One of the things I found the hardest last time I was here on my own was the loneliness. Spending all day and night in my hotel with only the hotel staff to talk to and only leaving the hotel for a quick daily trip to the clinic for my medication each morning was very lonely. I missed home so much, especially my two boys and I cried at least once a day.
This time it's very different. I still miss my boys very much of course but I have so much support at the moment and it has made the world of difference. I haven't cried yet - not even once! There are two other Australian couples here in Mumbai at the moment doing surrogacy using the same clinic as me and they have both have been so wonderful in keeping me company. I'm also getting wonderful support from people back home which I really appreciate too - thank you! And last but not least my best friend the iPad.... Having the iPad on this trip has been the best! Not only can I keep up to date with Facebook and other websites from home I've been able to Skype my boys. Getting Skype kisses from Lawson each night is the perfect way to end a day here.
Just a quick treatment update to end this post. I had my first ultrasound this morning and as suspected my Dr couldn't find my ovaries. The same thing happened last time I was here. It's nothing to stress about at this stage as its still very early in my treatment. We will try again on Monday and if they are still having trouble finding them then they will send me to a Sonographer who has a stronger ultrasound machine.
