I am not fine at this point. My malignancy, it is deteriorating. I truly need to be a mother. We have been attempting to make sense of this.

They were about their IUI procedure. I don’t know about surrogacy. I have emailed them several times. They don’t reply. I think I should keep clear of them I guess. I will keep searching for some good clinic then.

Well there is no best time. Whenever you feel you should. But there should be a minimum gap of 2 years I think. If you need a personal opinion though, here goes. If I were you I would have the second child after 3 years. Exactly 3 years. No more no less. But sadly I can’t have a child. Not even one. I have endometrial…[Read more]

I wanna be a mom so bad. But my doctor says it is better not to give my body the stress of pregnancy. Also I am not sure if I can get pregnant ever. I have cancer in my uterus. I am looking into surrogacy too. Hope to get some genuine help here.

We also went through alot. I had 2 IUI and 3 ivf in America. But it didn’t work for us. I was so heartbroken. Then my husband suggested surrogacy in Ukraine. I was not sure about it.

I would have loved this headsup when I was in search of a clinic. So I’m sure it’ll help many. Thanks a lot for sharing. I went through a surrogacy process. I have a beautiful daughter now.

Actually there are many ladies suffering from PCOS. I hear every second woman talking about her PCOS. It is prevailing all over the world. I guess lifestyle and envirnoment are the major cause of it.

That is exactly what I felt during the three years of ttc. Although nobody had the intention of hurting me. But I was hurt by everyone. I started avoiding everyone. But thankfully the surrogacy proved to be a miracle.

Sticking to that hope that keeps us going is the most important part. You are right. There is a solution to almost everything. We just need to find it. Surrogacy worked for me as well.

And trust me, I know cinceiving a baby can be realky hard. In my case, it proved to be impossible. I was left with no where to go.

But doctors don’t reject seeing patients because their cases are difficult. At least here they don’t. Get some necessary scans done. See if the baby is ok and stable. You will need some extra care throughout the pregnancy. Good luck dear. I hope you make it.

We should not give up in any situation. Mostly people give up because they know not much about what are the ways out. I mean I wouldn’t believe flying was possible if i hadn’t known planes.

Days when I was in the same situation. It was too difficult to handle everything. But at that time surrogacy helped us. I am glad we chose surrogacy. You may go for it. Wishing you luck and success.

I remember when I was declared infertile. It was heartbreaking. My husband encouraged me to not give up. We decided that we’ll go in for fertility treatment. We opted for IUI. All the choices were open for me. AAs my infertility was an unexplained one. So anyways, two iui and no success. Then we went…[Read more]

I think surrogacy is, no doubt, a liffe changing experience. And the surrogates are the real heroes. They go through so much just to see others happy. No doubt it is the biiggest reward.
