[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 44.  We have one child who I got pregnant with easily and then TTC #2 for 8 years with zero success.  We did infertility treatments for the first 5 years and then TTC on our own for 3 years.  I never got pregnant even once in all that time.

I received a diagnosis of "unexplained secondary infertility."  To my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with my uterus.  DH and I have now decided we want to try with donor eggs but due to my advanced maternal age we don't think we want me to try to become pregnant with DE.  Can we work with a surrogate without a medical reason?[/quote]

I think advanced maternal age might be enough of a medical reason for some doctors. I was advised to use a surrogate by a couple MFMs.  Main risk factors were advanced maternal age. But I did also have a prior laparoscopic myomectomy so that may have factored into the recommendation as well.   But I still think my age was also a major factor in the decision since there are plenty of risks that go up with age e.g. preeclampsia, etc.   (I first saw one at 45 and then ended up getting pregnant at age 47 - I didn't follow the surrogacy advice).
