My heart was wrenched out reading the details of what you had to go through. Of all your sweet hopes and dreams for your baby, only to get the crushing news, after it was too late to get any more of your eggs. So disappointing and crushing.
I know it's hard to ask people for their eggs. Only you can decide what you are comfortable with. But I want to say, reading this, I want to give you MY eggs, even though I don't have very many, maybe not even enough for a second one for us!
But if I feel that way, I think other people/friends would too. It's so, so lovely that you have had friends offer to be a surrogate for you. For me, IVF was a lot easier at less painful than pregnancy/labour. So a friend might want to. ♥
I knew much of your story from things you have said over the years and i know it is a long time ago now but I am still very sorry for the loss of everything you always hoped for and dreamed about. Our nephew was born using a donated egg but his mother was able to carry him herself. I remember he pain in my father's eyes when I told him I had gone through premature menopause and wouldn't be having children. Zoe's a great name though
We've been LJ friends since right after your original diagnosis, and I remember reading all of this as it was happening. I'm still so sad for you that your "icicle" wasn't a healthy one :(
