Flights are booked

So we have set the wheels in motion to go back to India, thankfully we have both had our leave approved and I have booked my flight.

I will be flying out on Saturday 23rd April and Mark will meet me there 4 or 5 days later, should be an interesting few days for me without him but seeing as it will be heading into the hottest part of the year I'm thinking I will be chilling in my hotel in the air con a fair it.

I have decided to stay in a hotel almost right next door to Phoenix Hospital and not too far away from Surrogacy Centre India offices where I will be going daily for injections, again!! Not looking forward to that part but no pain no gain so they say. Once Mark gets there we will go back to the B&B we stayed in on the first trip.

So the plan is to start the medication on Monday 25th April and egg retrieval will be around the 5th or 6th May, then we will fly home on the 9th so much shorter trip this time but hopefully we will have some time to do a bit more sightseeing around Delhi.

Currently Dr Shivani has about 80 babies due between now and the end of October and quite a few of those are Aussies, here's hoping we will be added to the list of impending births.

We probably won't have much to update between now and when we go again but keep checking in just in case, lastly thank you to everyone for all of your love and support you have showed us both over the last 6 weeks and especially during the last week or so, it means a lot to know that everyone is behind us as we travel on this often bumpy road to parenthood, we couldn't do it without you all.

The results are in....

Sadly, we received news today that our surrogate G's pregnancy test was negative.

So what is the next step? Well not giving up that's for sure! So we are currently making plans to go back to India and try again. After emailing with Dr Shivani, we will make a few changes to the medication and hope to get a better outcome with the egg retrieval, fingers crossed.

So stay tuned for the next update, hopefully in the next week or so we should have some dates in place for the next trip.
