as i have written previously my surro mom made her hcg test and it showed 674 on that day. Now i have received her first us results (6 weeks) and you know what? I am a future mother of twins! by some miracle 2 embryos stuck and the surro will be having twins!!!! I can't believe it!

PS it means that my surrogacy journey might end up earlier than I was expecting. I am so happy! Another update will be when I get to know their gender. 2 boys? 2 girls? a boy and a girl? What do you think? ahah for me it does not matter at all right now. I am very happy!

Hi bethany2. Well done to you and your surrogate! Maybe have a surprise and not know the sexes - how exciting for you - I'm so pleased. Fingers crossed for the rest of the pregnancy and a successful delivery. Thinking of you all. Diane

Hi bethany2. And why not keep the sexes a secret! You deserve to be so excited! Do let me know how it all goes if you can. Diane

bethany2• in reply toDianeArnold

I am sorry we were celebrating a lot with my hubby these days! we haven't received anything from our surrogate mother at all, we are waiting to see her. I am sorry this is all so new for me, you know. my manager was sending me lots of great messages in response to all of my worries, she actually is very nice and she said the same, that maybe it is better to keep the gender of my baby as a secret. but how can I wait? haha

although this is easier to do if you are going internationally as to come to Ukraine it's going to take me up to 1 week (all of the preparations and stuff) haha

thank you for your attention and kindness! i am going to leave here some updates!

thank you i really was not expecting that and I feel like i cannot be happier! for me this news seem like a miracle honestly

i haven't even thought that it can be twins!

thank you again

wishing you the best also!!

ps i definitely need to gift her something great. I was thinking about all of those small things that are perfectly fine to give your surrogate but for now maybe it is better to give her a neckless or something of this sort??

Thank you all. Your wishes will definitely come true as I believe in it wholeheartedly!

I think she is doing well, but I am a little bit sad that I cannot meet her just yet..

Anyways, how are you doing? :)

That's wonderful wonderful news... wishing you all the very best. Exciting times ahead for sure.

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply tosanj76

Yes!!! thank you! I wish you the same!

I am in a preparation mode right now, my manager gives me advice and recommendations on what to do. I guess there is a lot of stuff to accomplish before you can take you baby or babies with you home. which is sad but I knew about it before we have signed the contract. anyways, there will be some low points I think, like inability to take you baby home with you right away, but we will find strength to overcome everything that is on our way to the happy future!!!

thank you a lot! I am very grateful for your words as I feel really proud not only of myself but also of my husband and my manager, and the staff at my clinic. I feel like we all did a great job and I am thankful to you for reminding me it.

How are you doing? How is or are your babies?

lot os love!!!

godknowseverything profile image
godknowseverything• in reply tobethany2

you seem to be very satisfied with your clinic...but you have told that you went internationally, is that right?

I am just looking for an option for myself but cannot make up my mind as I have a lot of prejudices towards fertility clinics in other countries. I don't even know if it is legal..

But you say that your manager and the clinic are great...

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply togodknowseverything

what do you mean by "I don't even know if it is legal"?? Of course it is legal, I mean it is even very legal as all of the ivf and surrogacy programs depend on the law system of the country so it is basically very controlled by the government and maybe you have heard now there are lots of cases where some countries just close surrogacy and all of the agencies too. so I bet there are no countries where such a thing would be illegal because surrogacy is covered a lot by foreign media and there is nowhere to hide.

godknowseverything profile image
godknowseverything• in reply tobethany2

because it was only a week ago when I found out about my infertility and in one second all of the info started coming out of nowhere I didn't even know about all of those fertility clinics and stuff thus it makes me scared a lot sorry

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply togodknowseverything

Oh really? I am so sorry as I have been leaving with my infertility for a while now I cannot imagine what you feel right now but I experienced those feelings. but as we all know pain is very forgettable.

don't be scared, really don't be. there is nothing to be afraid about. it is just a fertility clinic but in another country.

godknowseverything profile image
godknowseverything• in reply tobethany2

really? so it is a common thing apparently? is there a lot of people who go internationally?

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply togodknowseverything

Yes it is. there are a lot of people who for some reasons go abroad, who may be have no other possibility to have kids rather than in a clinic abroad, especially if we talk about surrogacy...

godknowseverything profile image
godknowseverything• in reply tobethany2

for me that reason is money

I don't know if it justifies my desire to go abroad..

thank you for replying

i just think that it is very hard to have a baby from surrogate mother in a different country...

bethany2 profile image
bethany2

A boy??? This is amazing, happy for you!

I won't be asking to reveal their gender, my manager will be sending me all of the scans but without the gender of my kids so I feel surprised and even more happy!!!

but it will be even more expensive than it is in US?

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply togodknowseverything

Why do you think so? Actually US is the most expensive country for fertility treatment in the world. They are really qualified but on the other hand they charge a lot.

godknowseverything profile image
godknowseverything• in reply tobethany2

I know about US and their prices as I am from US that's why I am trying to find the clinic abroad as I have heard that there are some more than affordable options.

You know if you have a name or two in your mind you can stick to them but this would be a lot better if you leave choosing the names on the day when they are born!!!

When are you having your next us scan?

Congratulations!

This is great news!

xx

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply toGabriellaST

Yes, you are right. I am thinking though about Edward. I think this name is beautiful. Or for a girl I am going to choose the name Kosani. She has to be extraordinary and bright!

:D

Thanks

Congrats!!!! xxxxxxx

I also had some great updates!! My surrogate mother is on the 7th month of pregnancy!

I can understand how you feel and even the extent of your happiness!!!

My SM is pregnant with one baby, obviously we do not know his gender yet, but on the 12 week I am sure the drs will be able to tell who it is - a boy or a girl (I am praying for a girl!!!)

bethany2 profile image
bethany2• in reply toJaneJane1

Well, I have to congratulate you as well! haha

How are you doing? Was it also an egg donation surrogacy? Or maybe you were luckier?

7th month that's a lot!

PS I am praying for a boy and a girl haha
