Surrogacy for research project

[Niki2217]

Hello girls,

I'm new here. I've not diagnosed infertility yet, I've done some tests and hope everything will went well. I'll try to find out for my personal diagnosis though this network.

Besides that, I'm a researcher. I'm working on a project about surrogacy as an option for infertility. I would appreciate if you could share your thought with me about surrogacy, your general opinion, would you be surrogate mother or would you use surrogate mother to get a newborn.

What are pro and cons arguments?

Stay positive and don't give up!

Hello Niki , you know that surrogacy is an option for infertility . It is like a god gift for those who want their own baby and don't want to go for adoption.In these modern times some people avoid adoption because of several reasons like family issues etc .

But surrogacy is not a bad thing its another way to get your own baby if your partner have some health issues and can't be able to give you baby .

Hi. Surrogacy isn't actually a solution to surrogacy. What I mean is that it doesn't make you fertile. Neither does it allow you to conceive. However, you can still have a baby. The difference is that you won't be carrying your child. A child, you are biologically related to.

I know this thread is napping. Still thought I could share some thoughts. Here are some of the reasons to opt for the surrogate.~ Not having a womb. or womb won't carry the baby to the term. Risk of postpartum depression. Legitimate fear of childbirth. Trauma surrounding the previous pregnancy or birth. Not wanting to stop medical treatments or the physical toll of carrying a baby. Fear that having the baby will impact her career. Having previous miscarriages. Mom and dad are facing genetic challenges and many others. But the most important one for me personally is having infertility issues which prevent you from a healthy pregnancy. I haven't been through surrogacy myself. but we were really considering it to be our last option if IVF didn't work out. Loads of self education had been done since then on the point. The clinic we'd been treated in has all inclusive surrogacy plans + 'guaranteed' plan which is absolutely awesome. asiu.us/surrogacy-packages-...

And yes, I think I could never be a surrogate myself. Even if health issues were out of the question. Even if I were physically and emotionally perfect and was absolutely financially stable in life. I don't think it could be my choice ever. I believe I could never hand my baby born to someone else. Even if I knew he had both of somebodies' genes, not mine..Well this sounds really strange..but this could never be my personal route..At bio texcom we've been recently successful with they have their own pole of donors/surrogates. The thing which amazes is that some ladies participate in the programs several times! Well, I cannot see the explanation for it. Except 1. They are well treated and taken care of there. 2. They wanna help others. 3. They find the process attractive by some means. I truly doubt whether the programs cause them inconvenience. Otherwise they'd never come back again, right? Well, this might be quite a long discussion if more people on here. It's always interesting to discuss sth new. Hope you all have the reasons to smile for today. All the best.
