Oh, wow, Kristy. I was hoping for good news. I hate that the dr. couldn't see you right away. Please let us know how you're doing.

Oh my gosh, Kristy... I am so sorry. I can't believe this is happening. I am thinking of you and hoping for some much better news to come.

Kristy - I know you're freaking out now, but it's NOT cancer. It's been caught before that and it will be taken care of. Cervical dysplasia is SO extremely common (I don't even know how many girls here have gone through the same thing). The procedures to remove it are very simple, too. I hope this doesn't put an end to your surrogacy - maybe just another road block? {{hugs}}

Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers, they are much needed right now. Thank you for the information Rac. I too hope it is just a road block and that in a couple cycles we can try again. I know that severe dyplasia can be treated 100% and I am so lucky I was doing all this testing and caught it before it was too late. The hardest part of all of this is letting K down. It broke my heart.

Kristy, I am so sorry! This must be completely overwhelming to even take in.
Like Rac said, hopefully it is just a roadblock. Regardless, thank goodness you found it now versus later.
I know you feel terrible about letting K down, but honey, she's been through a lot already, and I'm sure her skin is tough enough to handle this as well. It doesn't mean her journey is over. It just means another roadblock she is dealing with. Who knows... you may still be her surrogate. If so, she'll want you healthy first. If not, she willl
know what she is looking for in a donor (I'm sure she'll want to find someone as wonderful as you), and you've gotten her a step closer to getting her baby.
Either way, right now your focus needs to be on taking care of yourself.
my
Hugs to you. Big, big, hugs.

(Btw, 8 years ago an abnormal pap result showed that I had the same thing, but CIN II, which is moderate dysplasia.
I went in for further testing, and they found it was completely gone. They have no idea what happened, but thought maybe I had some sort of infection that gave that result. Anyway, it turned out to be nothing, and I've never had another abnormal pap since. So maybe, just MAYBE, this will turn out better than you think.
You are in my prayers!!)

Kristy ~ Just got caught up on my reading. Hugs to you! I'm thinking of you and like Rebecca said I hope that this is only a roadblock and a that it comes out to be a small one at that, and you'll be back in full gear in no time. I admire you so much for what you are doing. *Hugs*

Kristy- I'm so sorry to hear this. {hugs} I've been there, with the severe dysplasia and it's been gone for two years now. If you have any questions about the procedures they offer you, feel free to ask. Hang in there, girl

Kristy I have been sick since early last week and this is the first time I have logged on and read this, so sorry this has happened, but sounds like you too will hurdle over this road block. Your health is important, and I am glad this will be taken care of quickly. Big HUG!

Thank you everyone for the support. I am waiting to hear back from my doctor's office to see when my surgery can be scheduled.

Kristy - I just stumbled upon this thread, I had no idea it was here! I read all nine pages and am amazed at all you've gone through to try to make someone else's dream come true. I've told dh since I was pg with Jeslynn that I loved being pg and would definitely accept being a surrogate if someone I knew needed one. The fact that you are doing this for someone you'd never met prior to beginning the process just fills my heart. Like others have said, you are a true angel, especially to K & D. I know you are at a roadblock now, but I believe that things work together for good, so whatever reason there was for all of this, it will be made known to you. I'll be praying for you and your IP's. I'll also be watching this thread like a hawk to see what other information I can get on surrogacy. It may be something I do someday, as long as my body will allow it.

Hugs are going your way!

Thanks Sara. I am lucky to be able to do this, it is always something I have been interested in but then watching all of the heartache of close friends (on here and IRL) and my sister struggle with infertility I decided it was the only way I could help end someone's journey and help them experience the wonderful world of motherhood that I have been so blessed with. Kinda like paying it forward. I hope I am blessed to do this more than once!

Today I had my laser surgery. It was a piece of cake. Yesterday I called my favorite anesthesiologist at home (perks of L&D I have access to their numbers) and asked if she would do my surgery, she said yes. Today I get there and mention her name and they said she wasn't on the schedule for me. I was bummed, same thing happened last time but I just told the pre-op nurse when I was scheduled and didn't call her so I figured she didn't get the message. 10 minutes before my surgery she walked in with a huge smile and I was so happy!!! The surgery went well, he lasered off the abnormal tissue and then an area around that as well so hopefully it is all gone. We will see in 4 months when I have a repeat pap. Friday "K" talked to the RE and he did not have a problem with me cycling in October. I told my Dr today and he agreed!!! We are back on for a mid October transfer!!! I am so excited but not near as excited as K&D are!!! Luckily I kept taking my medication and praying this would all work out!
