Basically if you're reading this you're either a complete stranger who has stumbled upon my blog or I've chosen to share it with you. Maybe I've known you for nearly 20 years or we just became friends- maybe never even formally met,thanks to the web I have "met" some incredible people! I want to share this with those who will be honest in there concerns, who want to ask questions, who want to support my choice and who just want to follow along in my dream to be a surrogate out of pure curiosity. I also want to connect with the IP's so they can follow the journey through my eyes!
The responses have been what I expected and I appreciate those who give me feedback! Feel free to leave comments or the e-mail, FB message is perfectly fine too. I will try to answer here in case someone has the same thought.
So for starters, some answers to a few good questions:
~I will be updating here as often as something is interesting enough! ;) Hopefully a weekly basis- sometimes more, sometimes less.
~Gestational surrogacy is the only option for me {right now} because I know it would be to difficult to have any genetic link. Traditional surrogacy is a beautiful thing too! I can say I would most likely never be a TS, but I can't predict the future. I think about if I had a sister, or a cousin, or a close friend who struggles with fertility and she needed a TS I can't say what I would say to that.....
~Yes, I'm on meds. I started w/ Lupron injections. Believe me the injections scared me more then childbirth (see, again lets question my sanity saying the thought of childbirth was easier then a butterfly needle injection! lol) but after the first or second time I had it under control. I also take estrace. I can give more details on the meds next post. It's actually really late despite what the time stamp may say. That leads us to that question.....
~yes, the time stamp on the blog must be wonky. Typically I will only blog after 8pm EST.
~No, I will not be sharing any personal info w/o prior approval from all parties. So no names given. I was asked how I met the intended parents. I was "matched" through the agency. I had matched with another set of IP's before this one, who I met independently, but things didn't work out & I wish them only the best. My IM and I chat when we can, we do not reside in the same state but hope to remain in contact throughout & hopefully after.
Ok, that's it for now. I'm about to zonk out. I went into my sons classroom today & do I need to say more??!!! 22 1st graders (well more like 60 something b/c we did combined stations) I declare all teachers a 50% pay increase!! ;)
So in all seriousness I truly appreciate the time you take to read this. Keep the questions coming!
It means so much to me that I have good friends who are happy for me and wishing us luck in the journey!
Have a wonderful holiday. Forget the stress, embrace all the love of family & friends!! Check back soon!
