Hello all, need some advice here. I am 38 and my dh 42. We had been trying for 6 years almost without success and then a miracle happened and I conceived but the pregnancy didn’t even last for 2 months, we were devastated and broken, but did not lose hope and then again started trying and again the same happened. This happened twice, I was totally broken this time and my husband hopes shattered, but he was of immense support and urged me to go and see a specialist as to what is the problem and why can’t I keep the pregnancy. Then we seek medical advice and our specialist told that I couldn’t carry the baby and would be difficult for me getting pregnant again. Hearing this I just fainted and felt broken inside that I can never be a mother. Then the specialist told that the only way is through surrogacy.My husband has been very supportive and is always by my side to help me, I know he is broken too but doesn’t show his emotions. He is more determined than me to have a baby. Seeing him has also given me courage and I am ready to take on this journey. I live in USA and have been looking for options here, but the treatment is very expensive and was looking at options in other countries as well, some have cheap treatment but I am not sure which one should I go for. We are considering getting surrogacy abroad, so wanted help in which country to choose. Any suggestions please.

Looking for surrogacy clinic abroad
Hi there, sorry to hear about your losses and good to hear that your husband is supportive and that you both are determined to have it done. I will share with you my story and recommendations. I had surrogacy about 2 years ago and now have a beautiful princess. I am 35 now and married for 7 years. Started trying after 4 years of getting married because both were working and I just had started my career and didn’t wanted children at that time, but later thought that why we delayed. It is really depressing to know that you can’t bear children, I can understand how you must be feeling. I had 6 failed IVF attempts and then finally considered surrogacy. To start with my doctors and friends recommended many clinics in Ukraine, India and Russia. I live in Bratislava so considered Ukraine for surrogacy. I did my extensive research on the internet and listed out some clinics in Ukraine and then again researched their websites and discussed about it on some forums and got positive answers. There were couples from all over the world. They pay for the transport, accommodation and meals. The treatment cost is all inclusive. Many people are going or have done surrogacy in this clinic and I am one of them, if you want more info please message me. Hope that helps you.
Hi Stefany, could you please advise if you used your own eggs for surrogacy? If yes, how many were there? And how many were transferred into your surrogate mother? I would also appreciate it if you could share info concerning their quality. The thing is that I want to use my own eggs for surrogacy, but they are of medium quality, so I wonder if you had the same problem. My husband's quality is good, so he's out of question. Thanks in advance!
Hello ladies! I'm in the same boat as you. And I'm so glad to take part in this conversation!
My infertility journey is almost the same as yours, so I really share your pain. I'm almost 40, my hubby is 3 years older. I had 5 IVF attempts, 2 of which ended in MC, others were chemical pregnancies 😢 After the last IVF I was diagnosed with thin endometriosis, caused by Clomid It could be treated, but I have no strength to continue my IVF struggle. It's been too painful and devastating... And costly. So right now I'm regaining my peace and starting to consider surrogacy. But I would be extremely grateful if those of you who decided to have surrogacy soon could share your experience and describe every step of the process. I wish you all to have your own successful stories about surrogacy motherhood! And I really hope to join you in this journey soon! Good luck to all of you!
Hi there, wish you all the luck in the world! And will be waiting for hearing from you, as I am considering surrogacy at present. And Ukraine is an option of interest to me. But I've heard that there's war going on in there. Have you got any information about that? Also, could you please tell me if you are going to use your own eggs for surrogacy? And what is the name of the clinic you are going to visit? You can pm me this information. Thank you!
Hello, please do not mention clinics by name on this forum or posts will be deleted/edited. Please refer to our posting guidelines. Many Thanks, Hannah
You guys are doing good. This will be the best option nowadays . I support surrogacy. People with infertility should opt surrogacy. Though IVF is successful in some cases, it is not. My Freind was suffering from that.she decided to get IVF treatment. In her case, it was not successful. She visited clinic in UK .they deal with surrogacy . So her embryo was transferred into another female. Because her body was not able to conceive. She opted for surrogacy. This was successful. She had twins through. It was less expensive there. So surrogacy is the best option. child will be biologically yours. Your family will accept this situation after some time. Don't worry. Best of luck everyone.
Dear, I am so impressed by your determination. This is an appreciable decision of trying surrogacy. As far as the expense is concerned. Ukraine offers infertility treatment at most affordable rates. I have double checked this as I am also opting for surrogacy. My husband and I were very conscious while finalizing the clinic. We live in Ireland so we wanted to finalize a reliable clinic and then visit afterward. So we emailed many famous clinics in Ukraine to get the necessary information. We came across many frauds, scams, and careless clinics like L***s. We literally begged them to guide us as we have been TTC for 10 years and we don't want to waste any further time now. But they didn't cooperate at all. We were lucky enough to get a response from another famous and dependable clinic. We discussed our case and get all the relevant information from them. We are very pleased and contented and are ready to visit them. We are just waiting for my DHs' leave approval from office. As soon as his leave gets approved, we will take the first flight to Ukraine.
