Have you ever wondered how exactly the cycles of a gestational carrier (the woman who will carry out the pregnancy for 9 months) and the intended parent (the mother who donates her eggs)?
It’s pretty much impossible that this happens “coincidentally”, so there are medical drugs involved.
The drugs are used to suppress the natural cycle of the gestational carrier to synchronize it to the real mother’s cycle.
Over at the EvianaLife blog she described the procedure in detail and in a very clear manner, and it’s well worth reading. (Or check this out if you’re looking for more medical information on infertily)
She’s 36 years young and has been trying to conceive for more than 6 years with her husband. After a year of trying in vain naturally, they checked in with a fertility specialist and she got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In consequence, she had surgery (myomectomy) where most of her uterine fibroids got removed and you can read more about her “medical journey” on the about page of her blog.
"I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found your book! [...] After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in your book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy."
