Meeting the Famous Dr. S

Today was a big day. My first appointment at SCI went well. We met Dr. S and she answered all my questions and gave us a tour of the facility. I'm now comfortable my $ isn't going to some unmarked house on some side street in Delhi! She's got some operation - I was impressed. We met accountants, lawyers, etc. and even caught a glimpse of a few surrogates. She even told me she's expecting our donor to give us a large number of eggs! I know this is only the first step but I'll celebrate where I can! Seems like Monday will be collection day so we should know for sure then. Next up is choosing the surrogate but I think we're gonna leave that to the Dr.

We are having a great time meeting other IPs here at the hotel. Last night we had a great dinner with fellow bloggers from "New Year Dreaming." It was also a pleasure to meet Preet and her husband for breakfast. It's kinda cool being with other people who are going through the same thing. I hope we're all together here at the Svelte in 9 months.

Tomorrow's agenda includes a full day of sightseeing in Delhi.

  2. We left it up to Dr. Shivani to choose our surrogates and here we are! There are so many medical considerations that go into whether a successful implantation will result, so it was our feeling that she she'd be the best to decide. That being said, she may tell you that several look good and you could still choose amongst those. Good luck!

  3. Best wishes with collection Monday. We left our surrogate selection to Dr S as well - just felt she the expert at these things and I would constantly be second guessing myself if I picked one and it did not work. Best wishes K

  6. Good luck with the egg donation. It's Easter today. That's got to bring you some extra luck with eggs, right?
