Hey/Intro

[scoutradley]

Hi I'm scoutradley. I hang out mostly on GKU although I visit a few other threads/boards as well. After an IUD implant I developed non-STD related PID. I had it for about 8 months until it developed into an acute case. I some how had another case in (I believe) September of last year. Because mine is not typical and seems to be reoccurring for no known reason, we are unsure how much my fertility was affected. We were told I could reinfect myself again and every time I get it, we face more chances of IF. I also know that our chances of loss is higher too. We've been trying since October and had a miscarriage in February. I also had a
suspected CP in 2014 (positive test + late period).

***TW LC mentioned***
We got pregnant quickly with our first and then had the suspected CP (my levels were never checked so that is unconfirmed) when we were TTC a second. The next month I got pregnant with out second. The IUD was placed PP but expelled the next day - there was a lot of trouble placing it due to my weirdly situated cervix. Anyway due to the fact I'm not significantly older than the last time I was KU and the PID issues, we know for sure my fertility was somewhat screwed up but we don't know to what extent at this point.

@eliida I have never heard of endometritis. I just googled it and that definitely sounds like something I need to bring up to my Dr. Thank you!

Hello all!
Now at the age of 43 i am married again to someone else and we want a baby of our own.
I know at this age it is quite difficult to have a baby off my own womb.
Thinking of previous complications regarding pregnancy i would not try to be pregnant again.
From my last marriage i had many complications regarding pregnancy.
I don't have any other options left so far so surrogacy is the only solution to my problems i guess.
My husband agreed for surrogacy so i started looking for clinics with good surrogacy records.
I founded many clinics regarding surrogacy and i picked up the few clinics too for further discussion with them.
I contacted many clinics and told them every aspect of our complications.
From their satisfied answers i guess some clinics are the best solution for having a baby.
So i suggest that you people should also do your own research regarding surrogacy and should contact different clinics for further details.
Everytime miscarriage happened to me.
But i'm worried about many other aspects like my behaviour towards the baby after knowing everything.
Like when the baby grows up what i should tell him/her.
So i persuaded my husband to go for surrogacy to have our own children.
Someone raising a child via surrogacy should share their experience.

Hello Scoutradley! Welcome to the board. Happy to have you on board with us. I see that you have many questions unanswered. You need them to be answered. You are in luck. When I had my issues with fertility, I had to struggle a lot. The most hectic was finding te right clinic. But now that I did find one, I want everyone to do the same. I want to help. If I can. The clinic I went to is coming near to us now. [DELETED] is coming to Ukraine on 17th and 18th. They will answer questions. Maybe you'll get some answers there. I know you will. Good luck dear. I wish you good fortune.

Hello! How are you? Hope you are doing fine. I have read your post. I am sorry that you went through so much. I wish you hadn't. Infertility is indeed so hard. But there is a cure. There is always a way out. Seek out some good clinics. There have a lot of new advances. I am sure there will be something that can be done. But there is something I would like to warn you against. If you do decide to go to a clinic, stay clear of adonis. They are not worth wastig time on. They will only disappoint you.

Hello there! How are you? Hope you are doing fine. I am also infertile. I am not exaclty infertile. I have been advised against it. I have cancer. It is in my endometrium. Doctors say that at this stage I can get pregnant. But I shouldn't. So I am not even trying. My best chance is surrogacy. I was looking for some clinics. More than often I have been advised to visit Ukraine for surrogacy. I don't know what to do. I wanna believe all that I have heard. But sounds too good to be true. So I wanna ask you. Because you seem to have been around for a while. You must have friends here too. What should I do? SHould I go to Ukraine for surrogacy?

Hey sweetie! I know what you are going through. I have seen someone in the same situation as you are in. She was married about 2 years before her first born. She wasn't trying to have a baby But was not preventing either. She was happy. When her daughter was 4 years old, she decided to have another baby. Planned everything. But she couldn't get pregnant. Then she made the biggest mistake. She went to Lotus clinic. They declared her infertile and also that she can never be treated. She was so hopeless. She went into depression. I hate them ever since.

Hey there! How are you? I hope you are doing well. So you are not getting pregnant. Ivf and surrogcy are some good choices. Most people are recommended ivf when they have trouble conceiving. I am sorry that the first tries didn't work out for you. But that doesn't mean that you will never conceive. Ivf and surrogacy, both are good procedures. They have an increasing success rate. But it is important to get it from a good clinic. In the matter of finding a good clinic, I have an advice. Whatever you do, don't choose Lotus Clinic. They are very unprofessional. Good luck dear.

Hello there! How is everyone doing today? I am sitting here reading your story and feeling you. I know how hard it is. But don't los hope. There must be something for you. I have cancer. It is in my endometrium. I have been advised against getting pregnant. So I just sit here feeling like s***t. I can't even try. I don't have the excitement of that two week wait. I don't get disappointed every time there is a bfn. I am just flat. My life is so touche. Lotus played its part in making my struggles dim. They were so rude, so unprofessional, and very straightforward that I should try to live. And should not try yo have a baby. Thanks for making me die inside.
