Future hope for infertility? Womb transplants explored

Very interesting idea!   While this seems extreme to some, many of us know we'll do just about anything to have a baby, and to have it in the way we chose.   Thoughts?

Great early morning news!

Today was the day for J&M's first beta following their FET.  I couldn't sleep so I logged in at 3:30 am to see if there was any news, and sure enough within five minutes of logging in, there's a brightly lit colorful note from Neha.  BIG congratulations this time! Item Thumbnail 
Beta is 573.99!!!  Amazing number 10 days past blast transfer.   So, do you think I waited til a more respectable hour to call them with the news?   Of course not, woke them up and got to squeal in delight with my sister.   VERY COOL!  It's the most fantastic thing to get to tell someone you love so much news like this!  About HER!  Sure, they would have gotten the email in a few hours, but hey, I'm the AUNT, and darn it, I wanted to get to tell J!  Yes, I know, it's early in the game yet, but damn it, THIS TIME I'm going to just GO WITH IT, not OVER ANALYZE, and be relaxed and THRILLED for J&M.   I don't think any of us who deal with infertility and/or miscarriage breathe until the baby (or in this case BABIES?!?) are born and safe in waiting arms, but man, this is just totally awesome news and we should be able to celebrate a little bit, right?

It is now 7:12 am Dallas time, and I've not gone back to sleep.   Is it too early for champagne???  

(I think Neha's colors are rubbing off on me)!!!

Hope everyone doing well!

Eggs a coming...

Egg retrieval set for the 11th, we're all hoping that J&M's donor is doing well and full of wonderfully developing follicles.   Next step is the selection of the Surrogate.  Should have the profiles in the next day or so, but I wish we could just ask Dr. Shivani to pick the best candidate based on her endometrial lining and "child birthing" hips.   In reality, we all know the hips don't play as much of a role as the lining, which is important when it comes to implantation of embryos, still it's one of those things that we think about.   I have excellent child birthing hips, but still ended up with c-sections.

Our kiddos are still down in NC hanging out with my parents and J&M.   J&M are so amazing with our kids and I know that they are going to make excellent parents.   We have some news on our home front, we are moving from Maine to Dallas, TX at the end of this month, so we have a flurry of activity going on at the house, yard sales, purging of junk, and I start packing today.  Movers come on the 18th, and we depart Maine on the 20th to go pick up our kiddos and make the long drive down to TX.  

Very busy time for all of us!  Hope that everyone is doing well.
