This week we talked with Grace who is a 2 time surrogate. Grace’s first journey was so beautiful that she is now on her second journey with the same couple for a sibling journey. 💕 But unfortunately is hasn’t been as smooth and simple as the first one.

Grace and her IPs sadly experienced a second trimester loss. Grace opened up with us and you in hopes that her words and journey might help others who have experienced the same thing. 

Please be aware that this conversation at times might be a bit graphic. If you are not in the right state to hear this conversation please do what is best and needed for you. 💕 

But as for Grace, thank you so incredibly much for sharing your story and your grief. We wish this type of thing never happened to anyone, but the sad truth is that it does and we don’t want anyone to feel alone.

Our hearts go out to all the Surrogates, their families, and the Intended Parents who have experienced loss. 🤍

This week we talk about all the IVF meds! What types there are and how they can make you feel. Nowadays there are so many ways to prep for a transfer, it becomes confusing and sometimes overwhelming. We even sometimes compare and that leads us to overthink and get in our heads when things are different for us than the “norm” that we see on social media. Tune in to hear a few different ways a surrogate can prepare her body with IVF meds.

And please feel free to leave a comment on what protocol you were given for IVF meds and how they made you feel. 💕
