Thought I’d pop a little update on here. We picked ourselves up after the final fail of the last DE frostie, with the plan to do another donor round with my sisters eggs, but to use a surrogate. We saw Mr Ramsay to check on sperm issues, and he said actually hubby’s dna fragmentation is actually fine, it’s oxidative chemicals in the semen itself so we need icsi to bypass it!
We have joined lots of surrogacy groups and im happy to say that I’m not finding it too scary! I’ve connected with a wonderful woman my age with 3 kids wanting to do her first surro journey, and me and my hubby are meeting her and her hubby for lunch next weekend. I’m hoping we can become great friends and share something amazing.
After all that we have been through let’s just hope new eggs, icsi, and a new uterus do the job.
Love to all xx

Good luck with this next stage - you so deserve this and I so hope your dream will come true! However things come about, new life is truly incredible! ❤️Xxx
Best of luck ! Do you mind me asking if you joined surrogacy UK ? Or are there many other agencies also you can join? I only ask as I'm thinking of investigating this too as after 6 months of various immunes treatment s my immunes are twice the maximum level.
We have completed all the forms to join SUK, but I haven’t got around to posting them oops!
There are so many independent groups now for finding a surrogate, some better than others. The best one I’ve found is Missing Piece Surrogacy UK (not the one that has the word community in the title) but there are a few others - happy surrogacy, and The Forum. It was through an indy group I have got chatting to a few ladies and suddenly realised an agency isn’t necessary. You can also be a member of the SUK Facebook if you aren’t already.
SUK would require a GP letter saying that you are unable to carry, Indy matches nothing so specific.
Thanks so much for replying. I didn't know there were so many agencies out there. What is Indy group if you don't mind me asking?
Also I don't really use FB is this the best way of contacting with others? I came off FB as it made me sad seeing others posting pics of babies and scan photos. But if that's the way then will give it another go.
Unfortunately I think Facebook is a must. But it’s really supportive to be honest so it’s worth it. I don’t ever go on and scroll but I go straight to the missing piece group and chat.
Indy just means independent, so you match yourself and do your own agreements. It’s not so scary. SUK has almost 12 months waitlist so I think it’s worth trying indy too. Xx
If you set up a new account make sure that your profile photo is a clear photo of you, it makes it much easier for people in surrogacy groups to feel like they want to get to know you when they can see you as a person and a bit about you. Plus shows you’re not an oddball just lurking! People with anonymous photos don’t do that well really xx
