Crissy's box just arrived, and if you have been following her story, you know this is a big one.
For anyone new here, Crissy is a West Coast Surrogacy surrogate, a full time nurse, and a mom of two. While we catch you up, she is in the middle of her embryo transfer cycle, which means her medication kit just landed on her kitchen counter. Inside is a sharps container, syringes, oral medication, and a schedule that carries her through the next several weeks.
She said it best herself: how can something be so exciting and scary at the same time?
We want every woman considering surrogacy to hear this part. Those injections are not a sign that anything is wrong. They are the prep that gets a body ready for transfer. Medications like birth control pills, Lupron, Estradiol, and Progesterone are common at this stage, and they help regulate your cycle, build the uterine lining, and support early pregnancy. Some surrogates feel bloated, tired, or sore at the injection site, and your physician helps you manage all of it.
Here is what matters most. You are never handed a box and left to figure it out. Crissy reviewed every medication and asked questions before her first injection, and she has a case manager she can reach any time a question comes up.
Feeling excited and nervous at the same time is not a red flag. It is what caring deeply looks like.
If you have been quietly wondering whether you could do this too, we would love to answer your questions. Crissy started exactly where you are right now, with an application and a lot of curiosity.
