[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many REs will only do a transfer to a gestational carrier (GC) if you can show medical need. If you are doing donor egg through an agency, the agency will probably also require you show medical need if you're intending to implant in a GC. (GC is preferred to the term "surrogate" usually because of the confusion with traditional surrogacy, where the surrogate is also providing the egg).

However, unexplained secondary fertility issues absolutely do count as medical need. You just need your RE to document that for you and you're good to go.

It is extremely expensive, though! And slower, because [b]you will be required to freeze your DE embryo for 6 months, I think, by regulation, before you can implant in the GC.

This might be true in some cases, but I can say it isn't universally true. I'm in the process right now of using a DE and GC, and this hasn't been the case for us.

I do agree it's expensive!!!

Good luck, OP! [/quote]
