Q: Partial Hysterectomy W/ovaries- Can You Use Surrogate Mother

asked by: grahamblondechick on June 22nd, 2005

New User

I recently turned 40 and had partial hysterectomy 10 years ago; I still have my ovaries but know that egg production is declining with each year. I have had 4 healthy pregnancies and now have 4 healthy grown and almost grown children and am wanting to give my love now who is younger a child. If I have a surrogate mother; can any eggs be retrieved from me and fertifilized with my loves sperm to produce a child for us? Knowing that if I can I will have to act quickly... Does anyone know the answer to this question????? Please help!

Potentially yes.
However this will depend on your ovaries, the number of remaining eggs and the quality of the remaining eggs.
Please note that to advertise for someone to be a surrogate is illegal.
If this is your chosen route please join a regulated body of surrogates and intended parents.
I have more info available if you require it - pm me

a Thank You to Kia....

Thanks so much kia for somewhat answering my question. Yes, I have both ovaries and I kinda thought your answer was the right one but I was wanting some opinions. As far as surrogate mother-that's already in the bag-to use terms lightly. My loves aunt and my bestfriend who is 32 and has already given birth to two healthy children is willing to be a surrogate for us. Thanks again for the info and the willingness to help.
