I would love to share my 1st Surrogacy Experience:)
My Journey began over a year ago.... I knew I wanted to be a surrogate for sometime and knew my dh(Dear Husband) supported me. I filled out a few applications. I tried to go through one agency but they turned me down due to no insurance. A few months down the road. One of the other agencies emailed me letting me know a couple liked my application and wanted to meet me. They didnt care about the insurance. I met them everything went really well, but I didnt move forward with them. Not because we had a fall out or anything they just couldnt find an egg donor that they liked so my journey continued and after a few couples later I found my intended mom who I have a great relationship with. We had our first transfer October 20th which eneded in a chemical pregnancy. We were both disappointed but decided to move forwarded.
We finally had our second transfer December 20th. That was a Monday and I began testing on Thursday which I could see the line with my surro eyes..lol On Friday I tested I could see the line with my surro eyes..lol On Saturday the line got darker On Sunday it continued to get darker. I tested one more time before my appt on Monday and it was quite postive. I didnt want to get my hopes and my Intended Mom didnt want me to say anything to her until we got the beta results. Which I totally understood since with our last transfer I got a postive pg test and than it kept getting light and lighter each day because I was losing the baby:( So this time around she waited.
So the official numbers came in on Monday my first beta 7dp5dt was 58 and Wednesday 9dp5dt was 199:):) Whoo Hoo!! Everything is looking Great!!! My next appt was this morning and I am waiting til this afternoon and hoping we get the results before the day is over. I have to wait so long because the her clinic is in NY and the time difference is 3 hours so patience is a must!!
We are both over the moon excited:):) .........praying everything goes well.
I'm surprised an agency turned you down because you had no insurance. My agency accepted me with opened arms--couldn't imagine having no insurance would be a prob. Thankfully too, my IP's are covering everything. My new ins plan just went into effect 1/1/11. =)
ReplyDeleteOn another note: YAY, I found you ;) So excited to follow your journey. Best wishes for a positive and exciting experience. I am looking forward to your updates.
I couldn't believe it either. I knew I wanted to be a surrogate, but when they turned me down I thought I would never be a surrogate. I am so glad I didn't give up and I filled out another application with another agency and luckly they contacted me and my journey began:)
