The Cambodian Ministry of Health has decided to ban recourse to surrogacy given the nationwide increase in this practice since surrogacy was banned in Thailand and India. Moreover, until now, the cost of surrogacy in Cambodia has been very low compared to the United States. In the absence of legislation, clinics accepted homosexual partners as well as single people.
Last week, the Cambodian Health Ministry sent a memo to clinics offering surrogacy services, stating the following: "There is a permanent ban on surrogacy", adding that, concerned about spin-offs, the government "is working towards legislation that will protect women and children from becoming objects of trafficking".
For Sam Everingham, founder of Families Through Surrogacy, an association dedicated to surrogacy, access to Cambodian surrogate mothers represented "an industry that has rapidly developed in a country that was not prepared to face up to facts, particularly in terms of medical services". He added that the decision taken by the Cambodian Government "will spread panic amongst the numerous intended parents... just as we saw in Thailand".
I'm here to say that I totally support surrogacy worldwide. Surrogacy's the blessing for thousands of infertile couples nowadays. The role of the surros can be hardly overthought. They are definitely kind lovely women willing to help. There are many reasons which lead people to this very option. For example, a woman was born without womb. Or she suffers some heart disease which enables her to carry the kid to the term. Or she's faced miltiple miscarriages etc. Those are known to be medical reasons for using surrogacy. The surrogacy law differs muc hfrom country to country. In Ukraine, for exmple, surrogacy is regulated by an explicit law that can be found in the Family Code of Ukraine, as one shall see below. In accordance with its clauses, only childless, heterosexual couples who are married to each other are eligible to have a baby through surrogacy n this country.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, a major advantage of choosing Ukraine as your destination for surrogacy abroad, besides its attractive costs, is the fact that American intended do not need a special visa to enter the country.
In Ukraine, surrogacy arrangements are permitted by law as long as the parties involved do meet the following requirements:
To be an officially married, heterosexual couple.
At least, the intended father is able to provide his genetic material. Ideally, the law envisages that both commissioning parents provide their gametes for the creation of the embryo.
To have a medical cause that is preventing the intended mother from becoming pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term under safe conditions for both her and the baby-to-be.
Uterine malformations, being born without uterus (i.e. Rokitansky syndrome), anatomical, morphological and/or structural problems of the uterine lining that lead to implantation failure or are incurable are some examples of what the law accepts as medical causes.
It is required to prove it by means of a medical certificate, which will be reviewed and approved by Ukrainian gynecologists and reproductive endocrinologists.
Also, severe Somatic Symptom Disorders (SSDs) that may put the life of the patient at risk during pregnancy but have no influence on the health of the fetus are considered to be a valid reason as to why one may need a surrogate to have a baby.
Having gone through 4 failed IVF attempts using high-quality embryos is also considered a medical cause that can leave a couple no alternative but to turn to surrogacy. In such cases, the Ukrainian authorities will require you to provide proof from the fertility clinic you were working with in your home country.
There's really no need to ban surrogacy as it gives hope to so many of us all over the world!!
In general, the two reasons for the use of surrogacy are the absence or abnormality of the uterus or a medical contraindication.
DeleteCases of absent/abnormal uterus: MRKH syndrome. It is a disorder where the female is born with an underdeveloped or absent uterus and vagina. History of hysterectomy – a surgery to remove the uterus. Multiple fibroid tumors of the uterus that cannot resolved by a surgery. Severe intrauterine scarring (Asherman’s syndrome) irreparable. A single male or gay male couple.
Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss or unsuccessful embryo implantations. Inability to develop the uterine lining (endometrium).
Cases of medical contraindications (relative and absolute): A serious medical condition that worsens with pregnancy posing risk to mother and fetus. Pulmonary hypertension. Turner’s syndrome. Uterine cancer.
In some situations, this ideal concept of conceiving is not possible due to certain medical conditions, the age of the prospective mother, having a history of miscarriage, etc. So, from the perspective of heterosexual couples, surrogacy is a major advantage because it allows them to create a family in spite of not being able by natural means. There is, however, a negative side in this: The high cost of this treatment, which may not be within the grasp of everyone. Sadly enough, but even if intended parents have everything in place, facts such as religious beliefs, historical background, laws, and the influence of certain family members can prevent them from entering into a surrogacy arrangement. For same-sex couples and single parents, it is clear that surrogacy is not only a major advantage, but actually the only chance for them to become parents, as in the case of gay male couples and single fathers. In fact, it brings them the possibility of having a baby and share their genes with him or her. Also, another positive of surrogacy if compared to traditional adoption is that it allows intended parents to have a child who has the genes of at least one of them. With adoption, this is not possible, as the child was conceived by another couple. Finally, it should be clear that a pregnancy is not a mathematical equation and many factors can influence the process. For this reason, there are time factors involved that all the parties involved should take into consideration. As to the cost of the tx. I agree 100 per cent that surrogacy has been a blessing for many infertile couples and it hurts really bad to read about the stories of women who waited for years in order to start the process. we, on the other hand, did not wait even month for our egg donor to be matched. We paid a fraction of what we would have to if we decided to stay in the US. But you need to know what to do to find the best option for yourself. we flew to Ukraine and signed with BioTexCom clinic in order to reduce potential expenses. and even though the tickets are costly it still does not even match the prices we would have paid if not for this very clinic.
DeleteInfertility is an experience that continually fluctuates in intensity and direction, so at different times you may have different needs and experience different emotions. There are no set ‘stages’ in this experience … There may be moments when being infertile dictates every facet of your life, whilst at other times you may act to change the direction of your life. The way you learn to deal with the experience of infertility will also be different at different times. But if it is surrogacy then I'll strongly recommend you to visit asiu.us, you'll find loads of useful info there. After much gleaning in forums, I'd say Ukraine may be the choice. First, it is relatively affordable. After some research done, there are places with all-inclusive plans starting at 32k up to 50k. They cover absolutely everything outside the plane tickets. Also meds and all things that involve IVF for you if you are using your own eggs, surrogate screening and medical costs, and birth at the hospital. It is also the same price if you choose to use donor eggs instead, which is a nice back-up plan to have if things don’t work out with your own, at no additional cost. The strongest side is that one of the clinics there guarantees you a baby. In case the first surrogate doesn’t work out, they will try again with another one using your frozen embryos until they are successful. Also, it seems like Ukraine is one of the few places where the laws favor the intended parents rather than the surrogate. Here is what I read. Under Ukrainian law, the baby is yours from the moment of conception. Once the baby is born, the birth certificate is issued with your names and the surrogate cannot claim any rights. Lastly, this is going to be time-wise. Pregnancy tends to start right after embryos are created because many women participate in surrogacy in Ukraine.
DeleteAlso to get the best experience with surrogacy one should to deal wee with the surrogacy professionals involved to ensure that everything is done as it should, and to avoid potential mishaps:
ReplyDeleteConsultants.Normally, surrogacy consultants work from the country of origin. They provide information to intended parents about the steps involved in the process, put patients in contact with the rest of professionals involved, and coordinate the procedure. They travel with you during your trips to the destination country, and help you overcome any potential linguistic barrier.
Surrogacy and egg donation agency. They find the most appropriate woman to carry the pregnancy, and the egg and/or sperm donors, if necessary.
Fertility clinic. It is the place where the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle to achieve a pregnancy in the gestational carrier takes place.
Attorneys. Their function is to review the surrogacy contract to make sure that every formality required to ensure that the baby is able to enter your country of origin without legal complications is done properly.
Escrow account manager. It is strongly recommendable to hire the services of a escrow account manager to supervise all the transactions that are made during the process.
BioTexCom offers all the support through all the stages of surrogacy treatment with them.
I'm here to talk about surrogacy benefits mainly. Our baby was born through surrogacy and I personally have nothing against this treatment plan. So here we go. Surrogacy Benefits for Intended Parents
ReplyDeleteIntended parents come from all different backgrounds — many are same-sex couples or hopeful single parents who are ready to start a family, while others have struggled for years with infertility and have exhausted their fertility treatment options. However, all of these intended parents have one thing in common: a strong desire to add to their families. For these couples and individuals, surrogacy makes this dream possible.
The advantages of surrogacy are clear to the hundreds of families who have been created in this special way. Here are just a few surrogacy benefits that intended parents enjoy:
Surrogacy allows infertile couples, single people and members of the LGBT community to become parents when they may not be able to have children otherwise.
In most cases, gestational surrogacy allows one or both parents to be biologically related to their child.
Surrogacy gives hopeful parents the opportunity to raise a child from birth.
Intended parents are involved throughout the pregnancy experience and are generally able to be present for many key milestones, from the embryo transfer to their baby’s birth.
Surrogacy gives intended parents the opportunity to know and form a special bond with their surrogate and her family.
Intended parents may face fewer restrictions with surrogacy than with adoption; those who cannot adopt due to agency restrictions on factors like age can still pursue surrogacy.
Surrogates have already carried other pregnancies and have a proven uterus, increasing their chances of successfully carrying a surrogate pregnancy. This may make surrogacy more likely to be successful than fertility treatments for intended parents.
Surrogacy gives intended parents more control and peace of mind throughout the pregnancy than they usually have with fertility treatments or adoption.
While surrogacy is not without its challenges for intended parents, it is often the answer to years of hard work and frustration for hopeful couples and individuals who have tried unsuccessfully to add to their families.
So the question arises 'why should we ever ban it?!'
Once the reality starts to sink in, surrogacy is a logical option. I would advise women who worry that health conditions may affect their pregnancy to consult with their dr about the possibility of surrogacy.By far the most difficult path to a surrogacy clinic is through infertility. Couples may ttc for years, experience multiple miscarriages, or even pay thousands of dollars for IVF treatments without success on this journey. Conditions like: PCOS. Primary ovarian insufficiency. Blocked fallopian tubes. Uterine fibroids. Advanced maternal age etc. Seemingly a hundred other things can all lead to infertility. And of course, there’s always the chance that doctors cannot figure out why a couple is infertile. Meaning you're into the case of unexplained infertility. Couples facing infertility have a lot of difficult choices to make. But the aim's the same - The woman desperately wants to experience the joy of pregnancy. If no – then have sb else to carry the baby for her. Surrogacy allows all those dreams come true. The point is to choose the highly respectable, reputable place to be treated at. Which is never easy though. Surrogacy laws vary from country to country. and they can change quickly!! If you're considering the USA for undergoing surrogacy, first and foremost, the surrogate must reside in a state where commercial surrogacy isn’t prohibited. If it is against a state’s law, the court can determine the contract void and participants may even face criminal charges!! Working with a reputable agency is the only way to mitigate these risks. Also having the contracts well explained protects both the intended parents’ and the surrogate’s rights. While a surrogate has rights, the right to keep the child is not one of them in the most of the countries where surrogacy is legal. Once legal parenthood is established, the surrogate has no legal rights to the child and she cannot claim to be the legal mother. In the same vein, the contract protects the surrogate from any kind of legal or medical responsibility for the child. A reputable clinic will always do the comprehensive screening. It includes a full mental health evaluation, clinical interview, and records review. A surrogate should be well educated on the physical and medical implications of surrogacy to make the best decision for her. Medical consent is a major provision within a surrogacy contract. It means that both the intended parents and surrogate must agree to testing for medical conditions and communicable diseases. The surrogate's goal is the same as the IP's – To help them build a family.
DeleteI am 38 and DH 46. We started fertility treatments few months ago. DH with low count but enough for trying. Initially they told me everything looked for me. 2 IUI failed.
ReplyDeleteWe did 2 IVF Cycles: protocol, gonal (450) + low hcg (40 ui) + ganirelix (at the end of the stim cycle). Results??
- 1 cycle: 16 follicles, 8 mature, 4 fertilized via icsi + 1 arrived to day 7 (PSG abnormal)
-2 cycle: 25 follicles, 17 mature, 12 fertilized, 0 survived
I am just devastated, I have no idea how to cope with this and if there is any option to get better results in following cycles. I'm literally not ready to hear ''you need surrogacy'' etc. I don't know what to do. It's hard for me to share on the open forum. That's why I'm posting here. Probably for letting some steam off..Biotex is going to be our next resourt if no luck at A** clinic, Kiev.
This is my personal point of view. Banning surrogacy is really scaring. And for the most part for the intended parents. For those like me surrogacy was the only possible way out. My husband & I have been married almost 8 years and have, unfortunately, suffered multiple miscarriages and an ectopic resulting in rupture and removal of both tubes. Not only was these losses physically tiring considering 2 of the 3 required major, emergency surgery, but they have scared me emotionally, psychologically & traumatized me and my husband to the core. Prior to the tubal I underwent tubal reconstructive surgery in the hopes to successfully conceive naturally without medical issues. We were wrong. 6 months after the surgery, I became pregnant with ectopic pregnancy. After severe hesitation on my end, I finally chose the doctor I would see for IVF & scheduled our consultation. It was great news to hear that I was the ideal candidate for IVF. She even gave us a 75% success rate & financially it was better than expected. Actually we passed 2 ivf cycles with them but never succeeded. Our shot#1 resulted in chemical pregnancy. Shot#2 – BFN. This was unfair game as the next biotexcom clinic we were with resoluted my body had no chances to carry healthy pregnancy. So we moved onto surrogacy. Currently bringing our little daughter up I can't imagine that we could never have seen her in this world because of surrogacy ban. This is huge blessing we can travel overseas achieve our goals with the clinics like ours. The process definitely may rise different emotions among people, couples, countries, religion but this is one of the ways babies may be born to this world. Again for many couples surrogacy is the only chance to experience parenthood. People also quote for addoption instead. But it clearly never offers any genetic relation which is vital to some couples. Panic shouldn't be spreaded between people on the matter, just let them have another chance to complete their families.
ReplyDeleteOn the surface, banning surrogacy seems to prevent a slew of legal, emotional, and cultural issues. However, there will always be families hoping to grow with no other options, surrogacy is then driven underground. In some countries, surrogacy is an unchecked and dangerous practice. In Ukraine surrogacy is a properly regulated service.
ReplyDeleteSurrogacy laws here seem even more favourable for intended parents then for surrogates. Many countries banning surrogacy start with the belief that it takes advantage of poor, needy women. The concept of surrogacy compensation being exploitative ignores the financial stability offered many of the surrogate mothers post-pregnancy. In some countries, a single surrogate pregnancy can provide the mother a life changing sum of money. I believe that the money given a surrogate can keep her family supported and prevent more drastic and illegal measures, such as prostitution. Frequently there is concern that the surrogate mother will bond with the child and be unable to give it up when the baby is born. But this is impossible due to Ukrainian legislation. Once a baby is conceived it realtes to intended parents only! This was the hugest factor for us whilst seeking the clinic/country where to pass surrogacy treatment. With Ukrainian Biotexcom we were sure to avoid any sort of the hassle!
On the whole, surrogates and intended parents have the opportunity to change each other’s lives. The surrogate carrier gains financial stability and the new parents are given the child they’ve been dreaming of. Ukrainian qualified surrogacy centers are equipped to handle these issues as well as ensure well being for all parties involved. In many cases, countries banning surrogacy drives the practice underground, which only complicates matters further.
Ukraine is a perfect destination for infertility treatments, surrogacy in particular. Firstly, it's more affordable comparing to the US and the UK options for example. Costs may vary from 32k to 50k comparing to those in the US up to 150k!! On the whole, surrogacy costs will largely depend on two factors. The first is the cost of living in the selected country, which greatly influences the surrogate’s compensation. For example, while surrogates in the Ukraine receive less than half the net pay as American surrogates, their real compensation equals about the same as American surrogates when adjusted for cost of living.The second factor is cost of medical care, which is exceptionally high in the United States but is relatively cheap for the same level of care in clinics overseas. American clinics are often touted as the best worldwide, but success rates at quality IVF clinics in Ukraine or Mexico are similar. Meanwhile the cost of an IVF procedure in the US is about 35k, while overseas the same procedure costs about 6k. For surrogacy programs in Ukraine, payments are usually divided into relatively equal, manageable phases. By managing the pace of the program, future parents can also manage when payments come due.
DeleteMost Ukrainian clinics consult with future parents at no charge until they are confident to move forward. It’s the agent’s first task to help you decide if surrogacy is the best solution for you. (As in some cases it may not be.) If an agent attempts to sell you a program without first reviewing your situation in depth and reviewing all opportunities and inherent risks, that should be an immediate red flag!! Remember! The primary role of the clinic is to help you reduce your total surrogacy costs while improving your chance of success. Biotexcom for example invented all-inclusive packages which cover everything outside the plane tickets. (We're currently passing ivf with donor egg with the clinic). This includes the following.
DeleteProfessional consultation. Agency fee. When you decide to start the procedure and want to make specific plans for your procedure, the agency fee is due. It is paid only once. (Typical services provided by your agency fee: liaising with the surrogate, the clinic, the egg door agency, and other service providers.) Administration fees for the donor and surrogate. This fee is typically paid when the parents are ready to choose an egg donor or surrogate. The payment covers the cost of evaluating and initially preparing your surrogate. At that time a series of fertility tests, medical evaluations, psychological test, legal background check, and more are performed. Surrogates must pass each step before she is assigned to a couple. Initial clinical start-up fees. It also is a financial commitment to the clinic that you will follow through on the surrogacy procedure. It is due when parents schedule their initial visit to the clinic to leave their sperm sample, or when they engage with the clinic to plan their egg donation. Surrogate compensation. (In the US the local laws often demand that entire surrogate compensation is paid up-front into an escrow account. Payments are then released to the surrogate each month during the pregnancy. In this case there is typically a very large initial payment once the surrogate has been selected and signed. But this is balanced by very small payments made during the pregnancy itself.) In overseas programs the surrogate compensation is typically paid month-by-month during the pregnancy. IVF procedure and embryo transfer: This fee pays for the egg donation, IVF procedure, and first embryo transfer. Different clinics and agencies will treat the cost of medication differently. At Biotexcom a well-managed program includes the cost of the medication in the original budget. (In other cases the cost of meds is added on as an extra expense!!). Prenatal care. In the US payment for prenatal care begins when the surrogate is confirmed pregnant. This pays for the surrogate’s housing and prenatal exams, ultrasounds, and personal oversight (including housekeeping, travel, clothing allowance, etc.) These payments are not refundable, so the cost of prenatal care is generally separated into installments. If for some reason the pregnancy terminates, future installments are not needed, but the intended parents will lose any payments made to that point. Payment can be made every month, or every trimester of the pregnancy. But this is not the question with Ukrainian clinics. Yet one step included into the package price. Delivery and recovery. This payment covers the cost of the delivery of the baby and the post-natal care of the surrogate. In some programs the surrogate’s final compensation is withheld until after the delivery to ensure she continues to be available during the bureaucratic process of apply for citizenship, passports and the return home of the baby. Finally, bureaucracy and the return home. Biotexcom has a greater portion of the paperwork needed to register the baby’s birth and start the process of establishing the baby’s citizenship. That often includes the birth certificate, copies of the surrogacy contract, and hospital records of the birth.

ReplyDeleteYep, there are so many options. But some of them are very sketchy. We can definitely read some horror surrogacy stories happened in Thailand and India. After much gleaning in forums, it becomes clear that Ukraine may be the choice. First, it is relatively affordable. With the research done, with all-inclusive plans starting at 32k up to 50k. They covers absolutely everything outside the plane tickets. Also meds and all things that involve IVF for you if you are using your own eggs, surrogate screening and medical costs, and birth at the hospital.

Lastly, this is going to be time-wise. Pregnancy usually starts right after embryos are created because many women participate in surrogacy in Ukraine. Just be accurate with your decisions. and never do thosee in haste. Good luck, everybody.
ReplyDeleteWhat also bothers with the US law is that in some states surrogate mothers retain a parental right to the child. She can even pursue custody!! Even though the embryos placed in the surrogate have both of your DNA, the surrogate mother’s name is on the birth certificate! And then you have to go through the process of adopting the baby in court! One of the biggest factors is also time. All of the legal paperwork, signing a contract, matching a surrogate, having the surrogate go through the work-up, and so on, and next thing you know..It’s been a year or two since you started the process! One additional fact is that a couple can pay the surrogate directly. This assures that they are being paid well for their efforts and aren’t abused by the agency. As far as I know, the average monthly income for Ukraine is around $200. So I believe the compensation can make better changes into their lives. Many ladies here will say it's immoral to offer being a surrogate for money. But here I won't agree. Ladies should be compensated for that they are going through as it's done in a cough. Coming back to Ukrainian legislation favourable for intended parents. In Ukraine the baby is yours from the moment conceived!! A surrogate has no rights to hold your baby after delivery. So keeping babies by surrogates after they are born is just out of the question. Which does set one's mind in peace. Again in the UK for example, the woman who gives birth is always treated as the mother in UK law and has the right to keep the child. Even if they’re not genetically related. However, parenthood can be transferred by parental order or adoption. Also surrogacy contracts aren’t enforced by UK law. (Even if you’ve a signed deal with your surrogate and have paid for her expenses!)It’s illegal to pay a surrogate in the UK, except for their reasonable expenses. As for father’s rights. The child’s legal father or ‘second parent’ will be the surrogate’s husband or partner unless: legal rights are given to someone else through a parental order or adoption. Or the surrogate’s husband or civil partner didn’t give their permission to their wife or partner.(If your surrogate has no partner, or they’re unmarried and not in a civil partnership, the child will have no legal father or second parent unless the partner actively consents.) This all is really terrifying for me! That's why I'm pointing at so many obvious reasons to consider Ukrainian surrogacy route.
DeleteThe key principle must be the best interests of the child. I've read somewhere. In adoption, a child already exists, and needs a family. Bringing a child into existence in a situation where the birth mother is supposed to detach from the child from conception is an experiment with untested outcomes. Everyone sympathises with infertile couples, but where do we draw the line? Now many of the developing countries whose low costs and lack of legal restrictions had made them popular surrogacy destinations are trying to end the business. Thailand barred foreigners from paying for surrogacy in 2015. Nepal banned it, even when unpaid, later that year. India, where surrogacy had been a booming business for more than a decade, suddenly barred foreign clients a few months later. A bill before its parliament would allow only unpaid surrogacy by close relatives. These new laws were intended to protect surrogates from exploitation. But what if they know perfectly well what they are doing. What if they fully understnd the role they are playing in the inferile couple's life?! What if surrogates are the only chance for people to have genetically related kids and now what?? - ban it?! This is really great the countries are all different with law variations. And this is great people still can come to Ukraine and leave it with their long awaited baby. And there is nothing dreadful about that as for me. Couples know what they're expecting from the treatments. So I don't think they'll do any harm to their kids in future concerning documents, citizenship or sth of this kind. They just know what for they are doing this. Moreover Ukrainian law favours the IP more then surrogates. This prevents them from loosing their money and from surrogates unwilling to give up babies after delivery. They don't have any legal rights for that in Ukraine. For me this is purely a fair procedure where everyone knows perfectly his role.
ReplyDeleteCambodia officials struggled a lot to decide how to treat surrogacy from a legal perspective. The lack of laws made the infertility treatment widely available, but also risky. The move to restrict surrogacy in Cambodia is not surprising. They excluded only those infertility treatments that may relate to surrogacy. For example, IVF procedures can continue as planned. Oocytes can be imported/exported from the country. Embryos can be conceived and moved to alternative clinics. Only the embryo transfer procedure has been prohibited if the recipient is a surrogate mother. But there are always some ways our. For example, Ukraine which has the most supportive legislation for surrogacy worldwide. A surro has no legal rights for the baby. The baby is considered to be IP's from the moment of conception. IP are the legal parents of the baby. Besides our clinic, for examle, helps IP with the exit process so that they can take their baby home as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteBanning surrogacy is never way out..This is my opinion.
Friend of mine has recently undergone surrogacy in Ukraine, Biotexcom. We all know that in gestational surrogacy, the baby isn't genetically related to the surrogate. The egg comes from the intended mother or an egg donor. The sperm comes from the intended father or a sperm donor. Donor embryos may also be used.
ReplyDeleteUsing a surrogate may be a good option if:
You don't have a uterus.
You have problems with your uterus.
You can't carry a pregnancy safely.
Other fertility treatments have failed.
You're a single man or gay male couple.
While doing research my friends were sure that using a surrogate was going to be a legally complex and emotionally intense process. They were told to be prepared to commit a lot of time, money, and patience. First, they looked onto the US. Currently, a handful of states allow gestational surrogacy contracts. But they aren't always enforceable, depending on what's legal. Some states require couples to be married. Some don't allow gestational surrogates to be compensated. Also, there may be requirements about sexual orientation. Although they were going to be very involved in the pregnancy. They expected to pay the gestational surrogate's expenses, including medical appointments, health insurance bills, travel costs, legal bills, and agency fees (if using one). All this seemed to complicated for them. So they continued doing research, once stopped at Ukrainian options. Came across BioTexCom and finally signed up with them.
Thanks for sharing. My husband and I had been TTC for years with no luck. I guess it's probably been the same experience that most people on here are going though. The hope every month then the devistation every month. I was tired. if I didn't want to be a mother so badly I'd probably have thrown in the towel by then becuase it was too emotionally taxing. Offline, I had no where to really talk about it. It was like everyone I knew was pregnant or had kids. or had decided they were not going to have them. (Mostly for health-related reasons.) I felt really, really alone in that. - Like there was something wrong with me that it was so easy for everyone else I knew to get pregnant. those who had shared their "journey" made it sound so easy!! They decided they wanted a child. Or even they just had a "surprise!" - And it was like the easiest thing in the world!! Even when you're in school, they made it sound like you know, you miss one pill or don't use a condom once and you'll just get pregnant, easy-peasy. Yeah- not so much..I'm glad there are still lovely surros in the world who can help us with our needs.
ReplyDeleteI was 34 when our 3rd IUI failed. My husband and I agreed that we would move on after that. However, since insurance didn’t cover any part of IVF and money doesn’t grow on trees, to say we were beyond stressed and didn’t know how to take on IVF at the time. I hate thinking back on those months of not knowing what we were going to do! My husband and I sat down and weighed out all the pros and cons (when we were both relaxed and could really talk about it.) We came to the conclusion no matter what, IVF would be worth it. Though faced failures again. Multiple – with own and donor eggs. Finally got luck with our last DE surrogacy shot at Biotexcom clinic, Kiev.
ReplyDeleteSo from my own experience it takes time and patience to select a successful fertility center. When you screen potential IVF/surrogacy sites, ask questions! Research the clinics in your area. Compare the various sites based on different qualities such as:
Are the physicians board certified?
What specialties are they certified in?
