Hello Everyone.
Myself and partner (2 females) are looking into Reciprocal IVF (Shared Motherhood) and are researching London/Surrey-based clinics.
Most clinics seem to charge £150-£200 for an initial consultation, but we're not sure how to chose between them without being able to speak with them first.
Does anyone have any positive (or not so positive) experiences of Shared Motherhood they can share?
We're currently looking at Create Wimbledon, CRGH (London) and New Life in Epsom.
Any advice/opinions would be gratefully received :)
This board is primarily for those whose children have LGBTQ+ parents to share their personal experiences and advice.
