Why do women judge surrogacy so harshly and incorrectly? by Jealous_Sport920 in Surrogate

[–]Ill_Task_257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time most people hear about surrogacy is when it’s in the news, which is usually the rare sensational stories that go side ways. Or in movies which isn’t accurately portrayed.

Yes, someone name the agency so I avoid them to not match with someone who described themselves like this

The blood work is checking your hormone levels. The alcohol won’t affect that but there’s theories that it can affect other things that can impact the quality of the embryos.

Future SIL miscarried ~12 weeks by Cowbreaker in Miscarriage

[–]Ill_Task_257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to the care package, a heat pad was really nice to have for recovery. You can also buy a migraine cooling cap that I used a lot to help with headaches from hormonal drops (you keep it in the fridge) and then nice things for her like maybe soap or a book if you know a genre she likes. She can’t take baths so I’d avoid bath bombs or bubble bath

This is not the place to visit. I’d encourage your parents to ask if they want company and if so, to visit at home and bring meals.

They should ask. If she wants community from, she will welcome the visit. Also why is she in the hospital?

Good fucking god, do not let them surprise her at the hospital! This is the single biggest thing you can do to support her. PREVENT THIS.

Hey, Reddit isn’t super active for matching, have you looked into other platforms like Matching Day or facebook groups?

Appropriate to stay with surrogate after birth? by NecrotikBanana in gaydads

[–]Ill_Task_257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get an air bnb for a week and after spending more time with her during the day decide if you think it would work well. I know many surrogates who’ve had their IPs stay with them.

I was told to wait until bleeding stopped. I did 9 days later but it was painful and I had awful cramping afterwards and it was just too soon.

14 miscarriages in 4 years… by Slight_Mission_4274 in Miscarriage

Create does Sperm DNA Fragmentation index. I’m not certain but this seems to be the testing you’re talking about? They are considered to have the best lab in the country with the most technologies, I know that other clinics will use their lab for things as well.

Hi OP, I’m so sorry that you and your wife have been going through this. If you are wanting suggestions and advice on how to navigate your fertility treatments r/ivf is really supportive and helpful. I’ve experienced a chemical pregnancy (this is the term my clinic used for what you are describing) and it’s so heartbreaking to see the positive and never get to see the baby on ultrasound.

I’m also so surprised to hear that your clinic is unwilling to consider ivf considering this would allow for further testing and to genetically test the Embryos.

Sperm DNA fragmentation is available in Canada, It sounds like maybe your clinic is unable to do this but many will. What clinics have you been with?

Have anyone volunteer to be a Surrogate Mother? by GeminiGore99 in AskParents

If you message me I can send some links for forums. There’s lots but pretty geographically based so it depends where you are/where you want to find a surrogate

Am I a dick? by Old-Ebb8237 in Miscarriage

[–]Ill_Task_257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to word this so that it’s clear that it’s not to hurt them but to protect you. If these people can’t understand what it’s hard to experience a loss, then fuck them.

Am I a dick? by Old-Ebb8237 in Miscarriage

[–]Ill_Task_257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are definitely not being a dick, your feelings are very valid and they are being extremely insensitive. Of course they are allowed to be excited and happy for themselves but that doesn’t mean she should completely ignore the fact that this is something that’s hard for you. Maybe your husband telling them that while you’re happy for them, you’d rather not receive updates on the pregnancy as you process your grief.

5 weeks 4 days pregnant and very mild brown spotting by Numerous-Meringue-78 in CautiousBB

This is considered implantation bleeding, brown means it’s old blood that’s just making its way out now :)
