Hello to everyone! During all my journey I wasn’t ready to share details. I felt unconfident and afraid because of some reasons. I was afraid my mistakes could guide someone into wrong direction. It’ll cause problems for some one. I didn’t want to spoil someone’s journey. My confidence was really poor. I was considering my experience as something wrong and full of negative moments. Now I know there’s no wrong experience at all. It’s that what makes our life fuller. After many years of TTC I can analyze many things in the other way. My awareness became larger. I’m actually newbie here. As a reader I know this forum since September 2016, maybe… I visited a couple of times per month. I never posted. In fact, I posted nowhere. As I explained I didn’t want to give wrong advice. As no one knows I am going to tell about my millstones briefly. More than 2 years ago I signed up with one Ukrainian clinic. It was actually an agency. Now it doesn’t exist. We can’t even find their website. They had just disappeared. Perhaps their main office announced they were bankrupts. It hasn’t become such a big bad news for me and my husband. We broke up our relations with them before it. We noticed many violations. There were breaches of the contract throughout the time until we interrupted it. It was awful. We’ve been advised to try with them. Unfortunately, we didn’t check with that agency. We lost some money because of our precipitate decision. It wasn’t a reason to be disappointed with other options. I was sure Ukraine could give us what we were looking for. I heard much good recommendations regarding Ukraine. We have signed up the contract with another clinic in that country. It was out little break through. We understood we had wasted much time. After my hysterectomy I was frustrated. It was unable to do anything further. You know how it’s tough for young woman to live through it. My husband was always beside me. It wasn’t easy for him to take it. I was proud of him and I’m still proud. Seemed I was falling into madness. He understood how it was serious. He could lose his wife. He was really losing. I can’t describe my state. It was easier to kill me than to understand what I was doing. Honestly, I know only one thing for sure. He loved me and still loves. There were some episodes when he had got doubt. I saw it! He left home for a few hours. He got normalized with his thoughts and went on. I was really afraid he would start drinking. He didn’t surrender in front of difficulties. I appreciate his patience most of all. We got confused after our unsuccessful attempt. We wanted to find a new place immediately. However, it was a really complicated task. We looked for such a place in the US and Georgia. We even called one agency in South Africa. We contacted clinics in CR and Russia. We even visited clinic in Greece. That one was the most favorable in comparison with others. In fact, it just seemed to be. After long-lasting investigation, we stopped research in Ukraine again. Money meant a lot. Whatever you’ll say money does mean a lot. Ukraine attracted our attention not only because of price policy. Of course, comparing it to US agencies you’ll save much money after all. Anyway Ukraine has much else to draw your attention. I felt better. My depression stole more than year. We tried to forget all related to this episode in our life. It was painful, sorrowful, and we didn’t intend focusing on bad things. New clinic gave us a hope. We loved the way our manager used to treat her clients. It’s less about professionalism. It’s more likely about the best expression of hospitality we’ve ever seen. She was lovely. Other people were also kind to us. There were a couple of contract types. I mean they had more but only couple of them was suitable for us. I like the offer regarding donor selection. I was looking forward to seeing the base to choose. I wasn’t disappointed. The base was a place where anyone could find the best. It was many months ago. I’m posting here because (according to expectation) our surrogate must give birth in one week. I guess everything is going to be all right. It was a soft, smooth, calm, quiet pregnancy. I don’t know the adjective to describe. I’m very nervous because of coming event. Pregnancy was going without problems indeed. Our surrogate is a great one. She’s done it as a maven.
Honestly, I didn’t see my surrogate in person. I sadly admit it. We didn’t have an opportunity to meet her. We had a skype call few times. She was looking very lovely. It was necessary to have skype calls. We couldn’t wait for more. We spoke with help of our clinic’s interpreter. It was okay, I felt huge gratitude. We prepared some gifts for our SM. I hope she’ll like them. I actually can’t expect for our friendship. It’s her personal business. We don’t want fringing her own privacy. It’ll not be cool at all. If she minds to have communication after our treatment, I’ll take in for granted. It’s her right. No one should force her. As well we didn’t choose our surrogate. We’ve been told it’s a regular practice. The leading doctor choses and approves surrogates. I couldn’t get okay with it. I thought the IPs should choose who will carry their baby. But anyway I trusted my doctor. Now I’m very anxious. I can’t get peace. New heavy thoughts come like new wave over and over. We are already in Ukraine. Now we don’t walk along the city. Our mood doesn’t allow us feeling good enough for taking some walk. It is a very nervous and decisive stage. I pray to God and can’t think about anything else. You understand me. I’m open to share details regarding Ukraine. Who is interested in that, please, feel free to ask. I’m here for that. I don’t even know how to tittle the story. I don’t know how to finish this post. Should it be a question or that’s enough. I even don’t know what to do now. I’m afraid my tension can get higher. I’m feeling very excited. I won’t get upset if you consider my post too long to read. I’ll be okay even without your answers. I just want to hope all will be excellent guys.

Thank you for your honest post. It’s really exciting to read. I got inspired. You are about to reach the goal you’ve been approaching during many years. I didn’t know what to expect when you said you was disappointed with Ukrainian agency. I though you would change the country.
You seem like a clever one. One failed business with particular office can’t ruin the whole reputation of the country. I don’t know how I would act.
I was also lovely to know your husband is such a hero. He supported you all the time. I can also be proud of mine.
He was also a very supportive. However, we weren’t in such a frustrating mess. Your biography has got more devastating trials.
I suppose so. I passed through unpleasant moments on my own. I also felt very bad. My case is something different from hysterectomy. It’s hard for me to identify what exactly harder to take. I’m diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I can’t even know what’s wrong with me. It disappoints so much. But stories by women who underwent hysterectomy are touching.
I can’t believe you defeated your depression. It was a big deal. Now you experience a huge progress. You deserved to become a happy mother. You’ll definitely be a wonderful mother. Your baby is a lucky one. I heard that in Ukraine you don’t choose a surrogate. It’s pretty reasonable for me. She doesn’t take part in genetic development of the baby. Her appearance and the features won’t influence your baby. maybe it’s really better to allow the doctors to choose. I liked to read another positive review about Ukraine. I’m planning now to have a program with this country. We are just doing some preparations. I hope our journey will be the same fine as yours. Actually it’s not the end. There will be a paperwork. It’s always a nervous process. My best wishes. Be blessed. My sincere congratulations on all the milestones you have already crossed.

Such a nice thread! Thank you for sharing. Ukraine becomes more popular. I guess you weren’t obliged to explain the reason why you had opted for Ukraine. Many people chose it because that was just preferable. Ukraine has many advantages. I feel much sorry for your loss. Hysterectomy is always a hard blow. It’s punch that not everyone can endure. But you didn’t give up. It’s very praiseworthy. You are a real warrior. You needed to have a donor. In such case Ukraine was an excellent option. I heard from lots of people there are a little number of countries which could offer something relevant. I am also with Ukrainian clinic. I met different people during our last visit. Some of them were in program with using their own eggs. The most part of them was applying to egg donation. Your baby or babies will apparently be beautiful. Ukrainian girls are literally good-looking. I’m having surrogacy journey in Ukraine too. I don’t know which clinic you are dealing with. It doesn’t matter for me. The main thing for me is that our clinics have made everything to feel fine. I’m confident in my choice. That’s the most important to know. I wish you to have the safe rest of journey. You are about to become a mother. It’s understandable why you worry.

Talking about Ukraine as a fertility destination on the map I always have what to say. It’s interesting and controversial. I can find those who agree with the method in this country as well it’s not a big task to find those who are afraid of visiting Ukraine. Surrogacy there is a great chance. I mean the chance to change something at last. They manage their work well. I can admit only following. They built a perfect system of accepting new clients. They know how to treat them to make them pleased. It was a difficult working history of development. I’ve been observing it during a long time. It’s really interesting. Reading many positive reviews, I see the progress. More and more new reviews by recent annually. It proves that Ukraine doesn’t stop its research in improving service and medical care.

Well, I guess you've become a parent now!? Congratulations!! It's been a tough journey for you as I can see, through ups and downs. Hopefully, it's ended that good. May i ask you why did go to Ukraine for surrogacy? I know people do surrogacy in the UK, so why then? I know it's even possible to ask some friends to carry a baby for you if you are ready to compensate all medical expenses. You then don't have to go abroad and can easily meet your surrogate whenever you want. You've made a research I see, I guess you must have considered this. Sorry If I sound like an expert, although have no experience

Your post made me cry. Infertility journey is the hardest one to go through. There are so many obstacles in the way that it is unbelievable. It has been 5 years since I have been diagnosed with infertility and these 5 years have been the worst. There are so many highs and lows in the way, I almost felt like giving up. I myself recently found a clinic and I made sure that they were operating legally and they cared about the patients and gave us the importance. So far I am really impressed with the way they have dealt with us. Everything is being done in a very systematic manner.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also visiting a clinic in Ukraine for my process. So far things have been going really well. I am actually surprised. I believe it is all about visiting the right clinic. We had to do a lot of research before deciding which clinic to opt for. It was a big decision to opt for a clinic that was located abroad. However, now when I think about it I am glad I opted for them.
