How to Deal with Infertility

After you’ve been trying to get pregnant for one year, two years, three years, or more, you’ll probably start thinking about other options, other than conceiving and giving birth to your own child. (You probably also have a lot less money in your pocket than when you began trying a number of years ago, due to the very limited amount of coverage health insurance agencies provide you with to aid in conception)

At this point, you’ve probably exhausted all of your options for birthing your own child. If not, before turning to adoption or surrogacy, make sure you’ve done the following:
•    Gotten tested yourself—hormone levels, ovulation, etc.
•    Tried oral fertility drugs like Clomid.
•    Tried hormone injections, if necessary.
•    Gotten your husband’s sperm checked.
•    In-vitro fertilization
If these methods of getting pregnant have not worked, then it’s time to begin considering these other options.
Surrogacy – Your doctor should know whether this could work for you. If there is nothing wrong with your eggs and nothing wrong his sperm, then the problem is likely that your body is simply not capable of conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy. If that’s the case, then you can turn to a surrogate who uses her body to carry your embryo. You’d be hard pressed to find someone to volunteer doing this for you, so expect to spend loads of money. When the baby is born, he or she will be the complete biological product of you and your husband.
Adoption – If you’re not a candidate for surrogacy, or you’re just uncomfortable with having someone else carry your baby, then adoption would be ideal for you. There are so many babies in the world who are in need of loving parents, and if you fit that bill, then you will be doing some lucky child in the world the greatest kindness.  You’ll also get your baby.
