I think I've found her


Well, I think I have my perfect surrogate for our embryos in Vegas.  The lady who I wrote about in my prior post and I have now exchanged many e-mails and pictures.  She really seems like the right one to do this for DH and I and she said she feels like we are the IP's she's been waiting for.    It's the same situation as with my last surrogate where I feel like she is someone I could be friends with.  That's the kind of relationship I'd ideally like to have with the person who might possibly be carrying our child.  I'd like for it to be more than just a business transaction.    I know there are some IP's and surrogates out there who do operate under those terms and who actually prefer it that way.  That's just not something I'm very comfortable with.  
We'll be talking on the phone today and my husband will be out in Vegas for work next week so they will try to get together for a cup of coffee.

We will still have to get the DQ Alpha matching test run on her before we can proceed with having a contract done or anything else.  At best, I would think we're looking at a July transfer. It will more likely be August but we're aiming for July.

Now the question is should I do another fresh cycle and, if so, when?  The earliest I could even do a fresh cycle would be July so I'm thinking it makes more sense to have the transfer done in Vegas and see what results then do another cycle if necessary.   Yet, the issue there is my Dr. only has upcoming cycles in July, Aug, and Oct.   So, if the transfer failed and I wanted to do another cycle, by that point in time I wouldn't be able to do it until Oct.; 1 month away from turning 39.  Cripes, it seems like I just barely turned 38.  Where did the time go? 

I also would strongly prefer to transfer 2 tested embryos to her if possible instead of just the 1 tested and 2 untested.  The thing is, based on what happened last time, there is a decent chance we wouldn't even get any normal embryos again.  And, to be honest, I'm just not feeling like I have another cycle in me right at the moment.  I still don't feel 100 percent recovered from the last one.  Yet, October is a long time to wait when egg quality is rapidly declining even further. 

I don't know what to do. :{
