    Hello everyone! Hope you will welcome me here on this platform. I am new here.
    My name is Bethany although you might refer to me as rhutes I won’t mind it. I am 39 years old and starting my surrogacy program. I do not know if it is a common topic here but I have decided that maybe somewhere here I will find support I am seeking for the longest time. Anyways I would be also thankful for your attention too..
    Well, long story short, I had a very tough delivery of my first baby, it was very unfortunate and hard as my baby boy’s life was in a complete danger. He is okay right now, no reasons to worry. But in the middle of the surgery it was decided to remove my uterus. After all I wouldn’t have survived if not for that decision. I am thankful but here I am at the place where life has put me in 8 years ago.
    I know that you may find it egoistic, my decision to have more kids when I have barely delivered Markus but I have always wanted to have a huge family, I wanted to have at least 3 kiddos who would be my happiness and my sunshine. Now at the age of 46 I can say that I have completely recovered from the tragedy I have been through. Emotionally too. My husband says that we can actually go for surrogacy on donor’s eggs but we have to think carefully about it. And I am thinking now.
    Maybe you have some advice, like how to do it properly, I mean surrogacy. Obviously it is going to me the first time I am dealing with something of that sort… Hopefully, I am lucky enough to have in the nearest future a family of my dreams!
    Well, it’s been a long post. Thank you for reading. Good luck!

    Hello Bethany! I'm so sorry about your situation. I'm also new here. I'm 44. I came here to find information about donor eggs. Last year I had failed try of IVF with my own eggs. Now doctors say I need to use donor eggs. This is my only chance to become a mother. So now step by step I get more into this whole procedure. I can't say anything about surrogacy. But I want to wish you all the best with your surrogacy! I hope both of us will find all info we need!

    Hello girls! I'm so sorry about situations you are going through. I'm also new to this forum. My name is Jess. I came here to find support, some advice and of course information about infertility and ivf. The thing is that recently I've got to know that my only chance to have a baby is ivf with donor eggs. To be honest I feel like I'm not ready for such a big step. That's why I decided to come here and talk to people who know smth about this procedure. I'm very confused. I have so many questions! I hope you will help me.

    Hello Bethany,
    Good to interact with you. Welcome to this amazing forum. Your story is really touching. Glad that you know that your dream to be a mother did not end with your uterus being removed. Surrogacy with donor eggs is a very good option. I am also using assisted methods of conception. I am in the early stages of IVF. Baby dust to you girl.

    Hello Betheany! I hope you are doing great love. We all have dreams we are ready to sacrifice everything for. It is normal that you have one too. I am glad that your is such a beautiful one. I think that you should opt for surrogacy. If that is the only way you have left to realize your dreams. So be it than do it and never look back. You see some decision seem hard when in fact they are simple. Sometimes we put pressure on ourselves for no clear reason. I want to also warmly welcome you to the forum. Here you will find two things: Support and Advice. So if you eer need any of these make sure to drop by with a message. God bless you dear. Udpate on the future on what you will do!
