Next steps and surgery 6/30/20

Now that the clinics have re-opened their doors, we are able to get moving again! I traveled down to Yale Fertility on June 5th for lab work and the ultrasound for medical clearance. They saw a small polyp on the scan which they showed no concern about but did suggest having it removed so we can set ourselves up for the best possible outcome for our future transfer.

Now the fun part, trying to get the surgery scheduled. Since so many things have been pushed around and delayed due to COVID, the earliest appointment with our local Fertility clinic is mid-August. I have requested the order be sent to the main hospital to see if they have any sooner openings.
Like I have always said, surrogacy is a game of hurry up and wait!
We cannot start legal contracts until the polyp is removed and am I fully cleared. Luckily there should be no changes to my contract, so that part should be relatively short. Then we wait for my next cycle and can finally get a transfer on the books.

There is no rushing things in surrogacy, but it is definitely not a ride you can sit back and enjoy while waiting for everything to come together. But once you are there on the table, waiting for the transfer, you can finally take a deep breathe, relax and "enjoy the ride". There are moments that make this all worth it, the smile on the IPS face, positive tests, heartbeats, birth and joy. Those are the moments I focus on while waiting.
