Christmas for Surrogates

I’m SO excited today!!  The FedEx man showed up with a box and I could not have been happier.  Here is what I received:

My box of IVF meds!  Woot!

Here is a quick run down of what it takes to get pregnant with another woman’s child.

• Lots of syringes and various gauge needles
• Antibiotics
• Steroids
• Injectable Progesterone (hormones)
• Vaginal Progesterone
• Injectable Estrogen (more hormones)
• Lupron
• Folic Acid

Look at those 25 gauge needles!  Yikes!

I’ll be taking that puppy in the ass.  Aren’t you jealous?

Oh look.  MORE needles.

So you are probably asking “why the hell is THAT like Christmas?”  Because it means I am one step closer to giving the ultimate gift to a wonderful family and for that I am the one truly blessed.  And being this blessed, is like Christmas.
