Just another reason to keep up the hope ....

Exactly one year ago my surrogate started lupron. As luck would have it, her lining ended up being WORSE than mine (the reason I was told to get a surrogate in the first place). Crying in hysterics at the end of my rope while in a mall up in Boston, I made a phone call that changed my life forever.

Today, I am 2 1/2 weeks out (at most!) from meeting our baby who *I* am pregnant with.

skipped that little detail since I posted my story a few times and didn't wanna bore people Chat Icon Chat Icon but I called an RE I had seen a year before for one of my second opinions but opted not to go with him at that time.

When my surrogate's second transfer got canceled because her lining was so terrible, I was told it would take about 6 months to find a new woman- which was just NOT ok. When I called the RE, they said it would take 2 months to get in for a consult but I cried and pleaded my case and they got me in 2 days later. That was 11 months ago, and now I'm 37 weeks pregnant. (this is after multiple losses at various stages of pregnancy, multiple IVFs, a surrogate... ) You really do never know what's in store....

Re: Just another reason to keep up the hope ....

Thanks ladies, I just had to share because if you told me a year ago that I would be pregnant and about to give birth I'd never ever ever ever ever ever believe it. I was beat down so many times that I started to believe disappointment was just a way of life for me and I'd never get my miracle.

I'm still so paranoid Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon especially after everything, but I didn't get this far without holding onto at least a little bit of hope - even when most of it was gone. To this day I look at my belly and I'm in SHOCK.

I cannot wait for this baby to be born!!!! I can't wait to see "his?" face! LOL...Although I am not an avid poster any more, I have followed your story and do believe that 2nd opinions are the most important!

I wish you all the best! I know that this little one will be so loved and protected by multiple guardian angels!

Thank you!! I'm just in disbelief every single day. To say I don't take a moment of this pregnancy for granted is the understatement of the century. I just can't believe that pending all going well, this time in 3 weeks he will already be home.

I agree!!! I delivered my beautiful amazing baby girl on almost the one year anniversary when we found out our first ivf failed. One year after that I was holding my baby.
