Embarking on multiple surrogacy journeys can be both an emotional and physical roller coaster, especially when you are still pregnant from a previous surrogate pregnancy. From my experience, balancing the excitement and uncertainties involved requires careful consideration and support. One of the toughest parts of going through IVF and surrogacy processes simultaneously is managing the health risks and emotional stress. IVF treatments demand a lot from your body, and being pregnant adds another layer of complexity. I learned early on the importance of staying in close contact with my medical team to monitor my health and the developing pregnancy closely. Another challenge was the emotional toll. I found myself pitching the idea of another surrogacy journey to my husband even though I was still pregnant, which sparked many heartfelt conversations about readiness, risks, and hopes for expanding our family. Open communication helped us navigate our fears and dreams together. Support networks, both online and offline, proved invaluable. Connecting with others who have faced similar situations gave me tips on self-care and reassured me that I wasn’t alone. It’s essential to listen to your body and mind, seek professional counseling if needed, and celebrate the small victories along the way. For anyone considering starting a surrogacy journey while still pregnant, my advice is to take things one step at a time, prioritize your health, and embrace the support available. This journey is unique for everyone, but maintaining hope and resilience can make the path more manageable and meaningful.

Unhelpful things said to me while going through one of the most difficult life experiences... Infertility isn't a real health condition. Why don't you just get a surrogate or adopt? Just be positive. It will happen when you least expect it. Just stop thinking about it. IVF is selfish.
