What are your thoughts on this? To me it seems like a procedure entirely in the interests of the parents and not the child. Perhaps IABU.

Crosspost!

It’s just their standard procedure by the looks of it so normally they claim the uterus would be better prepared.

In this case all those benefits are out. If cross talk happens how does the embryo react to a different uterus in this case.

I’d like to know if it’s all wishful thinking and that capsule is letting anything happen

I’d have thought that “one donates the egg, the other carries the baby” is a pretty nice way of sharing without all this shoving it in and out like a yo-yo.

Pretentious, middle class, self indulgent, navel-gazing twaddle.

Take a pregnancy test @Faifaye. None of us can tell you if you're pregnant by looking at a piece of tissue paper

Ah but mumoftwo that doesn't garner as pp said the 'wow' Xmas Envy (not envy) Pretentious, middle class, self indulgent, navel-gazing twaddle attention factor as peace perfectly put it.

The complete disregard of the safety of the foetus. Just why????

DesMartinsPetCat · 04/12/2019 21:26

FFS @Faifaye please stop posting pictures of dirty toilet paper on threads.

SarahAndQuack · 04/12/2019 22:02

Sounds like a right faff and a pointless waste of money.

I really hate this wanky fetishisation of 'nature'. FFS, if you really, truly believe that only having a baby in your womb makes you a mother, you are - sorry - not cut out for lesbianism, which is by definition not really cut out for people who can't see beyond the family as defined by biological ties.

(And I say this as a lesbian mum.)

Extra infection risks to the few-days carrier, but I really can't see a problem with it otherwise.

SarahAndQuack · 04/12/2019 22:12

But why bother?

And why fetishise the act of incubating an embryo like that?

Just because they are lesbians, doesn't mean they can't and don't say stupid, insensitive things.
