[quote=Anonymous]After a brief (in hindsight) period of infertility, I finally conceived and delivered 2 little boys.  My SIL has been TTC for a lot more years going through surgeries, meds, and failed IVF and DE.  Prior to her DE round, I offered to be a gestational surrogate.  Wanting to experience pregnancy herself, she chose to do DE.  I completely understand that.  I also understand wanting to be a mother so bad that it consumes your life.  And because I understand that pain, I want to take her's away if I can.  I'm still willing to do the surrogacy, but I don't want to come off as insensitive or patronizing.  I don't know how someone who has gone through so much for so many years to become pregnant would feel about the idea of surrogacy.  I am wondering if there are women here who have considered using a surrogate, and if so, at what point did you come to that decision?  Also, do I extend my offer to her again or wait for her to ask?  Her failed DE experience is pretty recent and she's still fairly raw from it.  And I don't know what her next steps are.  Thanks.  [/quote]
