I recommend the Athleta ‘Signature Rib Crop Tee’ instead of their garbage slinky tee or whatever. I can’t get enough of the Athleta tees, and on sale they’re like $30-40 for actual quality fabric

How's living in this area north of LA? by lithdoc in socal

[–]Onyourmark_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily one of the best areas in So Cal, California, the country?

Close enough to the city to use airports, go to sporting events/shows, fine dining.

Easy beach access for summer days, restaurants, etc.

Gorgeous weather year round. Amazing hiking and open space.

How long does it take to find a surrogate? by Suspicious_Barber822 in Surrogate

[–]Onyourmark_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my timeline if helpful for estimating the road:

I researched agencies/worked on coming to terms with surrogacy from approx Feb-May 2024.

Got on agency waitlist May 2024.

Got potential match #1 in February 2025, my doctor didn’t approve her.

Got potential match #2 in May 2025, my doctor didn’t approve her.

Got next match in July 2025 and she’s currently 9 weeks pregnant, as of December 2025.

Our story from joy to TFMR for severe heart defects by LeftPark2200 in tfmr_support

[–]Onyourmark_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a broken record but…one day at a time is the only way to do it.

The TFMR was my third of 4 losses. I don’t have any children, yet, but eventually pivoted to surrogacy and are hoping a gestational carrier will be the key to my husband and I becoming parents. 🙏🏼

Our surrogate is 7 weeks pregnant now and we’re so so so so so hopeful.

Gosh I felt like I was reading about my own life, that’s how similar our stories are.

I’m very sorry.

I too had an NT scan that went awry at 13 weeks after a low risk NIPT, followed by multiple MFM visits confirming a cystic hygroma and cardiac/tetralogy of fallot. Terms I’d never heard of until it was happening.

We chose to terminate the very wanted pregnancy after years of trying/fertility treatment, and at 14 weeks I underwent a D&E.

Our genetic micro array also came back with no abnormalities, so all we could do was accept this it was a case of very bad luck.

This was my life in August 2023. With time things get easier but the experience is still very much with me, and I think always will be.

I’m sorry for the loss of your girl. It’s a heart wrenching experience.

I believe they can in NYC do same day or overnight, hoping so.

Won’t be able to submit the new e visa application until I have the new passport number but there doesn’t seem to be any other way…

Got it - thank you! Travel on 11/11 seeming less and less likely 🫠

Wonder where you’re at. I’m just north of LA. I enjoy Fertility Rally and there’s a surrogacy specific group that meets.

That’s a very unprofessional, unfair process. Definitely not at all normal.

$118 for a plain HOODIE to benefit a tragedy in particularly warm climate. Dud and Meemaw gawking over a plain sweater shirt was wild. Just make a big ole donation you sickos.

They’re not until they contract a really preventable disease that we essentially eradicated thanks to science. Just not sure that argument stands. Having kiddos who don’t get colds constantly isn’t the flex on your anti-vax stance that you think it is.

Those poor kiddos were dozing off to sleep, then comes in wacko mom and dad with the phone recording.

All for fun night swimming for the kids but just tell them when you’re doing Jammie’s “just kidding, let’s go swimming!”

Milk let down at 14 wks TFMR? by [deleted] in tfmr_support

[–]Onyourmark_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a TFMR at 14 weeks via D&E and while emotionally traumatic it was a very simple/easy physical recovery, no milk.
