Sunday start

I officially placed my first patch today for the mock cycle. I am hoping I will not see many side effects from this. I do have a headache but I am not associating that with the patch just yet - seems a bit early! What I can assume is my headache is from working non-stop at my sewing machine the past two days getting Christmas dresses done for 2 of my kids. We go see our favorite Santa next week (I refuse to step foot in a mall after Thanksgiving!) so I wanted to have their dresses done. Maybe I can crank out two tunics for Thanksgiving since Christmas outfits are done so early! I am dying to try a new pattern. I might not have mentioned I love sewing - something about picking out fabrics, trims, the perfect pattern and watching it all come together with each stitch. And my kids love anything mama-made still so I am going to do this as long as they will let me!! Anyways - we will see if the headaches continue tomorrow!

So as I said in the start - I started the meds for my mock cycle today. Yay. I will have a blood draw on the 13th and an ultrasound and blood draw on the 21st to see how things are going! I am crossing my fingers that we will be in a good place after this first cycle and will not need to run a second to make any additional changes!

I am a part of a great group of surrogates and we have a group chat once a month. We just had our call this month and it was fun to see where everyone was at in their journey! Some pregnant and nearing the end, some just finished transfer, and some like me - are at the start! It is really nice to have that support though to go along with our other support systems!

Until next time!
