Almost there..
So my IM went in for an ultrasound today and it showed 8 follicles. She only has one ovary so they were very happy with that. He bloodwork and everything came back good. I also went in for my Bloodwork and it came back good. And we both started our periods like we were suppose to. We get the rought draft of the contract tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be signed by the end of next week. So everything is going so smoothly!! We are all so happy and can't wait for the transfer!!

my period!!
UGH!!! I have never had this happen before. I am usually clock work. I have not started my period yet. I am on cycle day 36 or something like that. I have taken a couple pregnancy tests to rule that out and they are all negative thank GOD!! I do not want another baby. I am thinking that it is stress making it late. I was stressed out about two weeks ago. Hoping that is all it is. I have heard of ladies skipping a period and stuff. It just never happened to me. MY RE put me on Provera to see if that will bring it on. I have heard it is used to make it delay and used to bring it on. Hopefully for me it brings it on!! I need to start by Saturday the Nurse Coordinator said in order to make the June Transfer. So please please please if you have the Witch send her my way!!!!

we got the news that we are doing a June transfer!! Woohoo. My calendar says about the 12th of June. Since it is a fresh transfer it can of course change by a few days. I am just so happy to have the ball rolling. And my IM is over the moon. We meet for dinner Sunday and I can't wait. I am suppose to start BCP Sunday. But need my period first. So fingers crossed that it cooperates and gets here by tomorrow night!!! We are trying to get contracts done asap. We have been going over everything and hope to have it done in a couple weeks. My IP's meet with there lawyer Wednesday so he should get things going then. Just wanted to let everyone know the game plan!!.

Matched
I found another couple that lives close to me. Not in the same town though. But within 35 mins. So very close still. They are very excited and so am I. We find out from the RE if we do a June or August transfer. My IM has one ovary so she does not produce many eggs. So the Dr. is deciding on doing a retrieval in June and then freezing them and doing another in August. That way if she does not get enough then we will have both transfer to make sure there is some for transfer. But the dr is thinking it over and letting us know tomorrow or Friday if he thinks we should do a June transfer and if he thinks we will have enough. He is putting her on a higher dose then the last RE did. So hopefully we get more. I am hoping he wants to shoot for June. I am ready to get this journey going. We have been getting along so good!! IM and I have met and not this Sunday we are meeting up at there place for dinner and this time with the husbands :). We are gonna go over a lot of contract stuff so that we can get that going and finished. We are using the same RE as I did with the twins parents. And we are using the same lawyers. Maybe that will bring us good luck. LOL. Just wanted to update all of you!!

Looking...
So I posted an ad and have had lots of responses already!! It's sad all the couples that need help. And I can only try to help one couple.. And to my surprise there are a few in my state which I did not expect. So now I keep talking to them and see who ends up being a good match with me. Just wanted to update you all.
