Lauren - Great! I'm so glad you know what is happening and have somewhat of a time line! With the way the days/months have been passing, you'll be ready for your transfer before you know it.

Lauren, that is perfect. You can get your house ready to sell, start thinking about your move and then before you know it you will be ready for the transfer and ready to start settling into a new life.

Fetal Cells Detected in Mothers' Blood Years After Donor Egg Pregnancies WEDNESDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Fetal cells remain in the blood of women who had pregnancies with donor eggs for years after they had the baby, a new study says. The fact that these fetal cells aren't destroyed by the mother's immune system points to an immune system suppression mechanism that may be harnessed to help prevent transplant rejection, said the researchers, who added that these stem cells may provide an easily accessible source of stem cells. The researchers, from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, analyzed the blood of 11 healthy women, ages 18 to 60, who had a male baby using a donor egg. Male cells were found in the blood of the women up to nine years after they'd had the child. "These findings may impact how we think about using stem cells in regenerative medicine, because the 'foreign' fetal cells are not rejected by the mother's immune system, even in donor egg pregnancies," study lead author Dr. Zev Williams, a chief resident in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, said in a prepared statement. "Not only do we want to understand the novel mechanism that suppresses the immune system's surveillance response, but we want to know if these fetal cells can be a source of stem cells later in life for the mother and even for unmatched patients, which could eliminate the need for stem cell banking," Williams said. "It is also interesting to note that, after a donor egg pregnancy, the mother and child do, in fact, share DNA, albeit at a very low level, and therefore do have a biological connection," Williams added. The study was published online this week in the journal Fertility and Sterility.

OK, here is my "tentative" schedule. It is so hard to plan anything, because it is all based on how my donor responds to everything...
I start BCPS tonight (4/21), my donor is waiting for af and as soon as it comes, she will do bcps for 2 weeks. We'll both stop them at that point, and wait for af. We will both do cd 2 b/w with the start of that cycle. If she is supressed, they will then start her on stims and me on del-estrace... SO, we are *estimating* transfer to be around the last week of May. I started a ticker to help me remember it. I think it will feel totally different not doing the stims each night. The DE coordinator said she would send me a schedule that is a bit more exact sometime next week... HERE WE GO!!!
