YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE!


The Biggest Ask forum will be carefully monitored by admin. Users may be asked to re phrase their comments or questions if it comes across as insensitive or harsh. You must be signed in to contribute. Click here to register.

There are two major rules enforced:

  1. Be respectful
    Our aim is to be a place where intended parents and surrogates can get unbiased information about surrogacy in peace. Please refrain from judging others or criticising their choices. Our admin will follow closely and delete any disrespectful comments.
  2. Respect each other's privacy
    Being part of this community requires mutual trust. Authentic and honest discussions will make this forum amazing, but many things said might be private and sensitive.

What's shared here should stay here.

How the Forum works:

  1. Users can earn points:
    • 5 points for starting a conversation that is relevant to surrogacy (limited to one question a day users can ask more questions but they just get 5 points for one)
    • Awarding 5 points for answering a question AND getting a "like". Every additional "like" the person gets earns them 1 additional point.
    • Every week, all users are awarded 5 likes to distribute as they choose. The likes don't roll over so it's just 5 likes a week that they can distribute.
  2. Once a user earns 100 points, we get notified and you'll receive a $100 amazon gift card.
  3. Getting a certain number of points will get you the rank of "experienced surrogate" or "experienced intended parent".

    What should surrogates expect during medical screening appointment? We’ve talked about this on our support calls but thought I would get the question down in one place so everyone can answer what their experience with medical screening was!

    My surrogate did the following during her screening:
    Bloodwork, Saline sonogram and HSG

    Then started meds for a mock transfer, took estrogen, went for a lining check to make sure she responds to the estrogen and then next month we transfer!

    Hi,

    I just returned from my Medical work up. It was scheduled 6 days past cycle day 1. We did a physical exam, exactly like you’d expect from an annual physical exam. Saline sonogram, a ton of questions, blood draw (9 vials) and a urine sample. The whole thing was about 45 minutes, super easy!
