2ww for us and our Surrogate

[HopeNovember2017]

Hi Ladies,

Anyone else bitten all their nails down during 2ww? We are 3dpt5dt (my sister is being our host surrogate - shes amazing I know ) and im going through waves of optimism and despair! Shes much more laid back than me and Im finding it harder to distract myself even though Im not the one physically experiencing anything! Our beta is 25th May but atm I feel like its impossible to make it until then!!!!! Would love to hear some positive stories!!

My background:

Me: 27 with MRKH
DH: 54 (2 children from previous marriage)
Transferred a 5 day Blast

Wishing you all lots of luck!! :) xx

@HopeNovember2017 ahhh the 24th Jan is my husbands birthday. So I won’t forget that easily 😁 you’ll have to keep us updated. I’ll watch the thread so I can keep an eye out.
What your sister has done for you is incredible. But the way I see it (which is how and why I think I’d love to do surrogacy) is it’s biologically your baby. Yours and your husbands genetics. Egg and Sperm.
The surrogate is the incubator and is just renting their body out. It’s a massive responsibility for them, and a huge toll on their body and their life, which is why it’s not for the faint hearted. But handing that baby over really is the best gift you can offer anybody. X

@HopeNovember2017 Just want to say good luck for Thursday x x x
