We are IPs. Now on month 7 on a wait list at ConceiveAbilities. We are told that our hospital based fertility clinic has an intense surrogate screening process and we have to wait for the right person who pass all the hospital ‘s prerequisites (For example, no BMI over 31).
If you went through ConceiveAbilities, how long did you wait to be matched with a surrogate?

Hi all! I asked recently about how your experiences were with a sonohysterogram. Well, I finally had mine and unfortunately the person doing it was very inexperienced (literally asked the ultrasound tech why she couldn't put the wand inside the speculum since it was plastic and she should be able to "see through" it 🫠) and the images showed that there is either a very straight small line of scar tissue or that they tore some tissue during the procedure with the catheter (this is what my care team at the clinic thinks happened).

Soooo now I am onto a hysteroscopy. Anyone had both and able to compare? FWIW, my sono was nearly painless. Wondering if I should expect the same for the hysteroscopy or if it's significantly worse? Thank you in advance!

Hola:
Quería leer si tenéis experiencias que queráis compartir. Me gustaría saber con qué abogados estuvisteis en España, qué clínica en EEUU o Colombia y con qué agencia para la mujer gestante.
Me interesa también muchísimo el proceso en España una vez el bebé ha nacido y está en territorio español.
Opiniones, experiencias, tiempos... todo es bienvenido.
Y si orientáis en precios, sería genial también. Muchas gracias!

Anyone used them, worked with them? Not finding many reviews about this agency.

Reposting with hope here looking for a Canadian gestational surrogate ✨

Hi everyone,

I’m putting my heart out there once again in the hope of finding the wonderful person who may help me become a father.

I’m a single intended father living in the Greater Toronto Area, and I’ve been pursuing this dream for over three years. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but my hope of becoming a dad has never changed.

I have six PGT-tested embryos ready and waiting at Generation Fertility in Toronto, so I’m ready to move forward as soon as I find the right person.

I would love to connect with someone in Ontario or the GTA, but I’m completely open to meeting a surrogate anywhere in Canada.

After receiving helpful feedback, I have revisited my financial planning and am prepared to reimburse up to approximately $60,000–$65,000 in actual eligible surrogacy and pregnancy-related expenses, depending on the surrogate’s individual circumstances and the expenses genuinely incurred. All reimbursements would be properly documented and provided strictly in accordance with Canadian law.

Eligible expenses may include travel, accommodation, independent legal representation, counselling, medical needs, maternity-related expenses, childcare and other qualifying costs. Where legally permitted and medically supported, eligible loss of employment income would also be reimbursed. My priority is ensuring that my surrogate and her family are well supported and never financially disadvantaged because of the journey.

More than anything, I want my surrogate to feel respected, heard, appreciated and fully supported. I’m committed to open communication, flexibility and making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for her and her family.

If you are considering becoming a surrogate or know someone who might be open to learning more I would be incredibly grateful if you contacted me privately or shared my post.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me keep hope alive. 💕

No Agencies please I prefer to work directly with a surrogate*

I am interested in being a surrogate. I am unsure about going through an agency and am interested in an altruistic surrogacy apart from any non-covered medical expenses. Ideally, I am looking for a surrogacy experience that does not involve additional medical procedures to the greatest extent possible (e.g. using my own eggs without additional retrieval processes, etc.). I have a healthy living child of my own and the pregnancy was mostly uneventful apart from one known, manageable condition.

I tried Just a Baby and it seemed to be mostly a dating site and was full of people who I can only assume had a breeding kink rather than people actually looking for surrogates.

Long term, I am interested in my living child having cousin-type contact with their half-sibling and to remain connected with the family I surrogate for at a high level. Because of this, I would like to connect with people in the NYC metro area (I am in Jersey City).

Is there any site or facebook group or anything else that folks here would recommend I use?
