It was a huge meet up of 3 different groups so for us to <strong>naturally gravitate</strong> to each other and hit it off was rare and quite <strong>serendipitous</strong>. We kept in touch and didn’t start dating until a year later. It was strange to start dating someone from California and I was living in Texas. We started off <strong>long distance</strong>, and then eventually I moved out to California to be with him. We only lasted a year in California, and then a job offer brought us to<strong> Denver</strong>. We have been here since and love it since we love the outdoors and our<strong> son</strong>, Ethan does too. We married in 2019 and had Ethan in 2020. It worked out that Paul and I both knew we wanted kids. That’s was just both of our expectations and I’m glad we were on the same page.</p>             </div>              </div>

It started out with <strong>Endometriosis</strong> in my 20s. On top of that, I started to have re-occurring fibroids. The fibroids make getting pregnant <strong>very difficult</strong>. Fast forward to 2020, I had a complicated pregnancy, with my son, where my<strong> water broke at 26 weeks </strong>pregnant and I had to live in the hospital during covid, for 2 months. It’s honestly a <strong>miracle</strong> that I stayed pregnant that long while living in the depressing hospital and I couldn’t have visitors because it was during <strong>covid.</strong> After having my son, I got my <strong>fibroids removed</strong>, but then had <strong>other complications</strong> come up when we tried to get pregnant 1.5 years later, in middle of 2022. During my doctor visit, when I tried to figure out my issues in trying to get pregnant, I found out I had<strong> adenomyosis spreading in my uterus.</strong> At the same time fibroids keep reoccurring in my uterus that I had a few<strong> myomectomies</strong> (laproscopic and hysteroscopic) during the time we were <strong>trying to get pregnant.</strong> On top of that, I have a blocked fallopian tube that is causing hydrasalpinx, which is very bad for the <strong>embryo</strong>. It’s so many issues, but the adenomyosis is what was the main reason that <strong>I cannot carry</strong> my own child. It would cause more issues for the embryo to implant and grow in a healthy way. I was so <strong>devastated </strong>by the news, but feel <strong>so much hope</strong> that there is another a way to have a baby and that’s through <strong>surrogacy</strong>. We took the news very hard, but moved <strong>forward </strong>with IVF and getting our egg retrieval done.</p>              </div>              </div>
