I am to start on half of the dose that I was taking 5 weeks ago. My vitamin D levels are low, so I am to supplement. I no longer am taking pre-natal vitamins and take a Flinstone vitamin 4-5 times weekly. I hope the medication kicks in quick as I have been dragging ass the last few weeks. It is amazing the differences when my levels fluctuate. I am glad to be seeing a specialist.
As for surrogacy and the possibility of a second journey......it depends on the moment. Sometimes, I feel like I am all done being pregnant, especially with the c-section I had to have. But, then there are days/moments of strong desire to have 1 more experience with a deserving family. I am going to be 37 this coming June, so need to make a decision in the next year or 2 if I decide to move forward with a second journey. Agencies tend to not accept women over 40. I keep telling myself I will give myself till summer and see how I feel. There is so much stuff to get done around here on the farm and want to feel useful around here this year. If I decide to move forward with a second journey, I will start paperwork later this year. We will see how my mind continues to process/evolve/think about future possibilities....
I continue to read a few select surrogacy blogs and enjoy hearing about other stories along the journey of surrogacy. So many feelings about different kinds of experience - thanks for sharing!

Thank YOU so much for all of your affirming comments, and for showing us there is a light out there in surrogacy land. We are so excited to be on the path that you (whether you know it or not) helped us find.
ReplyDeleteI hope you catch up on your vitamins and get back to normal levels soon. It is amazing how the absence of one little letter can put one in a funk. Be good to yourself now so you can enjoy springtime on the farm!
Thanks m! I am thrilled to have been a small part of your journey! looking forward to reading all about it, especially the post when you will be holding YOUR baby in YOUR arms! :)
