Hey dear, I really feel sad for your friend. TTC is a tough journey. Everyone is confused at the start. It is mandatory. But the fact is you have to choose best for you. Every process or treatment has its own consequences. You cannot rely on one. IVF and surrogacy both are the alternatives for having a baby. Your friend should consult a good doctor. When the doctors will check her health they will guide her best. But for me, I would recommend her surrogacy. Surrogacy is the most acceptable process. It should be handled with care. Make sure you make the right legal requirements. Best of luck dear. I hope your friend gets the best.
