[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not OP. Am not sure where she disappeared to so I will be “SOP” (substitute OP until she comes back) since we also used a surrogate.

It cost us 80k total. Her fee was $33k. We paid for it with a home equity loan.   We had purchased a foreclosure really cheaply in a nice neighborhood so our monthly expenses did not increase much. Then we sold an investment property at the right time and paid everything down.

We are still in touch - very similar approaches to life.

The whole process took 13 months, which is unusually quick but we had PGS tested embryos and were matched quickly. Also, our carrier was not the same race.

Thank you, SOP!  I'm back.

This is all such great information but the bolded part is so true. I felt so helpless, especially when it came to eating, pre-natal vitamins, etc. I just had to step back from my usual A-type personality.[/quote]
