Dr Shivani update

Anu has not got her period yet, I will be seeing her Sunday (1/11/09) -- hopefully she will have got her period by then

If not then can always start an alternate surrogate mother, will let you know

Tentatively I have planned embryo transfer around 25th November 2009

i will call Dr Shivani after Anu has gone for her checkup and discuss the above and see what she advises

Just for fun

Incredibox is a interactive website that allows users to mix their own beatboxes using the skilled sounds of The Incredible Polo. The website is fun and super simple to use. You just drag and drop the types of sounds on the the beatboxer's t-shirt to add to the mix. Click on any of the beatboxers to remove their sound. The end effect is really enjoyable to experience ...... just click on Just for fun link bellow the image.

An update from Dr Shivani

Dear George

I cannot explain the unsuccessful attempt. However this is the problem with IVF and indeed even someone with perfect fertility trying naturally, it doesnt always click the first time round

Yes its good that you have frozen embryos so that we can move forward
Anu was also very sad, this meant a lot to her
I recommend trying with her again, she is quet sincere with treatment and her response was good in terms of the endometrial lining

It is disappointing to get an unsuccessful outcome but all I can tell you is that once you are successful its very easy to put all this behind you

So think positive!

Thank you for the stunning flowers, they were fresh for 10 days which is amazing!

I will inform you once she gets her period -- we will start on the second day of her cycle

Best wishes
Dr Shivani

yes a single want to be dad!

Ok from the start without rambling on all the details

looked into adoption many years ago ... doors closed

looked into co parenting here in Australia ..... too many legal issues

looked into surrogacy in the US and Canada ...... to many legal issues & very expensive

Was put onto the surrogacy process in India about a year ago by a client of mine and the journey begun

Months and months of research, questions, educating myself, trawling the internet and discovered a wealth of information

Joined a few surrogacy forums some great some not so great

asked many questions, sent many a email internationally and just as many phone calls

got in touch with quite a few Hospitals, clinics, and a few medical tourism agencies

received contracts and info from most

a few months ago i settled with the services of Dr Shivani at Phoinix hospital in delhi

chose my egg donor (mother of 2)
29 year old who gave me 26 eggs 16 of which were A grade

Flew to india with a dear friend of mine Vicki and also another friend Jason doing the same


transfered 4 embryos into my 29 year old surrogate (mother of 2 widow)
a perfect text book procedure

THE DREDED 2 WEEK WAIT........................

sad to say my first attempt turned out to be a negative result

12 embryos left

now waiting on advice from Dr Shivani

i hope to try again in the next few weeks
