. But step by step, I say "phases".

MENOPUR^® (menotropins for injection) is a prescription medicine that contains hormones. MENOPUR contains follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity. These hormones stimulate healthy ovaries to make eggs.
            b) Hormone meds along with control med. (Cetrotide).
Cetrotide® (cetrorelix acetate for injection) is indicated for the inhibition of premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation.
