The time when MHKR turned me into a blogger

[SiljeNor]

Hi everyone! My name is Silje, I am from Sweden!

Nice to meet you all.

I am a new member of this community, so I guess I should post a brief introduction! I am 38 yo, diagnosed with MRKH at the age of 19. Long story short, I was not getting my period and was really worried about my health. Well, as I went to a gynecologist, I was told that they couldn't find cervix. That led to a set of examinations. I have no uterus, no cervix, plus other common symptoms. I do not want to get in too much detail here, in the introduction post. So I'll keep it at that.

I have decided to create an account here to see what other people are doing in my situation, I am on a mission to sign a surrogacy contract with a clinic or an agency. I have already planned everything but I am not sure whether it is a right decision for me. Well, I know that I want to have kids, my partner obviously knows about my condition and is very supportive for which I am eternally thankful. We did not have a choice except to go for surrogacy if we want my husband to be the father. So, now I am patrolling forums and reading about other women's experiences. Which is totally helpful.

I hope to find some support here and if possible help others as well.

Hi Silje. You might like to look at surrogacyuk.org

Obviously I wish you both well with this. Diane

Hi! Thank you actually for your support. It was really a piece of helpful information. I’ll try that reference. I’m always browsing through the platforms proving an insight on surrogacy, agencies and other. Also I ready other people’s posts on the forums. Honestly, I couldn’t even imagine how many couples have already passed through it. Happily, there is a lot of info on Internet. I hope all goes wonderfully in your journey! I’m going to PM you but a little bit later. First of all, I’d like to check out my options.

Hey! I’m so sorry for that you did have to overcome what you describe. It’s really sad. I hope you will find the way out or something to solve the issue.

Having plans for becoming a parent, you’re unfortunately seriously limited with options. I experienced surrogacy on my own. It was a couple of years ago. The result helps to forget all that bad what happened to us.

I keep in touch with some clinics in Ukraine and in Georgia, also in California where I am now. Today I’m no longer a patient or client. I’m kind of their partner and able to tell you all the details of the contracts and conditions of staying there during the treatment or surrogacy program. It can be so in case you are ready to consider any option like that. I can connect you with surrogacy agencies only in two countries so far. It’s not my daily working. It’s sort of hobby. I merely understand which difficulties we pass through during the decision-making period and then during the surrogacy process. I hope all will be fine. And you’ll be feeling as a happy woman, a happy mother one day. And it has to come sooner.
