Hello dear , I read your post and i just want to discuss about surrogacy . It is like a priceless gift for those couples who are unable to get the baby with the natural process .

Couples settle on surrogacy when customary methods for considering a baby have fizzled, this additionally incorporates into vitro treatment, or it is risky for the couple to get pregnant and conceive an offspring. The accompanying medicinal conditions generally require surrogacy:

> Malformation of or disease in the womb

> Absence or evacuation of womb by hysterectomy

> Recurring unnatural birth cycles

> Repeated disappointment of IVF

> Other conditions that make incomprehensibly or hazardous for a lady, for example, extreme coronary illness

Hope it will help you !!!!

Hey Smudge26,

For me, the important thing was to consider all options. So I gathered information about every option available out there(different solutions- donor egg IVF, donor embryos, further tests , adoption, surrogacy). I then looked at different countries, and different clinics in these countries. I made an informed decision after collecting as much information as I could.

I would suggest that you do something similar and look at all the facts, and see what solution fits your circumstances.

People in these message boards can give you some information, but it's the clinics who can answer your questions fully.

As to the other couple, I'm not sure exactly how or what they said. I'm guessing they just explained what they could and could not do. The first visit to Surrogacyinfo clinic involves a lot of tests so they must have found something in these tests for that lady. Personally, I think it's great that they tell you straight away what is available to you.

You can also search for Surrogacyinfo on the internet and you'll find a lot of information about the same.

Also, just to let you know, for Surrogacyinfo, you have to have some tests done in your country and send the results to them before you go and visit them for your first appointment. We spent around £1000 on doing these tests.

Good luck with your journey :)

always remember one thing.The reasons why you got here do not matter.What matters is now you have decided to embark this journey.So stay strong and also do not overdo the expenses.One should be very mindful of the expenses.There are different types of surrogacy.with egg donation, without egg donation.Really depends on the needs. I think the most important factor to be catered for is the expense.Point being the process is simple enough (from a technology point of view) to be carried out by any clinic.So why waste money on expensive clinics?I am going through the same finding process. I have found this one clinic that seems to meet my needs.Let's see how it goes with them.So far the response has been positive.hit me up if you need more information.

I personally have a long history of contact with surrogacy. I had to have my uterus removed early into my marriage. I had developed a lot of cysts. This was a dark time. eventually me and my husband began to research alternate methods. We eventually settled on using surrogacy to have our child. We found a really amazing clinic in Ukraine. We met our surrogate over there and before long I had my son with me. My advice to you is simple. The most important thing in surrogacy is the clinic. A good clinic can make all the difference. For example my clinic being based in the Ukraine was far cheaper than ones in the US. Along with that though it also handled all of the legal parts of the process for us. They even gave me and my husband an infinite number of attempts so we were basically guaranteed to have a child. Secondly make sure you have a good surrogate. The surrogate is going to carry your child so make sure that you know her well. When you go the clinic meet and talk to her. Ask her about her diet and her eating habits and other such things. This is important. Thirdly just be sure this is what you want to do. This is a big decision so take it resolutely.

Hey! I also have been hunting for information regarding surrogacy. For me this might be the last hope for motherhood. The research I have been done yet tells me that it’s kind of a technique where a women if agrees to carry pregnancy for other person and is done if the respective women itself has certain medical complications. You also might find regal restrictions regarding this in some countries. Even some individuals don’t find this appropriate way of attaining motherhood. But personally I don’t find any false in this. As life has left me with no option rather than surrogacy. Thousands of consulting, suggestions is being heard, reviewed but no success. As I am going through so many reviews, forums, websites. I have found much success rates in Ukraine as this is also legal over there. There might be more forums more places who might be offering this treatment. One of the clinic or platform I have heard of in Ukraine on forum discussion. I have gone through the websites that I have also found much informative about stages and all. Being new to explore I am planning to visit Ukraine for this particular thing. would let you know about my experience. if any one of you have information regarding this particular clinic or other you can share with me. This might also help me out.

Hi, I don't think we're allowed to name clinics or medicines here publicly. I would have recommended one, though. I had my surrogacy done 2 years back in a clinic in Europe. Everything turned out very well. I have a baby and a happy family now. Which country are you from? Knowing your location will help to suggest you the right clinics near you. Update soon and good luck with your procedure!

Hey! I hope you will be all right. I just read your post. I think surrogacy is the best option for adoption. In this process, embryo formed outside the body and then it is injected to the uterus of the third mother for further growth and development. I would suggest you choose the specialized treatment for surrogacy. Adopt this method blindly. It is secure and has 95% success chances. That's my opinion.

My sympathies

Surrogacy is an expensive procedure. Those going for it want to have better success rates. The success of the surrogacy depends on several aspects. The foremost thing is the mental and physical strength of the surrogate. Both the sides must communicate with each other very clearly. It is important to understand that what is the relationship of the surrogate. The legal procedures must be complete in all respects before the procedure.

Hi there. I hope you are doing good. You have asked for some good clinic. I would recommend you the clinics in Ukraine. I cant give you one specific name right now but i can tell you what to avoid. But beware of L***s clinic. They are not very responsive. When I decided to go for surrogacy, I tried them first. My mails, and there were more than one, all went unanswered. I, then tried calling them on phone. They were inaccessible there too. I didnt know what to do. It was so frustrating. It felt as if they dont want to provide any kind of service. And it felt personal. So you should consider other options n Ukraine as i have heard the clinics there are cost effective.
