Pros to being a surrogate:
I help a family!
I don’t have a baby to take care of when I’m postpartum
My autoimmune diseases leave me alone while I’m pregnant!
Cons:
x10,0000
Ive tested positive! On home tests. Our first transfer! Cautiously optimistic and telling just few people since it’s so early. but yay!
i’m really sorry for a lack of updates recently, but everything has happened really fast. N has been on his progesterone shots and tomorrow he goes in for egg retrieval. Shit is getting real FAST. Trying not to get ahead of myself because we are going to wait until implantation for numerous reasons, but omg. It’s fucking happening!
I’m going for moral support and to help with him post retrieval because he is generally very sensitive to surgeries and procedures. I feel like Im going to fucking throw up already because I’m nervous as hell for some reason lol. I could be pregnant this year at some point!!!! Science is cool
Having many talks about the future lately.
I’m off T, extremely naturally fertile. In different circumstances, I would feel confident in trying for baby in about 2.5 months from now. Because this will be a reciprocal IVF type deal, I’m completely thrown for a loop. This is so costly. The IP has a deep desire to use his own eggs, which I completely understand. But I feel a bit like a sitting duck as we wait for his appointment to check on his fertility.
In the meantime, I’ll be focusing on optimizing my body and mind for another pregnancy. It is feeling a bit more real now. We are in regular contact with each other. Me getting off T was encouraging for him. He’s not been on T for a number of years, I believe coming on 5 or so. Since his emergency hysterectomy. He did retain one ovary, but from the sounds of it, his fertility is very low naturally.
I’m beginning to fear that I wont be able to conceive with his eggs. I’m getting ahead of myself. But I have doubt and anxiety. This is someone I care for deeply and respect wholeheartedly. In a different world, we would be parents together.
