I am officially back at it!! I updated my surrogate profile a few months ago and informed my new coordinator, Jennifer, that I would be ready to begin inseminations/transfers again after March 1, 2014. She started sending me some profiles to look at. There were a couple that I was interested in and so Jennifer sent them my profile in return but for one reason or another, none of them matched.
Then this week I received a new batch of profiles to look through. Immediately there were two that stood out so I informed Jennifer. Since I'm trying to NOT carry twins again this time around, she sent my profile to one of the couples since the other wanted twins.
This particular couple is a married man and woman who live in Boston. She is from India and he is from Africa. She has a disease that affects her uterus so she is unable to carry a baby but has eggs that they can use. They jumped out at us for a few reasons. One, she is a designer and so we have that in common. Two, the way she responded to some of the questions I felt like I could have written it so it seemed like we are very similar. And three, they are in Boston, which is where my husband is from, so it would be easy (and fun) for us to be able to go up there for the screenings and transfer.
We heard back that same day that they wanted to have a phone call with us the following day!! That was Wednesday evening. Sorrell and I both loved them and apparently they loved us too because we both agreed to move forward with each other!!
My IM and I have already exchanged emails. We are planning on having our face to face meeting when we go up there for the medical screening at Mass General IVF. So now I am just waiting for their coordinator at MGH, Julie, to contact me so that we can get things rolling!!
Looks like I might be preggers again as soon as 6 months from now! :) I'm stoked.
