I do plan to start egg banking and surrogacy once I recover. Having said that, I have no idea how my reproductive system works without a uterus, I have yet to find internet examples of woman my age being able to find success with OE with a missing uterus

Surrogacy or not, my age is my biggest enemy.
But I am thankful that medical technology has made it possible for me to at least give it a try down this route. I can only try my best and see where I land. I am also very fortunate to have solicited help from people who have successfully used surrogacy from the DE board to provide excellent support and guidance. I am deeply indebted to these kind souls.
