All advice appreciated
ok so my wife and i want to be prego by June. I am planning to carry her egg. Does anyone have advice? Personal experience? I just want to know what to expect...lol
Re: All advice appreciated
Well, my first piece of advice is not to set dates or goals for when to concieve by. On average, it can take a healthy woman up to 6 months to get pregnant - of course it can be much shorter for some women and longer for others. There is simply no way to predict at the onset how long it will take, so having a goal in your head such as "by June" might be setting yourself up for some heartbreak.
Next, you'll want to call your insurance company(ies) and see if what, if anything, will be covered. Have you found an RE in your area? They should be able to give you a list of the procedure codes you'll be billed for the meds, monitoring, and egg retrival adn transfer that you'll need to have one partner carry the other's egg.
Then there's the question of the sperm...have you discussed using a known or unknown donor?
I think your best bet will be to pop on over to the LGBT Parenting board - browse some of the threads there to find more info and book suggestions.
Best of luck to you - there are many ladies on this board who have been through the process!
