Most women have good pregnancies. But I would say [gestational carriers] have exceptional pregnancies. Where they really just feel great the whole time. It’s so worth it at the end that they don’t mind it. There are other, less altruistic reasons, why a woman might want to become a gestational carrier. Namely, the money. Surrogate moms are compe…[Read more]

Stormi replied to the topic Frozen Embryo Transfer in the forum Transfer 8 years, 3 months ago
The success rates of an FET cycle are comparable to fresh IVF cycles—and sometimes result in a higher success rate because of the opportunity to optimize the lining of the uterus before implantation, among other reasons. Both fresh and frozen cycles have the same primary indicator for success: the maternal age at the time of embryo freezing. M…[Read more]

Stormi replied to the topic In-Laws are not on board with Surrogacy in the forum Family Life 8 years, 3 months ago
Maybe I can share mu views about the bible and surrogacy. Christians are not unanimous in their opinion about surrogacy. The Catholic Catechism states that a child is a gift not a right, and that surrogacy is “gravely immoral” because a third party comes between the “one flesh” principle that unites husband and wife. The question of surrogacy is…[Read more]

Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. As a woman ages, her eggs age with her, diminishing in quantity and quality. Age is not something we can control. But if you want a baby or another baby, and you’re in a relationship, you can have a conversation with your partner sooner rather than later. The father’s age can also impact on cha…[Read more]

42 years ttc. I feel that is a bit unrealistic. This is the reason the doctor told you to go for egg or embryo donation. You are healthy regarding to what you have just shared. The problem is that you cannot keep the pregnancy. But your eggs are fertile enough. So what have you been doing all along that you are trying now to have a baby? It is…[Read more]

Sperm nobility is when the sperms cannot move well. Or rather they are not mobile enough. As we all know that the sperms need to reach the egg in the oviduct. But then when the sperms cannot do this by themselves. Then they need to be boosted. As what the injection did. But since then was past. There were not much enhancement in the medical field.…[Read more]

Cause concerning the quality and quantity it might be…[Read more]
