It is not as easy to get pregnant as you may think, but that’s ok: It is important to start your conversation coming from a place of love, and no judgement.

Shutting down stereotypes that come along with infertility issues: There are so many stereotypes that automatically come to mind when individuals hear about infertility issues. The main one being, can I no longer become a parent? To answer that question, of course you can! We are lucky to be living in a world where we have so many different options, even after finding out about infertility complications. This is a key component to bring up when discussing infertility with family and friends. Just because you cannot carry your own baby, does not mean that this is the end for you becoming a parent. At Simple Surrogacy, we offer many different options for our Intended Parents. One being, gestational surrogacy– which is the process where the embryo is created through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). During this process the eggs can be from the Intended Mother, or an Egg Donor. The sperm is from the Intended Father or a Donor, and then transferred to the Surrogate. To learn more about this procedure, visit our gestational overview page to help break down the process in more depth!
Make sure to vocalize how much information you want to share: Being very transparent from the start with your family and friends will help keep them from overwhelming you. This is why it is a good idea to let them know that when you are ready to discuss certain treatments or procedures, you will come to them when you are ready! This will eliminate them asking you too many questions that you may not be ready to answer. At Simple Surrogacy, we are experienced in all things infertility, and are here to make you feel less alone during this sensitive time!
