So, we met Dr. Sudir and Dr. Yashodhara. They came to our hotel and we had coffee, then the legal team showed up and we went to a conference room. The legal team reviewed the entire surrogate contract, item by item, to make sure that we were fully aware of the terms. The surrogate was unable to meet with us today because of the rains and because there is also a taxi strike in Mumbai. We are going to meet her on Wednesday prior to the embryo transfer.
Dr. Sudhir and Dr. Yashodhara took us to Lilivati hospital to see the IVF clinic and to have some blood drawn in preparation for retrieval tomorrow. Then they took us to lunch, which was very nice, and us back to the hotel where we sat down for a final question and answer period before making our final Stage I payment. There will be three payments due: Stage I, which we paid, and each subsequent stage at different markers throughout a pregnancy.
We feel extremely comfortable with our arrangements and safe in these doctors hands. We are going to have Agit pick us up tomorrow morning and take us to the hospital for retrieval at 6:00am. We were surprised at how early we needed to be there when my trigger calls for retrieval at noon, but apparently the beds fill up pretty early so you need to secure your spot. After retrieval, the want you to stay for observation for a couple of hours. We are very lucky to have Agit, because of the cab strike!
I am looking forward to retrieval because my abdomen is so full and uncomfortable!
Since I can't eat all day tomorrow, I thought long and hard about my final meal and went with a very wise choice: brownie ala mode. Ummmmmm.
