I have been blessed with an amazing family, and the opportunity to expand my family. I have a Surrogate Mother who I am eternally grateful for. I not only do I get to have another baby, but being so close to her, I get to experience the pregnancy with her.
My daughter Destynee is nothing short of a miracle. Through bedrest and lots of support, I was able to experience carrying my own baby. The fact that she is alive and very healthy, perfect 3 year old, is another miracle.
Because I have congenital heart problems, have had 2 open-heart surgeries, facing the possibility of a third, and live with an ICD (pacemaker/defibrillator), my doctors discouraged me from getting pregnant. The bedrest and hysterectomy turned out to be a blessing.
Who would have thought…
I wanted to blog about this journey for my own process, and to give insight into surrogacy itself. It is not well known, and can be a very intimidating topic. I'm not an expert on anything. My wish is to receive and give, support and insight. I welcome comments and questions.
Surrogacy from the heart Blog 
Hi Congrats on your journey to success. I am had had 4 failed cycles and hoping for a successful one soon. I had a partial hysterectomy and our only chance to have a baby is through surrogacy. I wanted to find out what protocol you used that you worked for you. Please email when you get a chance. Thanks.
when you say protocol, do you mean medications or the process? after 3 cycle, changing and adding new medication, I still only ended up with 5 follicles. the doctor suggested I go ahead and try with eggs I had, he didn’t think we would have any better luck trying another cycle. so with the grace of God, we implanted 3 and 1 made it! I would love to share my story, I’m just getting clear on what you are exactly asking. best of luck to you.
Congrats on your bundle of joy! So happy for you! We just did a FET and got a BFN. The RE only gave us 25% since it was a frozen cycle. We want to do a fresh cycle soon. When I asked protocol, I mean the meds that you were on? What changed the last time around? Do you have a copy of the meds you were taking? Were you on any vitamins? I’m trying to stay hopeful but its very hard. Can you email when you get a chance so you can share your story? I would really appreciate it. Your story has given me some hope that it can happen with my own eggs. Thanks so much. My email is bluediamond9090@gmail.com
