Just when you think you have all your ducks are in a row, one waddles off. June turned out to be a very stressful month. To make a long story short, all my prenatal records needed to be sent to my intended parent’s fertility clinic for them to review and accept me for further testing. They received my file, but unfortunately it was only my delivery records. No problem, I call my OB to get my records sent again…well, there was a problem. They implemented a new computer system and scanned each file in to their system by hand. My file was scanned in, but scanned in wrong. MY FILE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. This led me on a wild goose chase trying to track down my file from CKMC (which most of you know is now closed). Multiple calls later, and the lady in the medical records at St. Rose she thinks she may have found my file. But it would have to be ordered and she only works one day a week, so I had to wait for the following week. Patience most certainly at that point was hurting me. I had St. Rose on speed dial the following week and blew up the medical records line until I finally got a call back. They had my file! So I had to get it sent to the clinic and wait for a call on my acceptance.
I finally got the call and I’m set to have my one day workup tomorrow! For those of you curious what a workup looks like for a surrogate this is my schedule for Monday.
11:00- Labs
11:30 Psychologist consult
12:30 Personality Assessment Inventory
1:00 Baseline Ultrasound and Doppler
1:30 Nurse Consultation/Consents
2:45 Hysteroscopy, Annual & Regroup with Physician
I’m so incredibly anxious to get this appointment done. Fingers crossed the reproductive endocrinologist deems me worthy to carry their embryos. If all goes well it will take 7-10 days to get all my labs back. From there we contract with our intended parents, get a ton of medications, and a transfer date! I can only imagine how anxious my intended momma feels. If you feel inclined to say a little prayer that things go beyond well Monday and results come back maybe a little faster, we all would appreciate it.
My next post should be full of exciting news, so stay tuned!
