Every week, I ask my best friend what word describes how she is feeling about her IVF and surrogacy journey. These words show how her feelings change from week to week, and sometimes they aren’t as simple as they seem. Some weeks are filled with hope and excitement, while others bring fear, uncertainty, or surrender. Together, these words tell the story of a journey that is deeply emotional, incredibly personal, and still unfolding.
